There is a Linked Issues section that shows up in the View screen but only if an internal issue is linked. We often link issues to others that are in an external system. To do this, we click a plus sign by that Linked Issues section in the View Screen and it gives us the option of adding a Web Link. This is not an option when creating or editing an issue where the issue selector only allows you to select existing JIRA issues.
The current workaround is to link an internal JIRA issue at random so the section shows up, add the web link, and then unlink the randomly linked internal issue.
How can we get the Linked Issues section to show permanently so we don't have that odd step in the middle of linking some random internal issue to get it to show up?
