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)
