Used to be able to include markdown link with the following notation. [Test|test.com]. This no longer works since they removed wiki rendering from fields.

I have been trying this on a Message(Edit) custom field, and this is what worked for me:

[http://jira.atlassian.com]
[Atlassian|http://atlassian.com]

as described in https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=links

Thank you so much, this is the format that also seems to work for adding URLs to automated comments in Jira.

Hello Nick,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

When creating a ticket, it will show the markup editor, but you can use [Test|test.com] that it will render correctly when viewing the ticket using the new UI.

If you need to add a link directly in the new UI, you can you [Test](test.com) which is the format for markdown.

If that's not the case, please let us know more details about where you need to add links, if possible send us a screenshot of where it's not rendering correctly.

Regards,
Angélica
