Configuring Project Key with Hyphen

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi,

      In jira-application.properties, it say that Hyphens should be excluded in Project Key Pattern.

      # Project Key Pattern
      # Specify the perl5 regexp for defining the project key - this regex will be prepended with "^" and closed with "$" for an exact matching rule.
      # Note that the project key must only be allowed to contain ASCII characters, as it is used in HTTP GET requests.  This means that
      # you should not allow slashes (/) in your project keys, as they will make it impossible for JIRA to distinguish between
      # project keys and unrelated URL parts.  See http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-12819.  Hyphens should also be excluded.  See http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-13910 for more information.
      #
      # Also specify the warning and description that will be displayed to inform the user how the project key should be formed.
      #
      # If you wish to have alphaNumeric project keys, use the pattern:  ([A-Z][A-Z0-9]+)
      jira.projectkey.pattern = ([A-Z][A-Z]+)
      
      
      

      However, our example at Configuring Project Keys show the example using hyphen as shown in the screenshot below:

      This two documentations contradict each other and actually, Hyphens should not be used in the Project Key.

      Cheers,
      Janet
