Creating links using automation

[Rob Rushing]

I wish to create a custom field for my issues that automatically create a series of web links. I don't want to use the URL field as it displays the whole url as well as needing more than 1. I want the link to be displayed like - this link is google .

Ive tried a paragraph field that supports rich text but do not know how to write rich text with JSON. How would I go about doing this?

Hi @Rob Rushing,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Paragraph fields are using Wiki Renderer notation, so in order to create the link with an alias you would do it like this:

[Atlassian|https://www.atlassian.com]

That would give you a link like this Atlassian. You would also have to change the renderer used in the project. Go to Project setting > Fields and edit the field configuration. Look for your field and click on Renderer and select Wiki Style renderer.
