How to make Jira Macro Searchable?

[Deleted user]

So I am adding a Jira macro to a page. I need the contents of the macro to be searchable in Confluence.

This does not seem to be the case. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Hi Timothy,

The content within the Jira issues macro is not searchable within Confluence.

We do have a feature request for this that you're welcome to vote on and comment with your usage case:

• CONFCLOUD-2689

Be advised that it is a long-standing request and it doesn't appear that it will be implemented in the near future, but any feedback you can provide on the case will be helpful.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

We have a use case for an internal knowledge base based on a service desk for internal users. We would like to have the ongoing issues as part of the knowledge base to deflect duplicates. 

We added a Jira macro to a KB page. If the Service Desk KB could have shown results from the Jira macro then it would have really helped us deflect duplicate issues. 

 I know this is not a high priority Confluence issue but it could be quite a bit higher from a Service Desk KB perspective as deflecting issues is kind of a major selling point ;-)

So maybe the requirements priority should be determined by the Service Desk backlog....

Hi Timothy,

Thank you for your explanation. Please be sure to include that on the feature request itself so the developers can see it.

Let me know if you have any questions!
