How to hyperlink to a different point in an issue description

[María López Carrasco]

With the lastest changes in Jira, they have changed the wiki markup for a new markdown in the text editor, as long as I could read in their documentation.

I could not find any information about hyperlinks and how to link a word from your descrption to another part in it.

Does anyone know how that can be done?

Hello María,

The way to add hyperlinks to JIRA issues has not changed, it should still work like this:

[link title|http://example.com]

If it's not working, can you confirm if you have configured the Wiki Style Renderer on your field?

[María López Carrasco]

Those links work perfectly, but it is not what i am trying to do. What I want to do is link words in the description to parts o the text in the same description.

What I want to do is for example make an index at the begingin of the description and link the words in that index to the section below. Something like:

Index.

1.Description (cliking on this will send you to the seccion: Description, below the index)

2.Flows (cliking on this will send you to the seccion: Flows, below the index)

Description

blahblahblah

Flows

blahblahblah

Hello María,

Thank you for your explanation.

You can use the {anchor:anchorname}To create a bookmark anchor inside the page.

You can then create links directly to that anchor. So the link [My Page#here] will link to wherever in "My Page" there is an {anchor:here} macro, and the link [#there] will link to wherever in the current page there is an {anchor:there} macro.

Thank you, but I have tried that and does not seem to work. That was the way to preceed with the wiki markup, but I could not make it work with the new changes.

I do not know if maybe I am missing something or if the feature has been removed. :(

Hello María,

The format mentioned is perfectly working for me.

That being said, I would like to know what's the version of your JIRA and an example of how you are using the mentioned format.

[María López Carrasco]

Well, you were totally rigth. My problem was that I was trying to create an ancor with more than one word. It seems to work perfectly using only on word.

Thank you so much.

[Petter Gonçalves]

You are welcome, María.

Have a nice week!
