Can I extract epics for multiple stories in confluence?

[Shail Tank]

I have a list of stories and want to extract the epics and show then in a confluence table. How do I do that?

If you want to list all the Stories, and show the Epic Link for each one, that's easy. Add the "Jira" macro to your Confluence page, configure the JQL in the macro to identify the Stories of interest, and configure the macro to show the Epic link or name as a column in the results.

If you want to list only the Epics (as a summary across all the specific Stories), that's not something JQL directly supports. JQL can be enhanced with Marketplace Apps to provide additional functionality for advanced searches like this. Here's one we use.

Tip: Don't use more than one "JQL enhancer app", as we've discovered that the added function names can overlap, conflicting with each other and causing problems when Jira is upgraded.
