    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      In Confluence, Space Tools > Integrations, you are able to add a link to a Trusted Application's (JIRA) specific project. However, there doesn't seem to be any reason to for this feature as the additional integration features that this enabled (auto-linking) have since be deprecated from APPLINKS and were decided not to fix as the feature is provided by the jira issues macro.

      The applinks documentation clearly states that textual linking would be available once the space integration is created between applications.

      There is also much confusion in the community about what the Integrations feature is supposed to do:
      https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/131303/difference-between-application-link-and-linked-space-between-jira-and-confluence

      As there is no documentation referencing the features available from creating an Integration link in Confluence to another application, I suggest that we remove the feature or update the documentation so that the added feature set is clear to customers:

      https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/APPLINKS/Creating+Links+Between+Projects

      I've added some screenshots of the successful connection to JIRA with some text to show the lack of auto-linking and successful JIRA issues macro rendering.

            Hi,

            We are hiding it for years via the unsupported Menu Manager plugin but would love to see it removed from the UI!

            I would like to know what is the feature that is added by linking a space with a project? We have applicaiton links enabled and people can link form any space to any projects.

            I googled for hours in order to find what would be added by this, and still I wasn't able to find what does this feature do.

            My users are kind of freaking out at me because we just moved from on-demand to local, and all the links back to JIRA (which were all done the CONF-23693 way) went away.

            shaffenden agreed. I think this is also related to the project navigation dialog that never went beyond OD?

            I've added it to https://pug.jira.com/wiki/display/CONFDEV/Potential+Features+To+Kill+Backlog

            jmasson@atlassian.com, barconati Looks like we need to make some improvements around the integration pages. Something that we should put on the roadmap?
