Updating a JIRA ticket and the update automatically adjusts confluence

Question

Our requirements live in Confluence and then transferred to JIRA tickets. We see JIRA as our "source of truth" if you will, wanting to know if anyone knows of a feature that allows the updates made to a particular ticket in JIRA to update the requirements doc in confluence. Thanks in advance!

Hi Atlassian team, I have a similar use case and I want to know if there is any possible solution or workaround available. Here is what I want to do:

"We will have a confluence page setup that is based on a JIRA project. Basically, a compilation of all the tickets on a confluence page and we want to keep on updating the Page per updates on the JIRA ticket.

I know we can link a JIRA issue to a confluence page but we want to get a notification or some sort of updates on the same confluence page as soon as a JIRA ticket is updated along with the date."

@Kim Lewis I know it's been a while, but did you ever figure out a solution to this? I know one way might be just to replace the entire page including the new content, but in my case, I'm looking for a way to change only some of the information.

Absolutely! I'll set the scene for you. I'm demoing a new feature to my boss and wants an adjustment made. So I can have my dev start in it immediately I go and update the JIRA ticket they're working from to reflect the change. I then have to go update our decision log (which is fine) and update the supporting requirements doc in Confluence.

This may not sound like a lot but it can get out of hand quickly because of the size of the project so, I'm looking for a way to auto-update the requirements document with the changes I've made to the JIRA ticket. I figured this was a feature since Confluence allows you to easily transfer requirements into tickets with two clicks. Thanks in advance on any light you can shed :)
