Don't have a direct answer to display the custom field in jiraissues macro. But you can add the "Filter Results" portlet of Jira directly to Confluence (refer http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/External+Gadgets), and there you can select whatever you want to display (the same way you would have done on a Jira Dashboard).

Does this help?

Renjith, you just made my day! It's an excellent workaround.

Why workaround? Because the downside is: it does not create a "clickable" JIRA items list compared to the "JIRA issue gadget".

Again, thanks!

Its been a while since this question has been asked but I was myself confronted with the same problem very recently. Custom field data just did not appear for the JIRA issue macro in Confluence.

After a lot of experiments and RTM, I found the solution. The custom fields needs to have a xml velocity template included in the field definition.

&lt;resource type="velocity" name="xml" location="/templates/heat-map-riskstatus-cfield/xml-color.vm"/&gt;

The sample for this velocity template is

#disable_html_escaping()
#if($renderedValue)
&lt;customfieldvalue&gt;$xmlutils.escape($renderedValue)&lt;/customfieldvalue&gt;
#elseif ($value)
&lt;customfieldvalue&gt;$value&lt;/customfieldvalue&gt;
#end

Hey guys,

Not sure if you can help me here or direct to another issue, but I need to be able to assign a JIRA issue that i'm creating from the Confluence page.

Right now there is no option to assign an issue to anybody, it is automatically assigned to project lead, this means I have to go to JIRA afterwards and manually assign to the correct person in JIRA. Just seems very inconvenient.

Thanks
Janis

It worked! You're a genius! You have made me to avoid a huge waste of time.

Could you please share details on how you were able to get the custom field data to show in the Confluence macro? I am still not having any luck... Kind regards.

Dean Holmes

Could you give detailed step by step guide how to do this. We have a requirements doc, with then want create a new epic or story and need a custom field in that macro dialogue.

Thanks

Anyone is having the issue again?

Please contact support team on https://getsupport.atlassian.com/ for any missing fields issues in your jira issue macro.

Thanks a lot

I'm certainly having this issue. Just discovered the values in my custom fields are no longer being displayed in my Confluence pages. These pages were built in Sep. 2020. These custom fields were providing a lot of needed information to the end-user. Now my Confluence pages are virtually useless. I'm going to try and report it but not holding my breath for a solution.

Any luck @Lloyd Dukes ?

I'm having the same issue - the Jira Issues macro doesn't work with the custom fields that I want to display in confluence for reporting purposes.

For some fields I can use the Jira Filter macro, but it's pretty hit and miss. It also means the report looks pretty ugly if you are using a combination of these macros (They don't look good next to each other)
