issuelinktypes confusion

[Graul Klemens]

Hey there!

For long I try to clean-up our issuelinktype names. Having a look again on my task I suddenly see tranlsations appear, but can't figure out how/when to change....

while linking issue shows german in frontend (wanted behaviour):

jira admin for links shows english (with no way to alterate):

via /rest/api/3/issueLinkType:

Does anyone encountered the same, did I miss some ongoing changes to this?

I'm wondering because it seems a little strange, that:

for example: filtering by "issueLinkType IN (Blocks)" shows "is cloned by" too. in this case the ONLY link is clone, no blocks, is blocked etc.

something strange going on with issuelinktypes?

thanks a bunch in advance

Hello @Graul Klemens 

From my experience Admin and REST expose the canonical English values.

I also found this JAC [JRACLOUD-98637] JQL search using issueLinkType parameter returns incorrect results - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

try switching your personal Jira language to English and reopen the same work item. I'd expect the UI labels to change while the REST values remain unchanged.

Thanks Arek for that link to bug report.

sadly this has low priority with no upvotes which is shocking in my opinion :D

I have to postpone my task then.... :/

btw, this was my intended task for clean up:
