How to add alies to an URL type customfield

Erdős Zoltán

I have a URL typed customfield, and I have a very long URL, so I want to add an alias to it.

I cannot change the renderer for URL type customfield so, I created a Text Field and I changed the Renderer to Wiki Style Renderer.

The format that I tried: [LINK|https://someurl.com] but it isn't working that I expected.

I want to see in my customfield just a LINK label, which is a hyperlink, but I cannot manage to solve this problem with a text field and with an URL field too.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Erdős Zoltán

Use markdown instead not Wiki style on the new issue view.

[LINK](https://someurl.com)

It doesn't work neither.
I tried with an extra space between it, but not helped.

The link is not working too in this case.

Hi @Erdős Zoltán

It seems markdown doesn't work on Text Field (single line), you have to use multi-line Text Field for it to work and ensure you add the custom field on the context field of your issue layout. E.g below is an example I did, with Custom field "Test Multiline"

There is bug in our cloud jira I think:

I just did what you recommended, and I typed both of the format solution into a multine text field:

When I press F5 in Chrome browser, it appers correctly in the second solution in multiline text customfield, but at the moment, that the page fully loaded, the formatting is gone again. Very strange, but I tested again and again.

So it is working for 1 sec, until the page fully loaded.

Hi @Erdős Zoltán

please disregard my previous message. It turned out the field was not set to "Wiki Style Renderer" which, of course, you stated in your instance it is.

In the last step of changing the renderer there is a warning message which I almost missed to confirm.

That leads to the assumption the Renderer for the field you are using is not set correctly - the behaviour one encounters when this is the case is exactly the same that I had in my Cloud instance.

Could you please double check and confirm? If this does not help could you please assist with a couple of screenhots?

Here the exact format that was used:

Many thanks for your patience!

Dear Daniel,

Thank you for helping me.

I triple checked it, and I use MultiLine Text field with Wiki Style Renderer, as the screenshot prove it.

Still works for 1 second, and after that, it will be plain text again.

Two things I found out:
1.) it seems to make a difference if the link is type in (character by character, a human per keyboard) OR if copy&pasted in.
By typing in I had a success.

2.) It seems to work more reliable when put to "Context fields" (the part on the right hand)

I put it into context fields, the result is same. It works only for 1 sec.
