      Hi everyone,

      According to the linked Knowledge Base article, direct HTML links functionality "is not maintained as a supported component of Jira applications". Because of this and also due to the minor severity of it, it is very low on our priority list and we will not fix it in the foreseeable future. That's why we've decided to resolve it as "Won't Fix".

      Although we're aware the issue is still important to those of you who were involved in the conversations around it, we want to be clear in managing your expectations regarding the likelihood of a fix for it anytime soon. The Jira team do their best to prioritise the issues that have high and critical impact with broad pervasiveness reflected in series of different factors. You can learn more about this by reading our Bug Fixing Policy.

      To see what the Jira team is currently working on and has recently delivered see the following dashboards:

      We understand that hearing a decision like this can be disappointing, but we hope you'll appreciate our transparent approach to product priorities and communications. We will continue to watch this issue for further updates, so please feel free to share any thoughts in the comments.

      Thank you,

      Issue Summary

      Setting issuelinks-issues parameter on direct HTML links doesn't map valid issue link on the issue creation screen, though issuelinks-issues itself looks like a right one as a parameter because it is trying to map the value to the expected field.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Install a vanilla Jira instance and create TEST project with admin user.
      2. Add an issue TEST-1
      3. Outside Jira, create a valid.html file in any directory and add following link
        valid link
        <a href="http://<base-url>/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10000&issuetype=10004&summary=test&reporter=admin&issuelinks-issues=TEST-1&issuelinks-linktype=duplicates">Test (valid link)</a>
      4. Also create an invalid.html file in any directory and add following link
        invalid link
        <a href="http://<base-url>/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10000&issuetype=10004&summary=test&reporter=admin&issuelinks-issues=TEST-99&issuelinks-linktype=duplicates">Test (invalid link)</a>

      Expected Results

      With valid link, issue link is properly mapped to TEST-1 on issue creation screen.
      With invalid link, issue link is not set with error.

      Actual Results

      With valid link, issue link is NOT mapped to TEST-1 on issue creation screen.

      With invalid link, issue link is not set with error.

      Workaround

      Just enter the issue link manually.
