How can I pass down confluence link during task creation in JIRA

Question

I have a JIRA issue that is linked to a confluence page. When I run my automation, I want to pass down that confluence page to the new task I create. Is this possible?

Is it possible to get the URL of the confluence page that is attached to the issue without having to manually add URL in another custom field?

If this is not, are there work around like using workflow?

Hey Garret,

Currently, there is no comfortable way. Please take a look at this article.

Hello @Garret Zhang

What your Automation does exactly? Only pass the Confluence link whenever a task is created? Is the new task a clone of the source issue?

Hi Garret
it's been a while since you posted this and I just saw it by incidence. Maybe you don't need the answer anymore - but someone else might be looking for it as well :-)

I also was looking for this as the URL in the task needed to be copied and pasted into a new browser window when I had the placeholder in the summary of the task.

I then placed the placeholder within the Description of the Task (green in the picture below), then it is shown as clickable link. You need to open the task though to be able to see and click it.
