How do we check for duplicates during issue creation?

[Lars Böhnke]

I am looking for a feature that this community already has: duplicate issue detection during issue creation. Does anyone know how to enable it? I couldn't find anything.

Jira does not have such a feature out-of-the-box when creating new work items. There apps in the Marketplace that can detect duplicate/similar items after they have been created, or you can create an automation that can detect similar issues.

The feature you see here on the Community is specific to the platform that is used, it is not Jira based.

Really? Jira does not have such a standard feature? Interesting. Maybe Linear is indeed a better fit.

Thanks.
