Linking attachments in Confluence to Jira bug/story

Question

Hello,

I am hoping to get some feedback/advice on linking attachments in Confluence to related bugs within a Jira.

When my dev team is working on a particular bug/story, I want to be able to link the related "Use Case" to it. These Use Cases are uploaded into Confluence as attachments.  I tried doing this by pasting in the link but the link doesn't take me to the specific document, it just takes me back to the file list.

Any advice or suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the suggestion, I gave it a try and it's close to what I have been trying to accomplish. When the confluence page link is clicked on within the Jira issue,  it downloads the word document versus taking me to the actual document within Confluence. I would prefer this because then the user could click to "edit" the Use Case document after completing the Story/Task.

@Angelina Cordaro One trick you can use is that you can copy the URL of the attachment (by right clicking the attachment) and then link that URL to the JIRA issue, using "Web Link" option, rather than "Confluence Page" option. It should work as you need.

Hope it helps and works for you !
