Importing test case in JSON format with hyperllink dosen't work

[Chloé GABRIEL]

Hey there,

I'm Software test engineer working with Xray Jira tool. I'm creating test cases with URL inside step. After the import into a test case ticket, seems to not recognizing the text as a hyperlink text. Whether I put a <a> tag or write 'https://', the text isn't clickable. I have to edit the text to convert it as a link after the JSON import, which is not what I would like.

Am I missing something during the writing process?

Here are the example

JSON File

Thank you.
Cheers, C.G

Hi @Chloé GABRIEL 

regarding the following link it should work ba encapsulating in <a href…></a> tag:

did you try exactly this format? eg

<a href='www.test.com'>Test</a>

Hi  @Chloé GABRIEL 

holy moly that was a tricky one. Took me some time to then find an easy way to find out:

I added a test step with a link and then exported the steps to csv =D and then tested it to import with JSON --> worked.

the correct syntax is:

[<text_to_show>|<URL>]

eg:

[Atlassian|www.atlassian.com] 

results in:

Atlassian

Give it a shot and let me know if this solved your problem.
