How can I get a mentioned in when I set a Jira record in the description?

[Premduth Vidyanandan]

I am creating a JIra record MYREC-345 and in that record, I am listing other JIra records. For example I say this is also captured in MYREC-123 in the description of the record. Jira is able to understand MYREC-123 as it puts the hyperlink, although when I go to record MYREC-123 it does not show that it is mentioned in MYREC-345. The only way I can get to show this linkage is by explicitly putting a linkage. Is there not a way to have JIRA say in MYREC-123 that it is mentioned in MYREC-234? Similar to how it does that for Confluence pages?

Hi @Premduth Vidyanandan ,

This other post seems to cover a similar question: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/How-to-automatically-link-the-Jira-ticket-if-we-paste-Jira-link/qaq-p/1252935

Yes. Somehow missed that one!

No problem! :-)
