Confluence - how do I link product requirements to existing issues in Jira?

[Giles]

Newbie to Confluence, so please bear with me.

I am entering product requirements into Confluence. It allows me to create an issue in Jira for the highlighted text / requirement, which is great. But how do I link text / a requirement to an existing Jira issue (yes, I know I'm doing this the wrong way round, but we created all the issues in Jira first, oops)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Giles - Welcome to the Community! :)

For example you can just "mention" a JIRA ticket on Confluence page and it should automatically show in JIRA :)

Please look at other options of linking by reading this blog

Does this still work? 

I just set up the jira software and confluence cloud services and I cannot seem to get the jira ticket and confluence linking to work. 

Could it be because I am still on the trial?

Wonderful, many thanks for such a swift response, really appreciated.
