Is it possible to display epic and related stories in confluence using Jira Issue

Stephane Renou

I would like to get an array with all my epics and in one column to get the stories that have that epic.

I am looking for the same kind of display that I can get with Link for example when I link 2 stories.

Epic Link is going the over way around, Link does not show the user stories.

Just to clarify, the output would be

on the line, the epic name and the columns would be the story status, like Opne, in progress, Done.

Then each column would contain the number of stories that are in that status.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Stephane,

Please review our documentation below regarding JIRA agile and Confluence integration:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Working+with+JIRA+Agile+in+Confluence

I hope the mentioned feature above fulfill your requirement on this.

Cheers.

Stephane Renou

Thanks, I initially identified that page as well but could not find a way for me to display in a confluence page all the active epics and in one column of the array, all the user stories related to those.

Hello Stephane,

Maybe this link below have additional information which you are looking for:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILE/Linking+a+Confluence+Page+to+an+Epic

If you need more information, please let me know.

All the best,

Renato Rudnicki

Stephane Renou

Thanks, I also reviewed that page and it is describing how to create a link between an epic and a confluence page. What I am looking for is how to add to a confluence page a Jira report that would contains all the epics and in each epic row the list of user stories that are connected to the epic, the same way you can list jira stories and their linked stories.

Anthony Wijnen

Have you found the answer @Stephane Renou? Looking to do the same here.

Thanks in advance!

Gr,

I am looking for the same on my project overview page I want to put in one link/Jql/etc in Confluence that will list the EPIC > and auto feed in all of the Stories within @Stephane Renou @Anthony Wijnen

To display all the stories within an epic, you can use the Jira Issue/Filter add-in. Use the Epic Name in the filter, ie: "Epic Link" = EN-123.

David Knapp_pzrwmg

thanks @Ryan Fauth that worked for me.

Dean Wheatley

I'm also looking for the same feature. This is one of the first things you look for after creating Epics and assigning stories to them (i.e. a unified view)

Jason A Delmarr

1. Create advanced filter in Jira

"Epic Link" = Name of Epic

* Name of Epic will probably change to an ID automatically, nothing to worry about.

2. Insert Jira issue/filter macro to a confluence page using

filter = "Name of Epic"

2.b Set display option to Table.

Hello would love to ask if there a solution for this too? I used linkedIssues() function but it is only for a specific user story issue.

I hope anything from here have an idea. Thank you!

Ganesan Srinivasan

I have the same need, display the epic name, issue name in a single list. Only thing that seem to be appearing is the issue link and it is just displaying the epic key. I would like to pull the epic name on to the report. I find JQL working while executing from JIRA, it is just that confluence is not displaying it.

Aleksandr_Makarov

Looking to do the same, seems like there is no such ability

Luis Frias

Worked for me too, thanks @Ryan Fauth .

Kyle Lubieniecki_w72rww

Anything here? I'm also looking for it.

Peter Tresenreiter

1. Go to the advanced search in your JIRA Project with the epic

2. click on "+ more"

3. check the entry "Epic Link"

4. search for the epic(s) you want to have in your conlunce table

5. once you configured the filter as you want, copy the link of the address bar

6. go to your confluence page

7. Insert Jira issue/filter

8. paste the link in the box

9. display options: configure the the table as you want

@Kyle Lubieniecki @Aleksandr_Makarov

Aleksandr_Makarov

Hi @Peter Tresenreiter thanks for your answer, however, it seems like you didn't get what we are looking for.

I'm looking to build the table which will show me all my epics for the project with the breakdown to user stories that belong to each epic and ideally their status.

I can't put the table to this comment, so something like that:

Epic 1 - Open
- User Story 1 - Open
- User Story 2 - Open
Epic 2 - In Progress
- User Story 3 - Open
- User Story 4 - In Progress
Epic 3 - Done
- User Story 5 - Done
- User Story 6 - Done

Epic is the first column, linked user stories are in the second column.

This question was asked back in 2014. Has anyone in Atlassian looked into this? If the functionality is not available please let me know. I also looked into exporting our backlog data to then copy and paste into a Confluence report so that I can display Epic Name and Story together, no joy here either. Without the Epic name our sprint/issues are meaningless to Senior Management.

Guest User

I am also looking for this. If anyone has any feedback on this please provide. Thank you!

Deb Laurendeau

I am also looking for this in the cloud version. I successfully created a Structure in the hosted version that listed all Features with Stories nested underneath but can't create in cloud.

Arianna SunBear

dLaurendeau, I also am trying to do this in Confluence server.

