Hi,
Jira will not let me enter a valid URI into a Jira ticket. Can somebody please explain if this is possible please?
Thank you,
Paul
It's a non-standard uri, so it's unsupported, and not seen as a valid uri (https://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xhtml is a list of registered schemes)
Best you could do is use it plain text and install a browser extension that enables the browser to know what it means.
Hi, Nic.
Thank you. This is a shame as for Mac apps, a valid URI is one that has been registered with the OS.
The browser on OSX understands the URI, it's just Jira that will not let me use it.
Hi, @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
For work, we're using an older version of Jira and you can create a link using any valid URI (including omnifocus:///task/bnoQ1d1J-tP) on a Mac. So the new version not allowing this is, I think, a bug as it used to work.
How can I report this issue to Jira please?
Yes, later versions of Jira are a bit more sensitive on what is valid in urls and uris. Omnifocus isn't a registered scheme, so there's no reason to recognise it as "valid" - it is correctly formed as a uri, but not an accepted standard (yet?).
That kind of rules it out as a "bug" - the software is behaving as designed, and meets all the standards you'd care to apply.
But that doesn't mean it's good for us humans. I think Jira should go back to doing what it did before - "if a url passes a basic check that it's valid, don't worry about the non-standard details - leave that up to the browser and/or human who clicked on it". If we choose to put in non-standard stuff like mrflibble://says.time.to.die offer it up as a link (but maybe warn people the link isn't standard or recognise).
To ask for new stuff, use Atlassian's public tracker over at jira.atlassian.com - that url will make you jump through some hoops because Atlassian want to encourage you to check other places (like this community) first, but to bypass all but the login, try https://jira.atlassian.com/browse.
As someone who who has spent 30 years in product support and development though, I would encourage you to try a few searches in there before raising a new one, and if you do find a good match (or related stuff), hit the vote and/or comment first!
