[Feat]: ability to change space url/slug

Open andrewm4894 opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Problem

sometimes users would like to change or update a space slug/url.

its not really realistic to ask users to just make a new space and start clean in there.

Description

Admins should be able to just change a space slug and urls gets updated with redirect implemented for the old slug at the time of the change. Note: No redirect mechanism will be applied for users trying to access the old URL, proper warning will be given that old bookmarks will be broken

Importance

nice to have

Value proposition

  1. better flexibility and user experience

Proposed implementation

When user is going to updates the Space Slug, new attribute on the Space settings screen, when clicking the save button he needs to get a warning modal where he needs to confirm the change:

With the change of the Space Slug this will cause previous **links to be broken**. In case you have some bookmarks or previous references using the previous Space Slug you should update them where possible.
Please confirm you want to proceed with the change."

oh haha - just realised it is possible to change space name - just not the url/slug - updating this issue to focus on url/slug

Adding another vote for this. Netdata's quick, zero-config setup is great, but it automatically named my URL based on my email address (anthony), when it really should be my company name, not my personal name.

Seeing this as well, any update on this feature?
