## Description

**As** a project administrator who wants to change a project identifier  
**I want to** easily find where I do that  
**so that** I don't have to search for it

**Acceptance criteria**

  - In the project settings, the button "Change identifier" in the top right corner is removed

  - Instead there is a field for it in the section "Information" -\> "Basic details"

  - When project-based alphanumeric semantic work package IDs are used, we validate for
    
      - All uppercase letters
    
      - Only letters, numbers and underscore are allowed (dashes are disallowed)
    
      - Maximum 10 characters
    
      - Needs to start with a letter

  - When regular numeric IDs are used, we keep the current validations, therefore
    
      - All lowercase letters
    
      - Only letters, numbers, underscores and dashes are allowed
    
      - Maximum 100 characters

**Technical notes**

  - This relies on the implementation of at least parts of <mention class="mention" data-id="71633" data-type="work_package" data-text="#71633">\#71633</mention> so that we can know which rules for validation apply.

**Permissions and visibility considerations**

  - Everyone who is allowed to access and change the Project Settings is allowed to change this.

**Out of scope**
