# Flaky Tests: Linear Field Defaults and Link Existing Tickets

> Set per-repository defaults for auto-created Linear tickets, and link existing Linear tickets to a test without creating a duplicate.

**Two updates to the Linear ticketing integration: per-repository field defaults for auto-created tickets, and the ability to link an existing Linear ticket to a test without duplicating it.**

### Field defaults for auto-created Linear tickets

When you connect a Linear team in **Settings** → **Repositories** → **Ticketing Integration**, you can now set per-repository defaults that pre-populate every new ticket: Priority (Urgent / High / Medium / Low / No priority), Labels (team- or workspace-level), Estimate (matches your team's scale), Project (filtered to projects accessible by the selected team), and Assignee (chosen from team members). Defaults apply whenever you open the **Create Ticket** modal and can still be overridden before submitting. Switching teams clears and reloads the available options automatically.

### Link existing Linear tickets to a test

If you already have a Linear ticket tracking a flaky test, you can attach it without creating a duplicate. From the Test Details page, click **Link Ticket**, paste the Linear URL or ID, and submit. The ticket's title, status, and assignee sync back from Linear. You can also link tickets programmatically with the [Link a ticket to a test case API](/flaky-tests/reference/api-reference/link-a-ticket-to-a-test-case).
