Is there a way to prepare a link that would prepopulate the Project and Issue Type?

Looking for a way to create a link that would automatically bring the user to a create screen with the project and issue type already selected.

Hi Donna,

From within Excel it would look something like this:

=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("https://YOURDOMAIN.atlassian.net/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=17611&issuetype=3

Obvously, you would put in your domain. And PID would be the ID of the project and 3 in this case is the ID of the issue type. 

To find the Issue Type id, I go to Settings > Issues and search for the issue type. 

Then do an Edit for that Issue type. In the URL address will be the ID. 

For the project, I go to the list of projects and search just for that project. Then do an Inspect in the browser and search for project_id

There may be easier ways to find those - like with the API, but those work for me. :-)

For Project ID: 
Gear > Projects > Select your project > Actions > Project Variables > look at URL

Hi @Donna Macauley 

Try this url.

http://JIRAURL/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10002&issuetype=10102

Of course replace the pid and issue type id.

Hi,

Ravi answer works well. You can also prefile customfiled also by using ID.
