How do I add a Confluence Link as a column in a filter?

Question

For each issue in Jira, we will add a Confluence link where we document our product requirements. This allows developers and QA to quickly access the page with little trouble or confusion.

I am creating a reporting filter to export all released issues in Jira over a specified date range for release notes, reporting, etc. I need to add "Confluence Link" as a column to my report, so that our product marketing teams can view the pages as well for marketing materials. However, I cannot find a column that references Confluence, so I am currently stuck manually pasting Confluence URLs which is very inefficient use of my time.

The built in weblinks field doesnt seem to be available to select as a column in Jira cloud.  Another downside is that field is not included in the JIM (jira import manager) to import issues to this field or to export the data out of jira currently. There is a suggestion opened to include this field in the Import manager .  You can probably expand on your issue in there as well.

Atlassian's response to me when I brought this field / functionality issue up was this was not an available field to add to a screen and hence its not available to display in filters, export or import to it.

I am slightly unsure on how that works in Cloud. This is one way I could think of. If you can add a field and use it, then you can filter issues  using jql

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOfRemote("application name", "Confluence")

@Niranjan Thanks for the prompt response!

To clarify for my own understanding, you are suggesting that I do not use the default field that is currently available?
