How to get linked issues field on create screen

[Vineela Durbha]

I am trying to add the field "Issue link" which appears on More-->link to create screen. I am adding the screenshot of the field I am looking for.

Can someone help me on how to add this as a field on jira create screen

Hi @Vineela Durbha 

You should edit the create screen to add the field "Linked Issue".

I think this documentation could help https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/defining-a-screen-938847288.html

Hi @Pedro Felgueiras 

So you mean I should create a new custom field named "Linked Issue" and then add it to create screen?

Can you brief on what you mean by "edit the create screen to add the field "Linked Issue"."

[Pedro Felgueiras]

You don't have to create any new field. 

On Jira, each project have an associated "Issue type screen scheme" that associate the issues types with the "Screen Scheme". The "Screen Scheme" states what "Screens" will be used on the different actions (Create, Edit, View). 

If you check what screen is used in the creation of the issue you can add the existing field called "Linked Issues" that will show it like you print screen. 

I hope it help.

But I don't have any field named "Linked Issues" . I am trying to use the field on link screen i.e, "This issue" which is shown in the screenshot

[Pedro Felgueiras]

The field "linked issues"  is created by default on jira 

Please take a look at this documentation to see if it will help https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/defining-a-screen-938847288.html#Definingascreen-configure
