Add a 'linked confluence page' to the issue creation dialog in Jira?
Asked by Tim_Brigham:

I'm running Jira 5.0.x and Conflunce 4.1.x. We do have plans to upgrade in the near future.

Is it possible to add a text box with for a link the same way that more actions -\> link -\> confluence page to the issue creation dialog? We have a couple projects in Jira which have a large number of Confluence pages backing up additional documentation. It would be extremely convenient to paste the link in without having to open a second screen.

In case you weren't already aware of it, you might consider utilizing [Remote Issue Linking in JIRA](http://blogs.atlassian.com/2012/02/link-jira-issues-to-confluence-pages-automatically/). This would allow you to search for and create a link from the JIRA issue to a Confluence page (from the 'View Issue' screen). Any issue mentioned on a Confluence page using the [JIRA Issues Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/JIRA+Issues+Macro) will also create a link in JIRA to that Confluence page. Note that you'll first need to configure fully reciprocal AppLinks between your Connie and JIRA sites - see [Configuring issue linking for external applications](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Issue+Linking#ConfiguringIssueLinking-configuringapplink).

body: I'm aware of the remote issue linking function. We're already using that functionality in several locations on the Confluence side. Very handy but not what I"m after.

What I'm wanting is a way to use ad hoc links (based on the language on the page you linked to) to specific Confluence pages \*within the issue creation dialog\* in Jira. Any way to do so? I haven't seen a function like that on my 5.2 or 6.0 EAP testing.

body: Jason,I've used the Remote Issue Linking to link requirements in Confluence to JIRA issues and epics. Now I want to search and filter all issues related to a particular requirement in JIRA. Is there a way to search for links of Confluence?

I would raise this as a new feature request. This might be something a lot of users are looking for.
