Create new issue URLs

Link to a new issue creation page in Linear and prefill fields using query parameters.

Overview

The following links trigger the creation of a new Linear issue in any browser and you can add query parameters after any of them to pre-fill issue fields.

• http://linear.app/team/<team ID>/new
• http://linear.app/new
• http://linear.new

For example, you can assign new issues to a specific person, set an estimate, add labels, or combine multiple parameters with instructions in the description to create a template for a user to fill out.

Basics

Generate pre-filled link

From the app, type Cmd/Ctrl K then pre to bring up copy pre-filled create issue URL to clipboard to quickly create a URL. To view an example, click this link.

Supported fields

We support the following query parameters:

• title
• description
• status
• assignee
• estimate
• label
• labels (comma-separated)
• cycle
• project
• template

Set query parameters

Title and description will display the inputted text.

Use the display name or UUID identifier to set other parameters. For example, set a status with status=in+progress or status=<UUID identifier> and a cycle with cycle=8 or cycle=cycle+8.

Assignee is set with a user's full name as well as the display name or identifier.

Estimates can also be set by their point number e.g. estimate=4. T-shirt sizes have the following point values: - (0), XS (1), M (2), L (3), XL (4).

For templates, go to your team's templates (under team settings), hover over the template you want to use and then click the copy icon to copy the link.
