I’m in the process of updating the SonarQube project key for several projects. In our setup, the project key is automatically generated by combining a prefix with the project name (e.g., if the project name is sonarproject1 and the prefix is prefix, the key becomes prefix_sonarproject1), so due to this i have to change both project name & key.
To perform the change, I update the project key in the SonarQube UI and modify the YAML pipeline files accordingly. However, after running the analysis on the main branch, I notice that only the main branch’s data and history are preserved — all other branches disappear from the project.
How can I change the project key while ensuring that the history and data of all branches are retained, not just the main branch?
