Info

The default Application Links interface has been replicated as part of the connector as the default interface is not accessible to all JIRA administrators.

Application Links can still be added through the default interface but this documentation will focus on the connector interface.

For details on adding application links through the default interface see: Linking to Another Application

Info

Alternatively, you may also go to the Connection Configuration Interface and edit an existing connection.

Click on Manage Application Links link to display the Application Links interface.
