creating jira issues from a confluence table for every new row

Question

Hi,

We do a lot of on demand work (requests from say email) and we wanted to track our work. So, we decided to track our work.

The issue creation is taking longer.

So, we are looking to automate issue creation.

Is there any way to create issues from a confluence page, where we can just add the summary and description to a existing page and publish it, thus creating a new issue to the added new content. All the other values should be copied from say a template. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

All I found was the jira issues macro, where either

1. I select from page view and create issue manually

2. Insert the issue using the macro by adding values which is again same like creating issue in jira.

@Lucie Rösgen-Pomper I do not know a way to push attachments from the Confluence table's Description column into the Description (or even Attachments) of the Jira ticket as it is created :(

That would be a good feature request to make, if someone hasn't already asked for it!

@Melanie DuPont Do you know, if there is a solution to include pictures, that are embedded in the table cells in the issues description field? If I convert it as you mentioned, it only includes links which lead to a 404 page.

Is there a way to automate this without external scripts? E.g., once a month JIRA takes each row in a confluence table and adds it as a separate sub-task in a specific issue?
