Single line custom field with alias link

Question

Dear Atlassian Community,

I need a single field, where I can add very longs links, but the are displays as an alias.

Example: My failed google search

I can do this with multi-line, but this takes to much vertical space. Is it possible (maybe with scripts) to archive this single-lined?

Thanks,

Alexander

In that case I can also use 2 field, one with the full link, one with the short, and script the short one to be the short version of the long. But feels strange to me that Jira isn't able to handling such simple request :(

The only way I can think of to do it in scriptrunner is a scripted custom field, but I don't believe they are available to cloud users.

Maybe using automation but I can't find anything.

Honestly the best option is to deal with the vertical space on the paragraph field.

Hi Tim,

the URL field only support URLs, I wasn't able to use an alias / short there. Our URL are really long and I just wanna display Release Version (10 digits).

But thanks for trying, maybe with Scriptrunner?
