Links from issues to tickets in Lotus Notes

[Frank Werhan]

Hello Atlassian Community,

We want to use links within issues to corresponding tickets in Lotus Notes. We can do this by using the Lotus Notes protocol "Notes://...". We can add a custom text field and insert the link "Notes://...". If someone clicks on the link the ticket in Lotus Notes will open. Unfortunately it seems that you can't use a link text. So you see the complete URL to the ticket which is very long. It would be nice if we can use a link text which contains only the ticket number. Is this possible within in a custom field?

I figured out that we can activate HTML for the issue description field. So that we can use the following HTML tag:

{html}<a href="Notes://...">Click here</a> {html}

But according to the documentation it's a security issue. Moreover it's a little bit too complicated i think. Using the following expression within the item description doesn't work:

[link title|Notes://...]

Best regards,

Frank

Dear Frank, hi!

I am not sure, that it will help you, but you could try to link your Jira instance with Lotus.

Hi Vasiliy,

Thank you for the reply. You can't use a URL like "Notes://..." for application links because application links expect the http protocol (http://) instead of "Notes://".

Best regards,

Frank
