Advanced Links

Advanced Links is a powerful enhancement to the standard Jira linking functionality, designed to significantly improve issue management. This feature enables users to link Jira issues with advanced capabilities that go beyond the default linking options.

With Advanced Links, users can view any field of a linked issue directly from the parent issue view. It allows inline editing of custom fields and provides permission controls to manage access to linked issues. This feature also extends its advanced linking capabilities to the Customer Portal, ensuring a seamless and consistent experience across all platforms.

In the cloud version, Advanced Links saves values in issue properties and renders them in the issue view using a custom UI panel, similar to a custom field. Despite the technical differences, the logic follows the same format and principles as Jira's default linking functionality, ensuring users can adopt it easily.

By leveraging Advanced Links, users can enhance their issue tracking and management processes, making it an invaluable tool for those managing assets and IT services in Jira.
