Issue Linking is defaulting to an Inward label

Don Hames_cizkka

On the Jira Issue Settings, the Issue Linking has several Issue Link types defined by Name, Outward Description, and Inward Description. This is a feature that you turn On or Off; if On, it's a list with no way to change the order or define one as a default.

Recently, after editing the In Inward Description on one of the Issue Link types, that type started appearing on project issues in the Linked Issues dropdown as a default or preselected Link type.

Is there a way not to have a default like we had before, which was blank?

Thank you for sharing your expertise and hopefully solving this perplexing problem.

Hi @Don Hames

Sounds more like cache settings than anything. Do you have the same issue when you set your browser to incognito?

@Benjamin I tried it in Incognito mode, and it shows the first Inward Description in alphabetical order. I then tried it in a standard window, and the first Inward Description in alphabetical order is the default.

I don't remember it ever having a default value before; it's just a blank dropdown. I will keep trying other things to see why the default (now that there is one) was changing.

Did it always display a default value when you clicked +Add and selected Linked Issue?

Thanks,

As far as I know, it has never been blank for me. I just check my instance out and I have the same experience with it being alphabethical order.

I tried other projects and I get default value in all cases. Looks to be the expected behavior. I look at the settings in the linking page and there no option to leave blank. The only option to configure on there is enable and disable linking.

@Benjamin Thank you for the confirmation. It now defaults at the top of the alphabetized list, so I will call this a win. Thanks for your help.
