Issue URL Barcode/QR Code

Issue URL Barcode/QR Code

Overview

The Issue URL Barcode/QR Code custom field generates a scannable barcode from each issue's unique URL. This barcode can be printed and affixed to physical objects to provide instant access to the corresponding Jira issue via any scanner.

By default, this field automatically generates a QR Code (2D) for each issue. If you prefer, you can change this setting to the one-dimensional (1D) Code 128 from the field's configuration page.

NOTES

Text length directly affects a barcode's scannability. To ensure reliability with longer text, we recommend choosing the QR code option.

Code 128 only supports ASCII characters. If the text contains non-ASCII characters (e.g., ş, ğ, ö), a barcode cannot be generated with this option. In this case, you must select the QR code option, as it supports all character sets.
