Request is missing required query parameter 'openid.mode' when clicking on link to Jira from excel??

Question

Getting this error every time I click from my campaign management excel sheet all of the suddon. Request is missing required query parameter 'openid.mode'  Tried linking them again, but seems I can no longer click to a jira page directly from excel?  What gives.  Thank you for answering!  I need this :)

The Links are correct, I recreated them all.  Appears this is a known issue.  Just started for me after this last update, everything was working perfect before that.

Sounds like you have logged out of JIRA and then started clicking links back into it.  Try going to JIRA and re-logging-in.  Also, check the urls you have embedded in your sheet - there's a very good chance they're wrong.

Hi Ryan - Are your links to a JIRA Cloud site (as opposed to JIRA Server)?

it sounds like you might be seeing this reported bug, which you can watch for updates: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-65661

In partictular the comment from Marco.

There are a couple of similar(ish) questions on here which are worth looking at in case they help:

Edit: probably fairer for me to call this a 'reported' bug, rather than a 'known' bug, since at the time of writing the status of the issue is 'Needs Verification'.
