      Atlassian Update – 3 September 2019

      Hi everyone,

      We've added the ability to open external links in a new tab in your browser and made this option default. However, if you like all links to open in the same tab, you can easily change this in YourUserProfile > Profile > Preferences > External links.

      The functionality will be available starting with Jira 8.4.

      Thank you for voting and commenting on this suggestion.

      Some users need to have external links in Description / Comments to open in new browser window.
      Looks like this should be per-user configurable.

      Workaround
      Use the middle-click on your mouse if you have a three-button mouse, ctrl-click on Windows/Unix, or cmd-click on Mac.

            I can see that the suggestion was delivered in Jira 8.4.0, however the issue status wasn't updated to reflect that, so I'm changing the status now.

            It's a little sad that all these years later this still has not been resolved. If a simple thing like this is a problem to solve I can't imagine how long it would take to solve a request that is big.

            Not sure why Atlassian goes against its users wishes on such a simple request.

            So many people (more than 500!!!) asking for the same thing, on a closed ticket: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-9380

            If you care about this issue, please vote for all of these open related tickets. We all want it. It's maddening that Atlassian has not addressed this.
