Are users from my company still able to "link issues (work items)"?

[Roberts III_David]

Before the Atlassian migration to the cloud we were able to perform this feature but I don't see that option anymore.

According the support link below it appears we should be able to perform this function but I'm un-sure if this article is still relevant after the migration to the cloud.

I'm also unsure if this feature is offered by Atlassian but not enabled or adopted by my comapny. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!

Hi David - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, you can do it in Cloud. See if there is a + button underneath the Summary/Title on the left side. If so, click on it - the Link issues function might be a little hidden. If you still can't find it, please post a screenshot of what you see on the issue screen.

Hi @Roberts III_David 

Welcome to community!

Yes, issue linking is available in cloud as well. 

If your users are not able to link, i would recommend you to check whether the issue (work item) linking is disabled in your site ( https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-issue-linking/ ) and whether the project permission scheme restricts these users from the 'issue link' permissions ( https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/overview-of-jira-cloud-permissions/ )
