Edit the appearance of the "Related work" section

I've noticed that a recent update to Jira Software Cloud has created a section called "Related work" below the ticket description. It contains two tabs: Subtasks and Linked items. My primary board doesn't use Subtasks at all, but it uses a large amount of Linked items, and now they seem invisible when opening a ticket. How can I change the board settings to default to the Linked items tab?

Since this is a new feature, it seems like the settings are not available yet. I've submitted feedback through the Jira app and hopefully this will be customizable before it's fully rolled out.

Lets hope so - this is again a very annoying "enhancement"....

Hi @Larissa Gutscher

I can't reproduce this, might be a beta feature being tested, can you share a screenshot?

Hi @Marc -Devoteam- - here's what I see on each issue across all the boards in my organisation (with the Description collapsed):

It is automatically open on every ticket and always on the subtasks tab, even when linked items are present (which is the case in the ticket above).

Hi @Larissa Gutscher

It seems this is rolling out, as it is mentioned in the latest update notification.

Hi @Larissa Gutscher

This is rolling out.

That's why I might not see this yet.

If you don't like this feature, use the help option in Jira and the Feedback option.
