Link from Dashboard gets opened in Gadget itself!

[GS1337]

Hello,

I'm using the "Text" gadget in my Jira Dashboard where you can enter a HTML Code. I allready used this to create a link to other Dashboards which works fine. But when i use a link that contains a URL to create a now Issue, it opens the create issue screen in he gadget itself. Is there a solution so it only opens the link in a new tab like it does for the Dashboard links?

Hi @GS1337 ,

You can try as below

<a href="https://yourjiraurl/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=yourprojectid&issuetype=yourissuetypeid" target="_blank">Create Issue</a>

replace yourjiraurl, yourpojectid and yourissuetyeid.

Have you tried using:

target='_BLANK'

Also, while on dashboard, you already have the 'Create' button to create new issues, why provide another link in the gadget?
