If you have set up entity links to more than one of the same type of entity, e.g. you have linked your Confluence space to two JIRA projects, 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 Confluence space that is linked to two JIRA projects, you can nominate an entity link to one of the JIRA projects as the primary link. Every time Confluence requests JIRA information (e.g. for the 'Insert JIRA Issue' dialogue box), it will request it from the primary link's JIRA project. Note, both JIRA projects can still request information from the Confluence space (e.g. a Confluence page gadget on the dashboards of each JIRA instance).

Making an Entity Link the Primary Link

To make an entity link the primary link:

  1. Log into Confluence as a Confluence administrator and navigate to the administration page for the space. See Administering Spaces for details.
  2. Click the 'Make Primary' link in the 'Action' column for the entity link that you want to make the primary link. A symbol will display in the 'Primary' column next to the entity link.
    The 'Primary' column and 'Make Primary' link will only display if you have set up entity links to more than one of the same type of entity, e.g. you have linked your entity to two JIRA projects.
