Can you define a new link type in Jira with a custom name?

I need to define a new link type with custom name for our PI Planning tool is it possible in Jira cloud?

Hi @Kendis Team ,

As a Jira administrator, you can activate issue linking to let your team create links between relevant issues across all Jira applications on your site

• Select the Jira icon > Jira settings > Issues.
• Click Issue Linking.
• Fill in the form below the existing issue links.
• You can edit the name, outward description, and inward description at any time.
• Click Add.

Hi @Kendis Team,

You can do it if you're a Jira admin:

1. Go to Jira Settings > Issues > Issue linking
2. Add a new link type

Hope this helps,
