How can I paste multiple Jira issues into a confluence page and expand via Jira Issue Macro?

Question

I know that I can paste one Jira issue link into a confluence page and it will be automatically converted into a Jira Issue Macro object that shows the issue title and status, etc.

I would like to be able to paste many such issues at one time and have them all expanded. However it seems that when I paste multiple issues, nothing happens?  Is there some kind of markup that will make this work?

Hi @Robert LoPinto ,

We can suggest using our app - Table Filter and Charts for Confluence.

The add-on provides the Table Transformer macro that can be used to add manually created columns for notes to your Jira Issues macro. Please check this thread (second part) for more details.

I have a table in Excel with each Jira URL in one of the columns. When I paste into Confluence it creates a confluence table but does not convert any of the Jira URLs into a Jira Macro. I have hundreds of these so doing this manually isn't practical.

I know I can create a JQL filter but then I can't add my own custom columns for which I have many (i.e., containing data that is not within the Jira item itself).

Any ideas on how this could be accomplished?
