Automation link confluence page to jira issue

Question

Good day.

I have a wish from our colleague. He wants that jira can automatically link confluence page from custom URL field.

Is it possible?

I tried to find some information from google, but I gave up.

We have ScriptRunner, but how to do that there - good question.

jira server 8.13

You could write a script that picks up the value from the field that contains the URL and then create a real issue link using that URL.

There is a custom url field in the project screens: 123_confluence

Is it possible to make an automatic link based on this data in custom field?

Hi @andrey.butuzov

First thing I would do is figure out with your colleague what the problem is, that he's trying to resolve.

There is built in functionality available to link to confluence and you could automate confluence page creation using parts of a script like this one: https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/create-a-confluence-page-for-each-subtask-of-an-issue

Yet the question remains, what problem needs to be solved here?

Best,
