Display rule link in the Security Hotspots page

[omoreno (Oscar Moreno)]

Hi!

When reviewing an issue, there is a “Why is this an issue?” link that navigates to the rule that raised that issue.

When reviewing a security hotspot, though, there is a description of the rule, but not a link to it. It would be very helpful, both for users and administrators, to have such a link, or the rule ID visible in the UI.

Best regards,

Hi,

To be clear, you’re asking for a link in Security Hotspots to the underlying rule? And if so, would you mind explaining your use case?

 
Thx,
Ann

Hi,

After some internal follow-up, I’ve been reminded that this is there in the latest versions. E.G.

I guess you’re on the LTS?

Hi Ann,

The rule description and the link in your screenshot is not shown in our SonarQube Enterprise Edition 8.9.8 LTS (for any review priority):

Hi Ann,
sorry for late response.

Yes, the suggested new feature would be the same than in the screenshot. And would be helpful in the LTS.

Do you know if there are plans to add this feature in the current LTS?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards.

Hi @bgelabert & @omoreno,

The promise of the LTS is stability. That means we fix serious bugs and vulnerabilities, but we don’t otherwise touch features. We will not be backporting these UI changes to the LTS.

 
HTH,
Ann
