Update Cloud Confluence links to Jira after Jira migration

Evgeniy Makarov_26kqds

Hello!

We have Cloud Confluence instance and On-Premise Jira Software. We are about to migrate Jira Software to Jira Cloud.

The problem is that in Confluence we have many links to Jira issues just pasted as text or simple links. I know that there is Product Links feature that allow us to update Jira links within Jira Cloud after migration, but in doesn't update non-migrated Cloud Confluence instance.

Is there a way to update all, lets say, https://jira.on-prem.com links to https://jira.cloud.links ?

Thank you

Hello @Evgeniy Makarov ,

You can try to use 3-rd party solutions like ScriptRUnner (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215215/scriptrunner-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) or Confluence CLI (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/284/confluence-command-line-interface-cli?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) that already provide scripting capabilities to change links as page bodies parts.

Also, you can use REST API https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/ to

Get necessary pages by CQL or content/space endpoints
Get each page body
replace links
Save page body after changes

Thanks for the answer. I've ended up using Add-on named Space Content Manager to make simple find&replace procedure.

@Evgeniy Makarov I'm a co-founder of Easy Apps, we make Space Content Manager.

You have likely already realized that you need to use the 'Link manager' tab and not 'Find and replace' to edit links.

The technical reason is find and replace only changes the URL text, not the underlying URL.

Example:

Take http://www.adidas.com. If use find and replace to change ‘adidas’ to ‘nike’ the hyperlink displays as http://www.nike.com. But click or hover over on the URL and you will see that it still directs the users to adidas.com.

This is a limitation of Confluence. As users ourselves we know it is confusing.
