How to create a static list of Jira issues in confluence page?

Eric Blair

I will be creating Confluence Release pages to list the issues in Jira which are to be in a release. Once this page has its list, it must keep them without changing because people may refer back to it later and see what issues went out with what release. Yes, I can do this manually, but I found that Confluence can tap into Jira issues through this macro:http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/JIRA+Issues+Macro

However, that macro seems to be based on having a Jira filter created, which means that for each release I would need to create a Jira filter and paste the macro into the new release page. So I would like it to just import the Jira isses columns one time and not refer back to the filter. Later I can change just the filter and get the new list for a new release.

If what I ask is not possible with that macro, is there some other non-manual way of doing this?

Use JQL in the JIRA issues macro instead of a filter. Do your query in issue navigator then view -> xml for the JQL based url. If you need to freeze the page result permanently even if the JIRA items associated with the release are changed, then that can be done as well.
