Creating custom link type between Confluence and Jira

[frida_ferencz]

Hi All,

I'm currently building out a platform between Jira and Confluence for Risk Management. Action items such as control gaps, risk events are tracked on Jira, and regulatory requirements, control frameworks etc are stored on Confluence.

There is a requirement to link between the two platforms ie a risk event could be breaching a regulation, or new framework could be the evidence that a control gap is closed. 

My question is can I customize link types between the two platforms, similarly to how I am able to create custom link types on Jira?

Eg. on Jira I can use existing link types like blocks, relates to or I could create new one eg. "evidenced by". However when linking Jiras to a Confluence page, there doesn't seem to be a way to select what the link type is (is defaults to "Wiki Page"

Has anyone figured out a way to customize these link types or is that not possible to do?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi @frida_ferencz,

Have you tried this add-on: Page Linker for Confluence

Sound like this could match your requirements and it is free.

Cheers,
