How do I seach Jira issue summary from Confluence?

Question

I would like to create a page from the Confluence where the User can type in a keyword to search Jira issues by Summary and display the results in Jira.

The user may type in a keyword for example "data" and the query should get all records that have a summary that contains the word "data".  This may mean several records that are returned and need to be displayed.

Has anyone tried this before?

Is there a way this can be done?

As far as we know, there are no any filters in Confluence out-of-the-box. So the only workaround would be different JQLs for your Jira Issues macro.

Hi Katerina,

Is there a way to do this without using an app?

We do not have this app in our organization.

Hi @tqtam ,

You may try the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app.

Wrap your Jira Issues macro in the Table Filter macro and set a freetext filter for the summary column:

Your colleagues will be able to type in any phrases they want (in the View page mode!) and retrieve relevant issues.
