New! You can now edit the summary field from Smart Link list view

[#1]

Smart Link list view is a feature available in Confluence and Jira that allows you to insert a list of items from various sources into any editor surface in Atlassian products. You can do this by pasting a URL of search results or using available Smart Link list view tools. The feature does not store data, but instead syncs displayed information from the source link.

How to use Smart Link list view to display work items as a list in editor surfaces

We’re adding functionality that lets you edit the summary straight from the Smart Link without having to leave the context of the page you’re in. The summary field will then automatically get updated in Jira without any extra effort.

What fields are editable at the moment?

This first release will let you edit the Summary, and we’re looking at making this feature available for additional fields soon.

When can you expect this?

We're aiming to get this feature out to our users as soon as possible, with planned rollout starting September 2024.

Use Smart Link list view to display work items

Select the + menu in the toolbar, search for "Jira," and pick “Jira Issues”

Or, just type "/jira issues" directly in the editor and pick “Jira Issues”

You need the right permissions and field setup to edit the Summary

To edit the summary or any other field, you need to ensure:

• The issue is set up to be editable

• You have editing permissions in the Jira project

If you can’t edit the field, reach out to your Jira project admin, ask about the field setup, and send a permission request.

This is a nice addition,  thanks.

On the other hand it would be nice to have the option to block any edits in Smart Link list view since sometimes one may want to use it in a read only situation.

Great addition ! Thank you for the information.

[Andre Veringa]

Nice feature but is also possible to disable this?

Introducing a way to edit your Jira summary form Smart Link list view on top of this page requires additional permissions? Can't log in using my Atlassian Account. The same applies to my co-workers.
