Group name generation
The celix Zones Plugin needs to create groups dynamically. It is possible to choose between two templates (human readable or simple). This Template is used whenever the Zones Plugin creates a JIRA group for a Zone or Zone Role. This configuration only affects new groups, groups already created are left untouched.
Templates
Human readable template (default)
zones-MyZoneField-MyZone zones-MyZoneField-MyZone-2 (in case the generated name already exists) zones-MyZoneField-MyZone-MyZoneRole zones-MyZoneField-MyZone-MyZoneRole-2 (in case the generated name already exists)
Simple template
zones-1 zones-2 (in case the generated name already exists) zones zones-2 (in case the generated name already exists)
