Display Jira links to include the work item key

XMLWordPrintable

      Current behavior:
      When a Jira issue URL is posted in Slack, the Jira Cloud for Slack integration now displays the link as [Work type icon] [Summary] (e.g. 🟢 Fix login bug). The issue key is no longer visible in the link text.

      Previous behavior:
      Jira issue links in Slack previously displayed as [Issue key] [Summary] (e.g. PROJECT-123 Fix login bug), making the key immediately visible without needing to expand the unfurl or hover over the link.

      Customer impact:

      • Teams that reference issues by key (e.g. "Let's discuss PROJECT-123 in standup") lose the at-a-glance association between the link and the issue key
      • In channels with high issue volume, distinguishing between links becomes harder when only summaries are shown — summaries can be long, similar, or truncated
      • Copy-pasting the link text no longer gives users the issue key, adding extra steps to their workflow

      Customer request:
      Provide an option to configure the Jira link display format in Slack, allowing users to choose between:

      1. [Work type icon] [Summary] (current default)
      1. [Issue key] [Summary] (previous format)
      1. [Issue key] only

      This could be exposed as a workspace-level or channel-level setting within the Jira Cloud for Slack app configuration.