When you refer to "structure", do you mean you were able do incorporate the output of multiple epics with nested stories/features in one go, or did you have to do it per epic? If the former, I would love to lean how you did it!

Deb Laurendeau

Yes, in the hosted version I could create a list of all Features (or a subset if I didn't want to see all - in the hosted version we have Features that are equivalent to cloud epics). A structure is a container that could hold Features. There was a down arrow available and I could expand one or more Features and see all the stories underneath them. I could choose the columns that would show across the screen. I am now on Jira Cloud at my current gig and there are no Structures available.

I can use a query in Confluence with "parentepic" and I can get multiple epics and all of their associated stories but the stories don't nest under the epics. The alternative is to create multiple "parentepic" queries on a single Confluence page. It works, you can get an epic with all the associated stories nested under it but each query will have a different width for the same column and the Confluence page looks messy. That said, it does work.

Chris Gado

Also looking for this same functionality. Seems it is still outstanding

Also looking for this possibility

Same thing, waiting for solution

Denis Mamontov

I was trying to solve the same issue today. Jira doesn't provide an out-of-box solution.

It can be achieved with Structure addon.

Select a top-level of your structure
Click the "Automation" button
Click the "Plus" icon and select an "Extend" option
Click "Stories under epics..."

It will show you all of the issues under an epic, which you can further filter out by JQL.

The plugin provides several views. One of them is Tracking. It shows a percentage of completion for each epic, based on the issues that are linked to that epic.

Quite brilliant!

I figured out a work-around that may work for you. It works for me and I was looking for a similar setup.

When using the "Insert JIRA Issue/Filter" tool in Confluence, use Search and type in: "key = ecom-167 OR parent = ecom-167".

NOTE: ecom-167 is the Epic and this will pull in the epic as well as all child tasks.

Hello,

We can recommend you our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app to work with Jira Issues macro in your cases.

You'll be able make pivots to count, for eхample, the numbers of issue types and display issues per assignee (or user stories per epics), also sort your issues on the fly like in Excel, save the required filters for other users and even transform and visualize data.

Here are some examples of dashboards created using the Jira Issues macro and the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app.

If your Confluence instance is Cloud, you'll need the Table Toolbox macro to nest other macros. Other steps are the same.

Best regards,
Katerina

Christoph Purnomo

the proposed one did not work for me, but this filter did:

"Epic Link" = [insert JIRA Epic number here]

it seems it depends on the individual jira configuration, so just check with your admin, which parameter could be used. the filter basically just uses the filter that is used for issue search in order to create lists matching a certain criteria.

Christoph Purnomo

btw, I don't really understand, how atlassian fails to give proper support to this issue, which seems to be a pretty common request. They misunderstand the question, give standard answers via links or simply don't reply (?)

rclakmal

Need this feature badly!

Ok, someone from Atlassian, PLEASE, try your best to either provide a yes or no answer, to the above thread or this response. Since we are all in IT, I have summarized the questions/requests below to make it easier. I have added a simple YES or NO option.

Please respond with either because it can't be both.

Yes = Within Confluence it is possible to import an Epic with all related Story's ("Issues in Epic"), nested below an Epic page (see image below #1), with "ISSUES" located in their own Confluence page.
1. IF YES, please included detailed steps, with screenshots, links to existing documentation, that answer only this thread.

No = not possible, at this time.

So, is it YES or NO?

Thanks,

NOTE: Attached is a visual representation because it seems that typed questions/requests are not being received very well. I even added a numbered list (1., 2., 3.) so you couldn't get lost.

(We want this below!)
BUT WE ARE GETTING THIS!!

Michael Ludvigson_fzg9f3

are you using this with the cloud or server version?

Amurafa

Our company Jira Admin just provided me with this solution and it worked great!

Use a Jira filter with the following query

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("issue = xxxxxx")

Anthony Coleman

Hi @Amurafa - would you mind posting a screenshot of the final results as they appear in Confluence? Remember we are all looking for the solution to get ALL related stories nested under an epic, within Confluence.

Also, is xxxxx = epic #?

Thanks!

Amurafa

@acoleman sorry can't share a screenshot as the issues contain proprietary company info, but yes, the query results in all issues created under the epic displaying in a table format.

yes, xxxx is the epic # (issue key in Jira)

Michael Ludvigson_fzg9f3

if you're mentioning like this, doesnt seem to be working, unless I'm missing something?

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("issue = XYZ-1234")

Noah Hofmann_fybfec

In my case this only displays the epic itself, but not its contents.Does anybody have a similar issue?

Denis Mamontov

This was on the Server version.
