Warning

If no issues are linked to your request, the Issue Links section doesn’t appear in Request Details View on the Customer Portal.

Note

If the user doesn’t have sufficient permissions to display the issue which has been linked to your request, they still see the fields that have been set in the Add Issue Links configuration. However, the issue’s redirecting link displays as inactive so the user can’t open it in Issue View.
