Hi Team, 

I've one custom dropdown field having some of an options. I want to add one option as a hyperlink which allows us to redirect to another page. 

Is it possible to add a new option as a hyprlink(clickable link) in dropdown option? 

Please let me know if it's feasible to do. Thank you in advance.

Narendra

I'm afraid not.  In older versions of Jira Server, you could actually put some html in as the "name" of an option and it would come out as a link when displayed, but that's not available on Cloud (or recent versions of Jira).

(I suspect because it's insecure, but don't quote me on that)

Sorry, but no, it's not:

I suspect you may have missed that it is a select-list field here.  Their options are not rendered as HTML, just plain text.

The question was about Cloud, not server (where you are strongly recommended never too use this function as it's a security hole)
