Struggling to pre-populate linked issue when creating an issue using "direct HTML link"

[Mike Williams]

Is there a way to quickly create a related issue for an existing issue, via a direct link?

I am following advice regarding How to create issues using direct HTML links in Jira Server. I want to pre-populate

• project ID
• issue type
• a related issue

Using the following URL:

https://jira.myco.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=27020&issuetype=3&issuelinks-linktype=relates+to&issuelinks-issues=ALERT-5678

the project, issue type, and link-type pre-populate successfully, but the "issuelinks" fields remain unset, e.g.

Not quite answered there but worth seeing if it gets you a little further.
