is there a simple way to copy the issue key and summary in the form of

KEY - SUMMARY

because I need this to put into my git commit comments

Hello Thomas,

I see this question is tagged as JIRA Cloud. 

If you are using Google Chrome to manage your JIRA Cloud application, you can use the JIRA ShortCut Extension to properly copy your issue fields to Clipboard.

If you are using JIRA Server, you can use the following free plugin to achieve your need:

- Copy to Clipboard

Let me know if one of the options above helped you.

Copy to Clipboard looks good, but I can't install it on my JIRA 8.8.x Server version as add-on is compatible with JIRA 8.6.x.

Any suggestions?

Done

A bit too late to the party but I believe the issue is still current. If you don't want to add another plugin, you can use a browser extension like Better Issue Link for JIRA.

It allows you not only to copy links and names at once but also to customise the output of copied links in the format you want for both HTML and Markdown. So it's great when copying links to Slack as it will use the HTML template and if you use it on GitHub it will use the markdown version.

Hi @Thomas Einwaller --- I've also wanted a simple way to copy an Issue ID + title with minimal fuss to my clipboard. It's particularly helpful for adding Jira information to git commits.

I created a Jira Cloud app that allows you to copy a Jira Issue key and title to your clipboard by clicking a button that appears on the issue view. The app also allows you to define a custom template so you can add more Issue data and personalize the copied text (including optionally enabling/disabling an embedded link back to the Issue).

Here's a screenshot showing how the app renders on an Issue view and the button you click to copy the Issue Key + title:



For your use case, you could define an additional custom button that would format the copied text exactly how you want for a git commit (probably by disabling the embedded link back to the issue).

The app is called Copy Issue Link and you can find it here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1225783
