Can we turn off this feature?

[Deleted user]

Jira is replacing URLs with a tag. It is hiding the URL text and instead using a couple of words from the SEO (or something). It is drastically hindering my workflow. We have eight locales we work with, and I need to know out of a list of eight links, which one to click by seeing the locale in the URL. This is NOT AN IMPROVEMENT. I need to be able to turn this off. Can this be turned off? 

Here is an example showing two links WHICH ARE NOW OBSCURED: 

Do you see how I can't tell these links apart now? Please let me know if this is an option that can be turned off. Thank you.

I came across a similar discussion here in Community some days back - so in case you are interested in a follow-up be sure to check also this thread:
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Is-there-a-way-to-disable-inline-links/qaq-p/1673119

Linked is a Suggestion (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-72429) which is referred to by as "Option to Disable Smart Links For Non-Atlassian Products in ADF editor".

It might make sense to put this onto watch-list also.

Hello, I came here to ask the same thing.  This new functionality may be great for some users, but for me it's going to add a lot of clicks because I need to show the actual URL every time. 

There is never a time I would want what is now the default behavior, which obscures the URL and instead displays the site name (which given that all the links are from the same site, is exactly the same thing over and over.)

I created a suggestion to allow users to select the default behavior for this functionality:   https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21494

Hi Meredith - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you click on the link, there will be a drop down where you can select Show URL or something to that affect. It's too bad that's not the default.
