Hi @Mieke,

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

The Jira issues macro only shows what the viewing user is allowed to see in Jira, so if it works for colleagues but not you, the difference is almost always your permissions. Recreating API tokens will not affect this macro, since it uses your live Jira session rather than a token.

What happens if you open one of the linked issues directly in Jira?
Can you view them?

If you can no longer open those issues in Jira itself, that is your answer, and an admin needs to restore your access or group membership.

Cheers,
Martin
