Splitting in Backlog - missing Link "Split to / Split from"

[Stefan Frey]

Hello Community!

When I split issues in Backlog of our Jira Software, the splitted issues don´t have the links "split to / split from".

There can I activate the linking of splitted issues?

Thanks!

Stefan

Hi @Stefan Frey,

Can you check if the link does exist in your Jira? You can find it in the administration menu > Issues > Issue linking:

Hope this helps,

Hello Manon!

Thanks for your reply.

"Issue split" in Issue Linking does exist.

But automatic linking of split issues doesn´t work.

Regards,

Stefan

Thanks for checking! You may not have permission to link issues in your project, can you add any other link? E.g., can you say issue A is blocked by issue B and issue B blocks issue A?

Also, do you see anything in the issue history when you split them? Could there be an automation rule removing issue links?

Hello Manon,

Similar to Stefan, I cannot split issues in a company-managed project.  Issue linking is enabled, and I do not have any issue security schemes in place.  Also, I am the owner/admin for the Jira instance, so I would not think there are any security settings blocking me.  However, I am new to this, so anything is possible.  Any other suggestions?

Cheers,
Cole.

I enabled the split issue under Settings (right top icon) Issues but still do not see the option on the context menu...
