      Problem Definition

      When searching for issues in Jira in the issue navigator, it is possible to see at a column that indicates this issue is linked to another issue and see that issuekey. However the issue navigator is not currently able to show the end users what kind of link this is. This is important information to have in the context of understanding how issues relate to each other in Jira.

      Suggested Solution

      It would be great if the issue navigator could add an additional column that could then show end users not only the link issuekey, but also the link type that this other issue has with the issue in question in Jira. Taking into account that Jira issues can have multiple linked issues of various types.

      Why this is important

      Transparency in data, ease of use, helping users more quickly and easily understand how issues relate to each other in Jira

      Original Request

      Currently users can configure the Issue Navigator to show a column for linked issues, but they can only see the issue keys of these linked issues.

      It's great if users can also see the link type of the linked issues in Issue Navigator.

            Various link types in "Columns" can be used on various customer requirements, so it is definitely required asap.

            This functionality is crucial and would greatly improves the utility of Jira Dashboards.  Would like to show Jira issues and their dependencies.  We need to see the link type to see what linked issues represent dependencies. Without this the product has much less value than it would otherwise. Request this functionality be available for server versions as well as cloud via a patch.

            Voting for this one. We need the ability to show dependencies in Confluence or Dashboards that reflect the reason the issue is linked (blocks, blocked by)

            YES - I need this functionality! I have a query for bugs, and I'd really like to know which of those bugs are blocking another issue so I could put those bugs at the top of the list during my bug triage meeting. At this point, all I can do is see that they're LINKED to another issue - not whether that link type is BLOCKS.

            Hello,

            Up on this thread : it would be very usefull for us to have this feature, because link between projects can be easily identified that way.
