How to add "Mentioned in" link in JIRA by using user macro in Confluence

[bartekkacz]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a 2 way connection between Jira and Confluence. The main aim was to create a user macro that gets data from template variable and use it in JIRA query. That part was pretty easy:

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="jira">
<ac:parameter ac:name="server">JIRA</ac:parameter>
<ac:parameter ac:name="key">$body</ac:parameter>
<ac:parameter ac:name="serverId"><server_id></ac:parameter>
</ac:structured-macro>

Where at the end $body is my template's variable value. But...unfortunately the macro itself does not add link to the Confluence page in "Mentioned in" section as the classic macro Jira Issue does. I have no idea how to do it - searched multiple pages without an answer. Do you have any concept? 

Thanks

Hi @bartekkacz 

I tested your behaviour and can confirm, this doesn't work.

Perhaps it is because the jira issue is loaded dynamically within another macro. 

I'm also not aware of any good workaround, so I'm sorry about that.
