How do you remove a bitbucket repository shortcut?

[Samer Mansour]

It appears the edit icon for bitbucket repositories linked to a jira project is no longer available and removal is impossible now. Did it move somewhere else?

I can't remove a duplicated link, cluttering up our shortcuts.

It used to work very much like this data center version of the help document: 
https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/add-a-shortcut-link-to-a-repository-897811720.html

Seems like missing from cloud now since the new UI and layout.

Edit: Found this code section, some of the repo's are duplicated, the one repo that was duplicated in the shortcuts "Shared PRs" is completely missing on this Code tab. Weird.

Hello @Samer Mansour 

I'm having the same experience with links to repositories in Bitbucket Cloud.

Google AI came up with the following. I was not able to test this in my Free Jira instance:

Deleting a repository link (shortcut) in Jira Cloud involves the following steps:

• Navigate to the project: 

  Go to the specific Jira project where the repository link (shortcut) is located.
• Access Project Settings: 

  Depending on your project type (Next-gen or Classic), locate "Project settings" in the sidebar.
• Find Development Tools or Code:

  • For Classic projects, navigate to "Development tools" within Project settings.
  • For Next-gen projects, you might find a "Code" section directly under Project settings.
• Edit Repository Settings: 

  Within the Development tools or Code section, you should see options to manage connected repositories. You might need to click an "Edit" or similar button next to the specific repository you want to remove.
• Delete the Repository Link: 

  Locate the option to "Delete" or "Remove" the repository link. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

This is a hallucination and not the correct answer.

AI's do not hallucinate but they do sometimes provide incorrect answers.

As I said, I was not able to test it (the Development feature is in beta and not available with my instance), so I was unable to confirm or refute it.

Since you are on a paid subscription, you could ask your Jira Administrators to raise a support request with Atlassian Technical Support to get an authoritative answer. If you choose to go that route it would be lovely if you share what you learn with the community by updating this post.

Hi @Samer Mansour ,

According to what I can find, editing shortcuts requires Jira Administrator or Jira Space Administrator privileges. Jira Administrator will be for the full instance, while Jira Space Administrator is for the specific Jira Space. Can you confirm you have one of the two?

Generally, Space Administrator privileges are granted via the "Administrator" role for the Space, and you will have access to the Space / Project Settings.

I wonder if maybe some access changes were applied to your account recently?

Here's the (very brief) help article on this topic: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/add-edit-or-delete-a-shortcut/

I have administrator access, this is not the correct answer.

Hi @Samer Mansour , glad to hear you have administrative privileges.

I was able to find a resolved bug ticket on Atlassian's public tracker, which included a workaround. This workaround requires the use of Atlassian's Cloud REST APIs, but you may have luck with deleting the shortcut via this method.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-82947

I haven't tested this myself, so I would encourage caution before you attempt to delete the shortcut via this method.

Workaround

It is possible to delete the shortcut using the REST API:

curl --location --request DELETE 'https://your-site-here.atlassian.net/rest/projects/1.0/project/XXXXX/shortcut/15' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: <>' \
--data '{
}'
