ConfiForms merge (table)view and native jira macro

Question

Hey there,

so I m currently trying to achieve the following:

Form1 has Field1 (Name), Field2 (JiraIssue), Field3 (SmartField referencing FieldY of Form2).

Form2 has FieldX(Name), FieldY (JiraIssue)

When selecting a value (Jira Issue) for Field3 the Jira Issues of both Forms (Field2 and FieldY) get linked through an IFTTT WebServiceRequest. After that the field resets to make room for more links.

Now in a LiveView (Pointing at Form1) I use the native Jira Macro with a JQL so every connected item to the Jira Issue (Field2) gets displayed.

So far so good.

But now I want to show the FieldX value of Form2 as well, next to the "Jira Macro".

So in the end I would like it to look like that:

I kinda need to make the tableview show the entries where the Jira issue (FieldY) is connected (to Field2) and thereby shown in the Jira Macro.

Anyone has a take on how to solve that?
Greetz, Max

Oh, you are trying to get the linked issues as confiform entries, and not as jira macro issues?

In that case, I would consider adding a third form to store the linked issues after linking them with the WS IFTTT to use for viewing them (would work if you are only linking issues through the confiform you created, and not manually through Jira).

You can add an IFTTT for copying the entry to the third form right after the WS IFTTT, and before clearing fieldY.

I assume you could find a way to play with the jiraissue field attributes to get a list of the linked issues from field2 to use as a filter for a tableview, but I couldn't find the right combination of virtual functions to return the linked issues in a list format that can be joined to a filter expression.

I'm not sure I understood what you are trying to do.

You have 2 forms, both have jira issue fields, and one of the fields on form1 is a smartfield pointong at form2.

Now, you are trying to make a view that for each entry on form1, will show all of the entries on form2 whos jira issue on fieldY are linked to the jira issue on field2?

If so, a simple Jira macro with the JQL: issue in linkedIssues([entry.field2.key]) will get you exactly that.
