How can I have a custom field display a URL from Aha and have that URL clickable

unknown

I created a custom field to display URLs from Aha - so this way if someone has to toggle back and forth between the two system they can simply click a link.

The URL displays but solely as static text, I want it to display as a clickable link. Any idea how I can adjust the custom field so it does this?

Many thanks,

Tony

Hi @[deleted] URL is always clickable. If you use URL custom field it would be great.

If you are using Team-Managed Project , then i suggest you to use "Short Text" field. Text field also allow you click on URL and site open on next page.

Please be sure url must contain domain like .com , .io ( for aha), .uk, .in etc...If you add domain JIRA automaticaly treat it as URL and open in new tab.

Thanks

Hi @[deleted],

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

I am assuming you are using Company Managed Project. If you use an URL Field then you can use valid URL to complete this custom field, please check this guide - https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/custom-fields-types-in-company-managed-projects-972327807.html.

I am sharing a screenshot for reference.

HI @Suvradip Paul

Thanks for the response. I had tried using the URL field before and the issue with using that is, the field is being dynamically populated from Aha into Jira - and I don't want the user to be able to type into or edit that field in any way.

Any other suggestions?

Hi @Vikrant Yadav it's actually a company managed project and I already have the custom fields as a short text. The URLs coming from a-ha are https://[companyname].aha.io/features/[AhaID] (what's in brackets are generated by aha)

Any suggestions?

Hi @[deleted] URL is fine. It should be clickable and open web page in new tab.

I have tested on Text Field ( sigle line) , it's working. JIRA detecting the URL.

If it's a multiline field , then it won't work. otherwise it works for Single Line text field and URL field.

Hello @vik

Is there a way to have "Link Text" and "Link" in a custom field?

We want the links in our Jira's since web links are not exportable or viewable in a filter.

My uses will have links from a SP Directory and the links will be long, we would like to display for example " Document 123" but the link can be the long (ugly) link.

Welcome!
