Underlining of Links

[Robert_Rosskopf]

In Confluence we can configure CSS by the Global Stylesheet. For CSS adjustments in Jira there are only (again) costly plugins. To follow common accessibility recommendations and also the actual demands of viewing impaired users we'd like to underline links as we do in Confluence.

Is there really no other way than paying? Again extra expenses for basic functions?

Hi @Robert_Rosskopf hope you're doing well!

Take a look at the Announcement Banner functionality. It allows you to insert CSS stylesheets or JavaScript code that applies Jira-wide.

However, be careful and test your changes in a test environment first, as they can potentially break the UI.

Hi Sergei,

thank You very much for suggesting this workaround. I should have mention that we already know about it and due to the possible UI problems we don't want to go this way. Though it is good having this idea documented in this thread. 👍🏼

Hi @Robert_Rosskopf

Let's give it a try! If you can provide some CSS examples you've implemented in Confluence or share more details about how you want the link to look, I can create something similar for Jira and send it to you. 🙂

Simply

a {text-decoration: underline;}

would do. 😉 Maybe we want to adjust the link color later on, too. The it'd be

a {
  text-decoration: underline;
  color: #0005ff;
}
a:visited {
  color: #003a9b;
}
