Hide one link type from issue link screen

Question

Hi Community,

as you can see here, this is necessary, but through various tickets I have not found an answer as to whether this is possible at all.

It is necessary to hide one specific issue link, it is certainly not visible in the selection list, but it was put by the automation when creating another ticket, and I want to hide it so that no one can delete it. Is something like this possible?

the solution doesn't matter how it was made, through properties or workflow as long as it works. Help please :)

Best regards

I could explain it like this: Through this link with the ticket, we filter the information from Jira and show it on another platform. In order for the data to be complete and true, it must not be changed even by the admin in that project. Through the vLink addon, I can hide that no one can set this connection method except automation for jira and our technical user, but the problem is that in the list of all connections, those with EDIT rights can delete it. That's my problem for which I need this solution, and just as written above, I need to hide a certain link completely and it seems like a logical setting, but it's obviously not like that. I found a solution through the vLink field, which I then put as read only through scriptrunner. Thanks for your help @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Let's turn the question around - think of your users!  Why do you want to stop them from using an issue link that could be useful to them?
