"Filter Results" macro not able to find any filter

Question

We have 10000s of filters in our JIRA instance. in Confluence I add Filter Results Macro to a page and in Filter name I type in my filter name "Epics not resolved" for example (filter is shared with everyone). It finds a few matches but nothing is matching my filter name. It is clear that it struggles to find the right match. I put the filter name in quotes and no luck. I add XXYYXX to the name of the filter and in Filter results I search for the string  XXYYXX and BAAM it is found.

I cannot be giving my filters very odd names so that Filter results macro finds them. So what is the solution?

This is a large scale JIRA/Confluence operation so please do not ask me to clean up and remove the filters. The tool has to support what it claims.

I was at least hoping that Advance search was available in Filter Results macro but it is not.

This solution does not work with "Filter Results" macro. It does work though with JIRA issue/filter macro.

So thanks but it does not solve my problem.

Hello,

You could use the Filter number (just pick up the # from the URL when you are on your filter).

Then simply do your query based on the Filter # like so :

* jira.yourwebsite.com/issues/?filter=10200
* Filter = 10200

Where 10200 would be the filter # and this will return the results of your filter.
