Can Jira Issue Linking be setup to enable link between issues on another Jira instance via an associated Application Link ?

Hey Stephan,

Yes! The release of JIRA 5 included "remote issue links" which include the ability to link to other JIRA issues in other JIRA instances.

Please note that both JIRA instances have to be > 5.0

Does both instances need to be JIRA 5? Or can I link to an older installation?

[SimonS]

They would both have to be JIRA 5.

Jira 5 was released, can you please update the answer ans specify clearly the minimal version requirements, and other requirements if any. Thanks.

Does anyone know whether there is any upgrade function of "Application Link" in JIRA upper version from 5.1.3 (5.1.4, ...., 6.x onwards)?
