How to add dynamic URL containing {issue.id} in a custom field in JIRA DC?

Question

Hi All,

I want to add a dynamic URL : "https://<jira-instance>.com/secure/EditIssue!default.jspa?id={issue.id}" in a custom field.

When a user clicks on the Create button present on Create Issue screen after filling the necessary fields, the above Edit Issue link should automatically fetch the {issue.id} and the updated link should save in a custom field.

Then user should see that dynamic hyperlink in a custom field in HTML format like "To Edit Issue, Click here".

Please guide on how we can configure it using Automation/ Post Functions/ Behaviour using scriptrunner/ JMWE?

And please provide screenshots for reference, it will be a great help to fulfil this use-case.

Thank you

@Digvijay Singh Gehlot How is it showing on View screen ? Or field is not visible on View screen ? Is it simple text not showing as hyperlink ?

Hi @Vikrant Yadav I tried with Multi-line text field by enabling Wiki style rendering, but the dynamic url with {issue.id} is not displaying as "Click here" on Edit/ View Issue screen. My use-case is, 1) I want that my Sales representatives directly see their Dashboard only when they login 2) Create issue by clicking on Create Issue Link (using direct HTML link i.e. /secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=&issuetype=) 3) When they hit the Create button on that link, they are redirected to Dashboard again. 4) Once issue is created, they can see Edit Issue Link (dynamic url with {issue.id}) present on Dashboard, restricting them to access/ bypass the View Issue screen. Please guide further how can I achieve this as per the given workflow or at least show them the Edit Issue (dynamic link) on the Dashboard. Thank you

Hi @Digvijay Singh Gehlot

In URL you can't add Wiki Markup.

You need to use Multi-line text field in which Wiki style rendering should be enabled, then you only it works like button.

Edit option available in Jira, why need to Custom field with Edit link?
