Quick Tips: How to Find Your Project ID in JIRA Cloud

Have you ever created a filter in JIRA full of project names and returned to edit it, only to find all the project names replaced by five-digit numbers with no context? The trial and error approach (deleting and restoring numbers one by one until the project you wanted to remove no longer appears in the filter results) is painful. So, how do you find the ID for a project?

Previous version of JIRA

Step 1. As an admin user, select the gear to open the admin dropdown and select Projects under JIRA Administration.

Step 2. Select your project from the list.

Step 3. Once on the project summary page, select Details on the left.

Step 4. The project ID appears at the end of the URL.

On the new JIRA experience:

Step 1. As an admin user, select Projects from the left nav.

Step 2. Select your project from the list.

Step 3. Once on the project page, select Settings at the bottom of the project nav.

Step 4. The project ID appears at the end of the URL.
