Jira allows a pre-fix and an incremental integer per project. But you ONLY allow per space? This means for each project I have to create space. Which sucks considering I upgraded to Business for task ids. Which you made into a big deal! Got me excited over nothing. Which hurts me a great deal :( I am just about ready to head back to Jira in shame.

But in reality, it's just a moniker on top of a list or folder or a space consisting of a varchar/string and an Integer. That integer increments with each new addition of a task to the scope (which is the "task container" aka Space OR Folder OR List - where you locate the prefix code, right?).

I am not sure what tech you are using, but I will code this feature for free! Just add to your Jira project. Because I doubt your developers use Click Up for task management. But then again, who knows? Maybe you have a feature flag turned on.

But seriously, I will write the code for this feature at no cost for you because there is no way it is not doable in time - before I churn as far away as I can and tell everyone I know this sad fact.

It can be done! Little chance of major regressions - seriously. Two vanity fields? Jira made the PREFIX-INT_INCREMENT notation an industry-standard in like 2005. In stand-up meetings when you say "Yesterday, I closed ABC-111 and 122, today I am working on ABC-123, no blockers." is so much better than recalling three UUIDs or whatever.

Agreed?

Offering my services for free just to code this FEATURE that you singled out as something special. But really it's not even good enough. How can you ask me for money for this FEATURE and forget to make it usable in your "hierarchy" of things - which with all due respect probably normalizes as the same Interface - more or less.

So then what do you say? Should I write up this user story for this? Then I am sure I can code this. But I might just write a chrome extension instead and make like $1 per seat selling it to other CTOs in my vast network on Linked In - which makes me a micro SasS founder. But come next Friday - we release it to me for testing with a feature flag - or you got me making your free version, the ONLY version people with my extension will need.

Now the world makes sense again. I am can code anything I want and "Kick Up Extensions" is going to be opinionated in order to make your unopinionated product better.

Thank you.

PS: I feel that this expresses my understanding of what is going on. Also, you totally took me through the process of creating a new scope today and ended up with an upgrade screen. That's so much more abrupt than even this stupid message.
