Is there a way to copy existing linked confluence pages via automation rules?

Angie Adams

I'd like to be able to link content across related issues so that various team members can see relevant content without having to navigate to the parent, as the parent may be in a completely different project. I don't see a way to do this via Jira Automation. Has anyone figured out how to link existing pages?

Hi @Angie Adams ,

I don't think Jira Automation will be able to handle this, and I can't find any useful background events that Jira itself triggers. The "Issue Linked" event only seems to fire when an issue is linked and does not work with Confluence content (or any other content for that matter) being linked. As a result, I don't believe you will be able to do this automatically.

That said, I did find a feature request on Atlassian's public feature and bug reporting platform, here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AUTO-20

I would recommend logging in and voting on that feature, as that's how Atlassian prioritizes new features.

@Robert DaSilva thank you so much for the quick response. I didn't find anything either. Thanks for the link to the feature request. Heading over to vote now.

@Angie Adams I was looking through the REST API documentation as well, and can't seem to find anything that references URL based attachments.

The Link section requires Issue IDs for other Jira issues. The Attachments section requires uploading a file.

I'm honestly surprised that there doesn't seem to be any way to get URL based links out of Jira issues, at least that can be found easily.

Robert DaSilva_a432as

I'm not even seeing these URL links on the JSON version of the Jira issue, so these links must not be stored against the issue itself, but somewhere else in the Jira DB that I am unaware of.
