Formatting in Confluence of Jira Work Items

[David Kaczmarczyk]

Greetings,

I have created a Confluence page and have then inserted a section for 'Jira Work items' which displays all live Jira info as a list which is really helpful.

The problem I have is that the data inside the list is justified as align middle left as a default and the only changes I can make to this is to (un)wrap the text. This makes it hard for users to read the page when there is a lot of text presented.

Is is possible to justify the text in any of the columns to align top left?

Many thanks...

Hi @David Kaczmarczyk 

You can only wrap/unwrap the text of a column by clicking on the column header.

I don't really understand how align top vs middle could improve readability.

Are you using Description as a column?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

One of the fields contains commentary/text (column 9) and can range from a few words to a large amount of text. When faced with the latter, the user has to scroll using the vertical scroll bar to locate the info about the Jira in columns 1-8. It would be better if the data was aligned at the top so that this important info is visible. See below example.

Regards,

David
