Replacement for 'Easy Links for JIRA' for custom fields that wrap issue links?

M_S_

We have been using 'Easy Links for JIRA' to create custom fields for linking issues. Essentially, the plugin wraps existing standard issue links of a specific type into a multi-select lookup field.

However, the plugin did not receive any updates in quite a while and is not compatible with JIRA 8+. Today, I found out that the plugin seems to have just disappeared from the Marketplace. Going to its marketplace listing just gives me the version history.

Does anyone know what happened to the otherwise fine product?

Also, does anyone know a replacement (for server, not cloud)? Note that it is essential that the custom field just wraps standard issue links and does not store custom link data.

We already use 'Elements Connect' (previously nFeed) for other custom lookup fields, so I will send them a request. A quick search also showed up vLinks, which may be worth looking at (with just 64 installs though).

Any other ideas? Any feedback would be highly appreciated.

Maybe you could write a custom issue picker?

Would it be possible to sync the field with an issue link or does it store the data in the separate custom field itself? They have an example how to lookup an issue ("Require a link to another JIRA issue where they can only pick from a constrained list"), but provide no information what happens to the looked up issue. How is the link stored/reflected in the issue data?

ScriptRunner may be very powerful, but looks like a steep learning curve to me.

I think it just stores the key as a string.

From there, Jira always picks up issue keys, stored as strings and creates a hyperlink.

Regarding issue link data, I'm afraid this won't work.

We are struggling with same problem. Used Easy Links before to link servicedesk issues with service and customer unit.

We also have scriptrunner but we have not figured out how to create proper issue link with that,. All help appreciated

The add-in is only officially supported through Server 8.9.1 and not on Data Center.
