[Dashboard] Rich Text - External Link with opening a new tab

Caleb Park_omkpsq

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use a "Rich Text" to make Quick Links on the dashboard.

But when I use "External Link" feature and insert a certain JIRA link, it does not open with a new tab.

It just opens in the Rich Text box on the dashboard as shown below:

 

Is there a specific syntax or method to make "opening link with a new tab"?

Hi, 

I think that overall ability to recognize a link was improved since it was always a problem https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-9380 however you case is that you are adding the top menu right? If so maybe using HTML and adding <a> with target parameter could help e.g. <a href="https://www.something_here.com" target="_blank">Visit External Link</a> ?
