publishing JIRA attachment into confluence

Question

Hello,

Has anyone tried publishing a JIRA attachment into confluence as a web page?

We have JIRA 6.0.8 and Confluence 4.3.1 on our own instance. Both apps are trusted links. We would like to publish attachments from a JIRA entry as a confluence web page. This should happen when the JIRA entry is in Resolved status.

Thanks,

Manju

You would need to use storePage instead. The data in the attachment needs to be text or something that is meaningful to put on a page. Perhaps you would need to surround with a {noformat} macro.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your suggestion.

However, I am looking to convert the JIRA attachment into Confluence web page itself, not add the JIRA attachments as an attachment into a confluence page. I see that this plugin is able to create a confluence page (https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JCLIP/How+to+create+Confluence+pages). Please suggest if there is way to add content from the JIRA attachment into the new page.

Basically, the requirement is to read the JIRA attachment content, apply a confluence page template and publish the content as a new confluence page.

CLI Plugin for JIRA has a post function for doing operations on other servers like Confluence. Add the post function to the resolved transition. In particular, you can could addAttachment to a conflence page. However, to make this work, JCLI-460 will need to be provided so it is easy to get the issue attachments that need to be processed.
