Add confluence inserts to rows created with the "Insert Jira Issue/Filter" Macro

Question

I'm currently generating a list of programs using the "Insert Jira issues/filter" macro, but I'd like a column added to the table that is not populated from Jira.  In particular, my use case would be a checkbox from the "task list" item in this column at each row generated from this Macro, which I would then send out to a list of stakeholders.  If any stakeholder checks that box, i know they wish to discuss the contents of that row (one of the programs).

Am I missing a way this could be possible or am I too hopeful about combining the functionalities in the same row?

Hi @GuntherLord ,

You may use our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app to merge Jira Issues output with a plain manually created Confluence table - please check the second part of this Community thread where I give a similar example with screenshots.

Hey @GuntherLord

Welcome to the community :)

If I'm reading this correctly, you are correct in your assumption. That marco will only display information that exists within the jira issue.

However if you're looking for a "task list" type function you could combine this by using the "Task Report" marco to do this https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-task-report-macro/

Hope that helps!
