Starting from version 2.5.0, TeamCity Integration for Jira add-on supports two ways of creating application links. You can use either of these ways, as they both create the same entity of application link in Jira.

The main difference between them is the method of creating application links. 

All the existing application links created in Jira will continue working as prior to update. For creating new application links to TeamCity servers you can use a new mechanism that is a bit quicker and simpler.

All the registered application links to TeamCity servers are displayed in both sections. You can add or edit application links in the Application Links section of Jira or in the add-on specific section 'TeamCity Servers'. The mechanism of management is interchangeable and substitutable.
