Documentation for JIRA 4.3. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

If you have set up entity links to more than one of the same type of entity, e.g. you have linked your JIRA project to two Confluence spaces, then one of the entities will be marked as the 'Primary' link. This means that any outgoing requests will be directed to the primary link's entity.

For example, if you have a JIRA project that is linked to two Confluence spaces, you can nominate an entity link to one of the Confluence spaces as the primary link. Every time JIRA requests Confluence information, it will request it from the primary link's Confluence space. Note, both Confluence space can still request information from the JIRA project.

To make an entity link the primary link:

  1. Log in to JIRA as a JIRA administrator or project administrator and navigate to the administration page for the project. See Defining a Project for details.
  2. On the the 'Projects' page, choose the JIRA project that you want to link to another entity.
  3. On the project's configuration page, locate the 'Application Links' section and click 'Configure Application Links'.
  4. Click the 'Make Primary' link in the 'Action' column for the project link that you want to make the primary link. A symbol will display in the 'Primary' column next to the link.
    Note: The 'Primary' column and 'Make Primary' link will appear only if you have set up multiple project links to the same application, for example you have linked a Confluence space to a number of JIRA projects.
