Link rendering is a feature of the application links plugin that lets you create simple text shortcuts between 'entities' of Atlassian applications, such as [JRA-1234] for a issue in a JIRA project or [Test Page] for a page in a Confluence space, where 'projects' and 'spaces' are different types of Atlassian application entities.

Follow the instructions below to enable link rendering.

Enabling Link Rendering

Before you begin:

  • If you want to enable link rendering for JIRA, the wiki renderer in JIRA must be enabled. See Configuring Renderers for details.

To enable link rendering:

  1. Add a new application link for the two applications you are linking between, if you haven't already done so.
  2. Configure trusted apps or OAuth for both the incoming and outgoing authentication for your application link.
  3. Add two-way entity links for each of the entities that you want to link between. For example, if you set up an entity link between a JIRA project and a Confluence space, you will be able to use simple textual references to refer to issues in the JIRA project from the Confluence space (e.g. [JRA-1234]). You will also be able to use simple textual references to refer to pages in the Confluence space from the JIRA project, (e.g. [Test Page]).
