Allow nature ID without prepending project ID

Opened this issue · 3 comments

The ID of a nature is limited to some text with the project ID prepended:

Project = my.project
Nature = myNature
Nature ID = my.project.myNature

Product renames and project cleanup become a nightmare with this restriction. Please allow for a fully specified nature ID without prepending the project ID:

Project = my.project
Nature = this.is.my.nature.and.i.want.to.name.it.myNature
Nature ID = this.is.my.nature.and.i.want.to.name.it.myNature

Do you plan to contribute and maintain such a change? Otherwise it is unlikely done.

Note that if an id with a '.' is qualified nevertheless currently, then changing the behavior now would potentially break existing uses of this so I'm sure if that's acceptable...

I could I suppose, let me check with mgmt.
