Updating a Table of JIRA Issues in Confluence

Sashidhar Rao

Hi There,

I understand that there is the ability to create JIRA Issues from a table in Confluence.  But once these issues are created, should any updates on the JIRA or Confluence side for the Title or Description of the issue be reflected on the other side?  So far I have tried updating a Story description in JIRA, but the the table in Confluence does not show the update.  

 

Is there any other alternative?

Hi Sashidhar -

1) There are several ways to create a Jira issue from Confluence: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/use-jira-applications-and-confluence-together-724765436.html

2) You can also use the Jira Issues macro to insert an existing issue by key, or a whole list of issues based on a JQL query.

For #1 you'd see the linked issues at the top of the page (see linked doc).

For #2 the issue info appears in the page content and definitely updates to be current.  

One mistakes I've seen is creating a Confluence table and linking a single Jira issue in each row.  It's usually best to use the jiraissues macro to query your issues and let it generate the table for you.  You can easily choose which columns to see, etc.
