web link option is missing in new Issue View

Sam Newman m

In the new issue view I can't see how to do two things:

Add a link to a website.  In the old view adding a link had three options: JIRA issue, Confluence page, Weblink.  Now, I only have the JIRA Issue option, and all the links added to issue prior to the change are now hidden.  This second part is serious as we used those links to reference important pages. 

Auto link to an Issue.  When adding the key of an issue to a comment or description the text editor would convert it to a link to the issue automatically.  It no longer does this which is sad...

 

Is there a way to recover either of these in the new view?

 

Thanks,
