Problem to solve

In our company we use GitLab and JIRA, with the JIRA integration plugin of Gitlab. We also use a number of acronyms that happen to look like JIRA issue keys (i.e. [A-Z]+-[0-9]+). GitLab converts them to broken links that point to 404 pages on our JIRA instance.

Intended users

Proposal

Include a blacklist (possibly regex) in the JIRA integration plugin of GitLab. Do a blacklist lookup whenever rendering a link back to JIRA to decide whether to produce a link or to render the text normally.
