JIRA snippet into Confluence, without hyperlinks

[Deleted user]

I have a specific JIRA filter I'd like to share with my Confluence users, but I don't want any hyperlinks (the key and the issue type are hyperlinks by default).

It's not a security issue, as if they'll click on them they won't get anything, but I don't think it's very UX-friendly to show non-working links to the users.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? 

Thanks!

Hi Shira,

For an Regular URL on the confluence page while editing the content click the hyper link and Select Unlink:

If its a JIRA Issue Key or Filter Result URL Confluence will attempt to Do a Markup on the URL as covered in This Article and convert to an issue link or filter results macro, to Bypass this conversion you can either place the URL in a {Noformat} or {code} block macro.

OR if you would like to fully disable Auto-convert  site wide, please refer to the following article, noting this disables all auto-conversion options as an all or nothing approach:

Thank you Earl!

My issue is specifically with the JIRA snippet - I don't think I have a way to add {Noformat} to a snippet, right?

Hi @Earl McCutcheon, I attempted the first solution, and ended up with this:

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Thanks for the clarification I misinterpreted your initial question, the noformat option and unlink would only work for a direct URL placed in a page, and would not work for the issue links in a jira issue macro, and the issue key links cannot be removed from the macro using the Key field.

However check out this previous post that gives a good workaround for this, using a custom field to display the key in a noformat wrapper instead of using the direct key field in the issue macro:
