Jira legacy macro and Variables

[Jesse Berkeley]

Hi Community,

Prior to our upgrade from Confluence Server to Cloud I would have used a template to create release notes by using the Page Properties with some variables in there for a Jira Release ticket ID. This variable would also be used to populate the key needed for a "JQL Filter Allowing Variables" to return certain columns. In doing some research it seems to not exist as a macro on the Cloud version anymore. I've found the Jira Legacy Macro to be something I can use but has anyone found a way to use the Jira Legacy Macro with Variables so it filters based on the custom variables?

I can't see much evidence of this and its a bit annoying to think that ALL our pages having been created on a template is now lost. Any ideas on this would be appreciated thanks!

Hi @Humashankar VJ, 

Thanks again but the list provided doesn't help to address my original query of there being a Macro for me to use to pull the JQL via the variable. Do appreciate the suggestion so will keep searching.

Hi - I hope that you are Doing good !!

macro from Confluence Server in Confluence Cloud

While the Jira Legacy Macro in Confluence Cloud does not directly support variables like the server version did,

Hi @Humashankar VJ 

Thanks for the reply on this. Your first link leads to a 404 because of the trailing "/0" after the "review-macros-only-available-in-the-legacy-editor/editor/". Also I believe your sentence was left open ended what was your suggestion?
