Issue Summary
As per Audit log event documentation quoted:
Category: Issue operations
| Coverage level | Events logged |
|---|---|
| Base | Issue link created, Issue link deleted |
| Advanced (additional events on top of Base) | CURRENTLY NO ADDITIONAL EVENTS AVAILABLE |
| Full (additional events on top of Base and Advanced) | CURRENTLY NO ADDITIONAL EVENTS AVAILABLE |
Jira audit log will show "Issue link created" and "Issue link deleted" when a user creates or delete an issue link. After testing further, the information events are not shown but instead, the category falls under Category: Issues:
Category: Issues
| Coverage level | Events logged |
|---|---|
| Base | NO EVENTS AVAILABLE |
| Advanced (additional events on top of Base) | Issue deleted, Issue archived, Issue restored, Issue attachment deleted, Comment of another user deleted, Sub-task deleted, Archived issues exported (8.12.0+), Issues exported (8.12.0+) |
| Full (additional events on top of Base and Advanced) | Issue created, Issue comment added, Issue link created, Issue link deleted |
The events only show "Issue link type created" and "Issue link type removed" when the Jira admin creates or deletes the issue linking type via Administration > Issues > Issue Linking:
This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes)
Expected Results
We should update the https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver0820/audit-log-events-in-jira-1095777593.html#AuditlogeventsinJira-Category:Issueoperations documentation that the event only shows "Issue link type created" and "Issue link type removed" event under "Category: Issue operations" instead of "Issue link created" and "Issue link deleted" to avoid any confusion.
Actual Results
The documentation currently is confusing for customers to read because they are looking for "Issue link created" and "Issue link deleted" events but the information can't be found when Global configuration and administration was set to Base via Audit log settings.
Workaround
To shows events "Issue link type created" and "Issue link type removed", user needs to set Global configuration and administration to Advanced via Audit log settings.
