How can one configure a JIRA key to start with something other than 1?

For example, PROJ-123 as the first issue instead of PROJ-1.

I was able to do this once via a properties file but c开发者_运维问答annot seem to find it now.

This article may help you out. It involves running an SQL statement against the Jira database.

Ah! .. it can be done by modifying the project.pcounter field in the database.
