Automation - copy web links

[Tomislav Tobijas]

This question is related to Jira in general, but I was wondering is it possible to copy web links (external) on the issue into another issue by using Automation for Jira?

I was digging through the JSON code behind the issue but I can't seem to find the field and values for external web links.

Hi Tomislav,

I'm not sure if I'm getting you write. I guess this should be possible. But you may need to provide some more information.
As of now, I would say that something like this should work:

Hello Kai,

I'm sorry if I maybe missed some information about what I am looking for here.

In the Edit issue action, I can only find Linked Issues field to set (show in the picture below).

However, what I would like to do is to copy web links to another issue by using Automation.

So my question is, can this be done via Automation?

Best regards,

Tom

I think those links are classic "remote links" which Automation unfortunately don't currently support https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-176

Cheers @Mark Chaimungkalanont!

We'll make a workaround until this is implemented.

Best regards,
