Custom fields do not work in Jira Macro

Question

I'm using the Jira Macro to display release notes in Confluence. Because you can't customize release notes in Jira Cloud, I created a custom field. The Jira Macro on my Confluence page will show the list of issues if I used standard fields in the display options. However, the Jira Macro will not display the list of issues if I include the custom field in the display options; an error box displays with a link to view the list in Jira.

Does anyone have an idea of how to make this work?

It must have been a fluke because everything is working now.

Thank you for responding, Richard.

Hi Diego, I am experiencing the same behaviour.

* Field Type does not seem to matter, I tried the following:* Date
* Label
* Select List

* Issue Type does not seem to matter* Story
* Task

* I am only expecting this behaviour in one instance, Confluence version 6.3.4 Jira version 7.2.10

Any other factors that could be relevant?

Hello there!

Stephanie, I created a Custom Field called COLOR. You can see it here:

When I insert the custom field in my Jira issue macro, it shows up:

So, could you give us a little more info on this behaviour? We can try and replicate the issue:

* What is the field type?
* Was it working previously?
* What is the issue type used?
* Are other custom fields showing as expected?

Looking forward to your reply Stephanie!
