How do you stop your URLs from turning into tags instead?

[Suzanne Benner]

Fairly recently, JIRA started changing all of the URLs I type in tickets to tags instead, and I want them to stay URLs without having to go in and right click on them and re-select what I typed in the first place.  Is there a way to stop that behavior?

Hi Suzanne - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There is an open feature request associated with this functionality here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21494

Feel free to vote for it and follow along for any changes.

Thanks... so I guess the answer is no.  Unfortunate that we didn't get to vote about whether our content gets changed in the first place.

Haha, yes, sorry - the answer is No. 

Yeah, that's one of those changes that have been made and dropped based on feedback that some users thought would be helpful. Hopefully, they will implement the ability to change the default for it.
