Why is my Gantt chart not showing the JIRA ticket names?

[mattdarwin]

I have discovered the handy Gantt chart macro, and am trying to use it to track various tasks, some of which are JIRA tickets.

Here's an extract from the table of tasks in the macro:

And here's how it is rendered :

As you can see, the ticket descriptions look great in the table, but are illegible in the actual chart.  

We are using Confluence 6.13.4

Any ideas?

Hi @mattdarwin ,

As I can see, you use the default Chart macro. This macro receives and displays only the issue key.

In case you use the Chart from Table macro (the Gantt chart type), you'll see the whole label:

thanks for your suggestion.  I tried that macro, and it looked even worse:

Hi @mattdarwin ,

For a better view, you can try to split the column and display issue summaries as a description on the bars:

1. Use the following macro combination:

2. Try the following SQL query:

SELECT T1.'Task'->split(" - ")->0 AS 'Task',
T1.'Task'->split(" - ")->1 AS 'Description',
T1.'Start date',
T1.'End date',
T1.'Completed'
FROM T*

3. Configure the Chart from Table macro:
