The Insert Jira Issue macro so far allowed to create some neat ticket stats and by manually adjusting the reference to JQL or XML it also displayed zero values and total ticket count when none or only 1 issue are within the filter range.
With our current version combo (confluence 5.1 + Jira 6.0.3) this does not work anymore. A filter result with zero tickets cannot be displayed at all and results with 1 ticket only as a complete key instead of a total number. The Display Options do not allow to modify this in any way.
That makes it effectively impossible to create any meaningful summaries or reports. With the very limited reporting capacity in Jira this has a significant impact on applicability.
If you experience a similar problem and if you found a workaround it would be great if you could share it. Thanks.
