Project Shortcuts New Tab Open

[Koosha Azartash]

Every time I create a new shortcut in Project Shortcuts and I click on the link, a new tab opens for that shortcut link. Is there any way to prevent excess tabs from opening? Like to change the settings so that the link opens in the current window/tab and doesn't open any excess tabs? 

Thanks you.

hi Marco,

we have had the same issue where we shift a lot of issues between projects and as such loose the issue key that is shown in JIRA.

What we have done, and what is your best bet, is to develop a custom script that axtracts the issueID fromt he issue with script-runner and assign the result to a custom field and use this as your reference.

but can I also view on the summary of the issue??

Look at the issue as normal. The only thing that has changed is the key of it, and Jacques has explained a very good way to show the old, pre-move key. The rest of the issue is untouched by a move.

You can use ScriptRunner, create a Scripted Field as suggested by Jacques. The script is very easy

issue.id

Select both number templates if asked.

The scripted custom field could be displayed in the issue navigator and on the view issue screen. Not on the same position as the key, but on the same screen.
