inserting a dynamic link

[saiful.khan@horus-security.co.uk]

Our requirement is we need to add a button or menu item or a link to issue. On clicking this, it will open an external link. The external link is composed of an external URL and the issue id  (issue_id) from which it was clicked, e.g., http://www.myurl.com/issue_id

Dear Atlassian/Jira,

Could you please create some simple documents with examples? Like the Qt documents :) 

Anyway I could implement it using features, e.g., web-section and web-item:

1.  https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/issue-view-ui-locations/

2. A short and useful video tutorial is on:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4m-heLNqv4
