URL Link with link name, is it possible?

Raj Learn December 9, 2020

I would like to add a custom field that allows me to edit the text displayed, instead of displaying the entire URL.

For example, if I wanted to link to Google, the user-facing text would be "Google" and not "www.google.com"

Is there any way to do this? I found the URL field, but it only shows the full link, and I'd like to give my users some idea of what they're clicking on.

Hello Raj,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

Just for a better understanding of the feature you need, I would like to know if you would like each ticket to have a fixed URL or if you would like a shortcut outside of the ticket. 

Testing here, none of the text fields and also the URL field allows using markup or markdown to format the text, so it will show the entire link.

Since it's for internal users, the workaround would be to use the "Add item" feature that creates a shortcut on the left sidebar.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Angélica
