Hi @Anusha Rutnam, thanks for creating this ticket. For the benefit of any other users browsing this, here are some additional notes:
What I would like to see in a slack message is an inline display of a smart link, the way it's done in Confluence, Please see this post in the Atlassian Community for screenshots, and hopefully, some discussion.
The way a smartlink to an issue is displayed in Confluence in "inline" mode has the following advantages over the current unfurling options:
- The link is inline in the text so the conversation is not disrupted
- The link is visually distinct within the text
- The link contains the relevant information about the issue in a single line with no boilerplate, i.e., Issue Type, Key, Summary, Status
-
- the action buttons included in the current issue preview in case you want to do something are very disruptive to the flow of conversation and are not really needed - if you need to perform an action on the issue, just click on the issue, or support right-clicking to see a pulldown menu of actions
- If there are several issues under discussion, you don't end up with the actual text of the discussion scrolled off the screen or generally buried in boilerplate
Thanks!
