Adding a Clickable Link to an Element Using Live Fields

Sometimes you would like to add a clickable link to an element to the Jira UI such as a Power Actions button. This guide shows you how.

Instructions

1. In the Live Fields main script. lfInstantHook() runs "clickableLink.js" when the page is loaded.

   lfInstantHook({}, "clickableLink.js");

2. In “clickableLink.js”. See this Knowledgebase article on copying the query selector.

   AJS.$(<query selector goes here>).click(function() { window.open(<desired url goes here>); return false; });

3. Here is a full example of the JavaScript:

   AJS.$("#customfield_10800-val").click(function() { window.open("http://localhost:8080/browse/EX-2"); return false; });
