We have been considering moving our documentation to confluence, because of its tight integration with Jira.
When I write a spec in confluence, I can click on some text and automatically create a Jira issue, which is great and it sets up links between Jira and confluence.
The problem is that it creates an "issue link" in the jira item linking to the confluence document but I can't figure out how to get "issue links" to appear in the issue preview to the right of the board. When I go into the Issue Layout, I don't see any "Linked Issues", but it says that if fields do not appear they need to be added in the "Default Issue Screen". So I went into the default issue screen and "Linked Issues" is present in the list. If it is in the default screen, then why is it not in the issue layout ?
