Values from Custom Field not appearing in Confluence Table Filter

Robbie Wareham

I have created 3 custom field types via a bespoke plugin, all of which appear to work in JIRA.

However, when I use the Table Filter macro in Confluence to retrieve issues from Jira including instances of the custom field types, the column names appear, but all data is empty. When the query is run in Jira, the issues returned all display values in these fields.

Interestingly, I have some other fields which are scripted using the Adaptavist plugin, and these are correctly displayed in the Table Filter.

I am implementing "edit" and "view" velocity templates, do I need to implement an XML resource too?

To confirm, I am using Server rather than Cloud

Hello Robbie,

Yes, you need to implement an XML template. XML template is used to export issue field values to Jira Issues macro and some other places.

Thanks

XML template should look like this:

<customfieldvalue>
$value
</customfieldvalue>

Ah, I added that to my view template, as I saw post where people were talking about customfieldvalue and assume it was HTML

LOL

Just to confirm, I don't need this in the view template as well?

Hello, I'm receiving the same issue on version 7.6.1. A custom field from jira is not being populated in a table created in confluence. Any guidance on how to solve this issue.

Thank You.

Hello @Nabeel Ahmed

Did you create the field by using some kind of programming (like in the initial question), or is it a custom field of a type available in Jira by default?
