Rename a Test Result to match your team’s terminology, such as changing PASSED to Pass. The new name appears wherever that result is used in your Jira workspace.
Renaming changes the display name. It keeps the result’s underlying status and result type, along with existing execution records.
Before you begin
You must be a Jira administrator to rename a Test Result. Space administrator access alone does not grant this permission.
The change applies across the Jira workspace, including other Jira spaces where the result is available.
Use a unique, nonempty name with fewer than 50 characters. A name already used by another result cannot be reused by changing only its capitalization.
Rename a Test Result
Open Vansah in a Jira space and select Settings (gear icon).
Under Vansah Settings, select Space.
In the left menu, select Test Results.
Find the result under Default Results and click its pencil icon to rename it.
For a result under Custom Results, open its three-dot menu and select Rename.
Enter the new name.
Click Save (checkmark) or press Enter. To discard the change, click Cancel (X) or press Esc.
What changes after renaming
Setting or record | Effect |
Result name | The new display name is used across the workspace, including when viewing existing executions. |
Status and result type | These stay the same. For example, renaming a passing result does not turn it into a failure. |
Existing Test Runs and Test Logs | Their recorded outcomes are retained. |
Enabled setting and scope | Renaming does not change whether the result is enabled or which Jira spaces can use it. |
Example: If you rename PASSED to Pass, earlier passing executions display the new name while keeping their passing outcome.
If an automation or API integration sends results by name, update it to use the configured name. Where supported, using the result ID avoids depending on the display name. See Create a Test Run through the API.
If you cannot save the name
Check that your account has Jira administrator access.
Remove leading or trailing spaces and enter a name with fewer than 50 characters.
Choose a name that is not already used by another result in the workspace.
To return to an earlier name, repeat the rename steps and enter that name again.
