Linking Confluence pages with brackets () in the title is not possible - JIRA Edited

[Tobias]

Hello everybody,

I have a problem linking a Confluence page in a Jira task. The problem only occurs when I want to link a page that has a bracket in the title. If I remove the bracket in the title of the page, I can also link it in the Jira task.

Maybe someone has had the same problem before and there is a setting so that you can also link pages with bracket () in the title.

Hey @Tobias , is your page searchable when you navigate to JIRA issue > More > Link > Confluence page > search for a page? Also, which versions are you in?

I'm on the latest version in both Jira and Confluence, and I was able to link the page to the issue. However, when I searched for the page, I was only able to find it using non-special characters. Have you tried that too?

If this is not the case, have a look at this jirakb. Perhaps, you might be falling under the reverse proxy situation.

• Link to a Confluence page with a special character is failing

There is also an open ticket with Atlassian around this:

• Jira unable to locate Confluence page if URL has special characters 

Cheers,

IL.
