How can I keep the formatting of the static JIRA report, but make it dynamic to include new issues?

[Deleted user]

Hello!

I've created JIRA reports in Confluence using both the Static and Dynamic Templates as documented here: 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf612/jira-report-blueprint-958777548.html

I'd like to keep the formatting of the Static report as it lists everything by issue type, i.e. Bug, Question, Change Form etc.. but I'd also like it to be dynamic so any new issues that are added in JIRA will be populated under the correct Section.

How can I set this up?

Thanks!

Hi @[deleted],

How about using the dynamic report but sorting the issues in your JQL formula that you use when setting up the report?

You can use the order by issuetype to keep all the different issuetypes together.

The format will still be different from the static report but it will accomplish your goal of keeping all the issuetypes together.

Hope this helps!

Hey Patrick, thanks for a quick response!

I did that as well but the static report format is much cleaner and what I'm looking for. It just shows the Issue Type as a section and then the link, status, and short description. I don't need all the other details to be shown in Confluence.

I am hoping there is an easy way to modify the static report template to keep everything as is except to pull all issues from JIRA and not just those as of report creation date.

Ah bummer.

I think you'll have to create your own blueprint for that.  At the bottom of the documentation you sent there are some tips on customizing this blueprint.

Ultimately you'll need some development skills to get this done as the underlying html I am looking at doesn't provide any easy way to customize this report.
