Insert an external link

[Rob Boumans]

Hi

I want to add a field in every issue to contain a clickable link to an InfoPath document.

A normal link can be inserted and it works, a link to an InfoPath document appears as plain text, not a link.

It would be nice when the link is shown (and clickable) in reports as a short word like: "Document"

is there a way to do this in Ondemand JIRA?

Thanks

You've got a few options:

1. Enale the {html} macro in wiki text rendered fields like description
   https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/198044/turn-on-html-macro-in-jira-6-0
2. Make a scripted field with groovy (Script Runner) with html template and return the html for the link there
   1. The value can be obtained by another custom field
   2. The value can be obtained by an issue link

Hi Boris:

The link looks like:

formserver.aspx?XmlLocation=%2Fteam%2Finfra%5Fservices%2Fprocessen%2Fwijzigingsverzoeken%2FDocuments%2FCombi%20projecten%20%28standaard%2D%5F%20maatwerkaansluitingen%20uniformeren%2Exml&OpenIn=Browser&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fsites%2Eenexis%2Elocal%2Fteam%2Finfra%5Fservices%2Fprocessen%2Fwijzigingsverzoeken%2FDocuments%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx%3FInitialTabId%3DRibbon%252EDocument%26VisibilityContext%3DWSSTabPersistence%26GroupString%3D%253B%2523Engineering%253B%2523%26IsGroupRender%3DTRUE

I cannot put it in a LINK-custom field. The text is too long is the message.

When I put it in the comments field, the text is not recognised as a link

The only way to make it work is with: MORE-- link. Then the problem occurs that this link is not visible in reports and filters. That was the reason to look for a solution!

Thanks so far!

I hope it helps, but I was linking to SharePoint, and this how I have done it.

My understanding is the html macro cannot be enabled in OnDemand so both options won't work.

Hi Boris

new things to learn. Can this be done in the OnDemand Jira? I didn't know that.

Within 14 days I will try to find time to work on this a bit more.

Thanks so far!

The solution from point 2 can't be done in ondemand, but point 1 can I suspect.

Where do you want that link (in which field - description ?) and what does an Info Path link url looks like ?
