Add Jira Macro into Confluence Space

[Bre Hinders]

Hello.  I'm trying to get the Jira macro to insert an Entry Form into Confluence but I do not seem to have that macro available in my confluence space.  Can anyone tell me how I can get that?  The first picture is what I have when I search for Jira but the second picture is what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Hi @Bre Hinders 

The first picture is displaying the macros available in confluence using which you can display the jira ticket details in confluence page. 

The second picture is "Create" page functionality of the confluence. It is displaying different options/templates to create a page. You can list them inside a page by following below steps.

1. Search for "Create from Template" macro
2. Edit the macro and 'Custom Jira issue Entry form' in templates section. An example image is attached

Hi Rilwan,

This does not allow me to add the Macro "Custom JIRA Issue Entry Form" Like in the screenshot provided above.

"Custom JIRA Issue Entry Form" is not a macro. It is page template created by your admins.
Add macro "Create from Template" later edit it and in templates section select Custom JIRA Issue Entry Form

I don't have that loaded in my templates either.

Hi @Bre Hinders 👋

I would recommend reading the Confluence Support article on the Jira Issues Macro. Pulling a snippet from the article for you...

Add this macro to your page

To add the Jira macro to a page:

1. From the editor toolbar, choose Insert  > Other Macros.

2. Choose Jira from the Development category.

3. Enter a filter or search for a Jira issue.

4. Choose Insert. 

You can then publish your page to see the macro in action.

I hope this helps but if you have any other questions just ask away 😃

All the best,

Hi,

I don't think it's standard Confluence functionality, but some Confluence addon offers what you need. 

I don't know exactly what this addon is, but you can look at some options at  Marketplace Atlassian

Hi Pavel,

That was what I wondered as well.  I guess my next question would be how do I know which option to choose from the marketplace that would give me this functionality?  I have already looked at the other addon's but it doesn't give clear direction on if it includes the exact thing I'm looking for.
