Link Confluence action status to Jira Issue status

Question

Hello everyone,

To maximize the reliability of our specifications in Confluence (making sure all implemented fonctionnalities are documented in relevant Confluence page), I am trying to ensure all specification rules (a specific line in a relevant Confluence page) have an issue in Jira and vice-versa.

I can refer to a Confluence page from a Jira issue, but it is only a loose link, and I can't find a way to have a more detailed link, where a Confluence action status would be linked to a Jira issue status : unchecked if the issue is new, and automatically checked when the issue is closed.

Do you know if what I am trying to achieve is possible? I'm talking about Confluence actions but maybe I am looking at the wrong tools for that?

Thanks,
Regards,
JL

So it is not possible using Confluence tasks but there is no other tool that would allow that either?

I was hoping there was an app I wasn't aware of, or another functionnality.

Hi @Julien Lambert welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If one specification in Confluence is linked to a Story or Task in Jira, then you can you the Jira Issue/Filter macro to link to the relevant Jira issue. That embedded link will show the status of that Jira issue.

So I wouldn't use a separate Confluence status (with a Status macro), but just the Jira issue link.

You cannot link Confluence tasks to Jira tasks/subtasks (and sync the status) or automation unchecked to checked.
