Jira Link Visibility in Confluence After Recent Update

[Noran H. Qabeel]

Hello,

After the recent update, I’ve noticed that the Jira link that used to appear at the top of Confluence pages is no longer visible by default. I now have to scroll to the bottom-right of the page and click “Show details” to access the link.

This change has made the process more time-consuming, especially since I manage over 550 pages linked to Jira issues. Manually expanding the details on every page isn’t practical and significantly slows down my workflow.

Is there any way to restore the previous behavior or enable an option to have the Jira link displayed more prominently again (e.g., at the top of the page like before)?

Your support on this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Noran H. Qabeel

You can use the Jira Issue/Filter macro to manually add Jira links to the top of your Confluence pages. This macro allows you to display Jira issues directly on Confluence pages.

I'm reluctant to start doing this to hundreds of pages, in the hope that they will fix what they did and put the JIRA view back at the top.

Do we know the rationale from moving it? My guess is potentially performance issues with always loading JIRA references on every page load?
