Deprecation of Epic Link & Parent Link alert - is this safe?

[Todd Ogin]

Howdy,

I saw this alert today!

It seems like it's a useful alert but it also seems suspicious

1. It's got a hyperlink to a non atlassian domain
2. The hyperlink isn't clickable

Is this expected and is this a safe link? I'm not familiar with servicerocket and don't think I've ever seen a link to that before.

I am seeing this alert on a standard issue page i.e. https://example.atlassian.net/browse/PROJ-XXX

Yes it appears safe (below is the context) It is simply a link to Service Rocket docs. I'm guessing that you have a service rocket add an application. Is that possible?

Atlassian is combining the older Epic link and newer Parent into a single entity.

This is a one-time message due to an important change that could impact a lot of customers using the connector. hence the message.

Cool - domain jumps on links that aren't actual urls can be a little scary so figured I'd double check. Understood this has to do with how our service is configured, makes sense that the connector would care about the API change. Thanks!
