Linking work items does not find issues using key

Hi, @Martin Vali 

The search field for linked work items does a text search across the issue summary, not the issue key. So when you type "2023", it's matching that string against titles/descriptions — that's why you're seeing unrelated results that happen to contain "2023" in their text.

To find PRB-2023 specifically, type the full issue key PRB-2023 in the search field. That should return it directly.

It's a bit counterintuitive, but the search prioritizes summary text over issue key numbers when you only type a partial number.

Hope that helps...
