YouTrack Server 2026.2 Help

Issue Navigation

An integration feature built into JetBrains IDEs is the ability to recognize issue ID patterns in change lists and commit messages. These patterns are recognized and transformed into direct links to issues in the tracker. When you specify an issue ID in the change list or commit message, the ID is set as a direct link to the issue in YouTrack.

This feature is supported in IntelliJ IDEA, PhpStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, WebStorm, AppCode, CLion, Rider, and MPS.

When pattern recognition is configured, issue IDs are displayed as links in your IDE.
