Plugin Overview
The Herzum Quick Linker Add-on is a powerful JIRA add-on that gives you the ability to quickly create & link issues together, but also creates a configurable mechanism of synchronization between specific fields. Quick Linker is designed to allow you to create an issue from within an existing issue and automatically link the 2 issues together. Quick Linker has the ability to create issues within the same JIRA instance and project or across different JIRA instances and projects – defined by you within Quick Linker's robust administration panel.
The Quick Linker add-on provides the following key features:
- A user friendly configuration panel that allows you to define the mapping you needs between issue types
- Create and link issues automatically
- Links across different JIRA instances
- Links in the same JIRA instance
- Links through different projects
- Links in the same project
