Showing a link (to create subtask) in a custom field

Pujan Ziaie

Hello,

for ease of use for our users (JIRA Cloud Core), I would like to provide a link on the issue for them to create certain subtasks, without having to go to the menu and select "create sub-task".

I can put this in the description field, but then I cannot use description for its main purpose:

[create new sub-task|https://[base-URL]/secure/CreateSubTaskIssue!default.jspa?parentIssueId=xxx&issuetype=10014]

How can I put a hyperlink (with html-tags like <a> or Wiki-notation) in a custom field (single or multi-line)? When I put the tags it is shown without rendering. Is there any way to make a custom field hyperlink-friendly as in Description?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Cheers

I would install the Jira Toolkit (Atlassian add-on, free) and use a "message field for view". You should be able to add links into a text area.

Thanks Nic!

Unfortunately it's not possible to use <script> in the default value of message field, at least not in the Cloud version. So the question remains: how to show a link to create sub-tasks, that is comprised of dynamic parts (issue id) and not just static text.

You should never use <script> tags anywhere in Jira. The message field does allow you to use plain html though.

Would you please give me an example on how to configure a Message Field for View that I can build this URL without using java script?

<a href="https://[base-URL]/secure/CreateSubTaskIssue!default.jspa?parentIssueId=$issue-id&issuetype=10014">Create Sub-task</a>

Where issue-id is the id of the current issue (where the field is shown). Thanks a lot!
