Our company very rarely uses subtasks but we utilize the linking feature on nearly every item. As of this morning, linked items are now hidden by default. Why? Change it back.

Hi @Cal Nelson -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Thanks for posting that image!  I wondered what this new-this-week, surprise feature looked like when it was only announced in the weekly blog:

Kind regards,

As most of the time I am using linked items and not subtasks so this change is like a taking a step backward. If you want to introduce something like this them there should be a default option which tab should be seen as default.
