How do I prevent Jira description and comment fields converting a full URL to only short hypertext?

Jane Winsor July 6, 2021

When I paste in a full URL into the Description or Comments field of Jira it converts the full URL to only a short hyperlink text.

I want to be able to read the entire full URL without hovering over it.

Example: pasting in this full URL https://subarudrive.com/articles/worlds-largest-roadside-kitsch

Jira converts it to 2 words Subaru Drive

Thank you so very much Suvradip!  We have been struggling for a few weeks with this issue.  Your solution worked perfectly.  It worked exactly as you described.  You have saved me so many headaches.  Thank you so much!

@Suvradip Paul 
Thank you for the input this helps a lot!
Do you happen to know if there is any way to set  "Display URL" as a default instead of "Display Inline"?

Hi @Asako Hosoe , I don't think this is implemented yet though I think there is Jira Card  - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21494, which I think you should check and vote for it so that it gathers more interest and implemented in future.

Please check and let me know if that helps.
