I want to remove "Link" option from 'More' dropdown available on Jira view screen

[mohammed aamer khan]

Hi their,

I am a DC Jira user and I want to hide 'Link' option from 'More' Dropdown which is present on view/edit screen. The reason behind is to restrict user to link issues from more section.

Users should link issues from Edit screen only which also means users should not be able to add(+) links from "Issue Links" Section which appears on View screen.

I also want to limit the links users can select on Edit Screen.

Thanks 

Aamer

I achieved my requirement from Script Fragments. PFA

You would need to hack the code in the linking module to remove the entry from the menu.

I am curious as to why you think this would be a good idea?  What problem are you trying to solve?   Who cares how a user gets to the "add a link" function?  Why make it more difficult by forcing them into the edit screen that they don't need to use to do the linking?

Limiting the link type would also require code modifications (and probably doesn't have a lot of use either)

It is useful when issue links are restricted to particulars. Which we can achieve via behaviors focusing edit screen.
