Get Confluence Page Title For Jira Issue/Filter Search

hanesmedia

Is it possible to use the JIra Issue/Filter search and use the page title of the confluence page IN the search. 

For example, if I have a page titled "Google Chrome", I would like to do a search like this: 

project = packages AND component = "$Page_Title" ORDER BY updated DESC

This way when I duplicate the Google Chrome page and name it Mozilla Firefox the component gets updated and the relevant data gets pulled in from Jira. Right now, for each page I have to manually update the component value. 

 

Thanks!

Hello Danny,

Using JQL to do dynamic searching can be very powerful, but it does have some limitation. Without add-ons, JQL will only allow for the following function references:

• approved()
• approver()
• breached()
• cascadeOption()
• closedSprints()
• completed()
• componentsLeadByUser()
• currentLogin()
• currentUser()
• earliestUnreleasedVersion()
• elapsed()
• endOfDay()
• endOfMonth()
• endOfWeek()
• endOfYear()
• everbreached()
• issueHistory()
• issuesWithRemoteLinksByGlobalId()
• lastLogin()
• latestReleasedVersion()
• linkedIssues()
• membersOf()
• myApproval()
• myPending()
• now()
• openSprints()
• paused()
• pending()
• pendingBy()
• projectsLeadByUser()
• projectsWhereUserHasPermission()
• projectsWhereUserHasRole()
• releasedVersions()
• remaining()
• running()
• standardIssueTypes()
• startOfDay()
• startOfMonth()
• startOfWeek()
• startOfYear()
• subtaskIssueTypes()
• unreleasedVersions()
• votedIssues()
• watchedIssues()
• withinCalendarHours()

What does this mean for you? You will not be able to pass through a Confluence page name as a variable within a JQL statement. In order to do this, you will have to use an add-on that allows for page metadata to be passed through into your Jira issue filter. Here is a Marketplace Search for JQL add-ons.

I hope you find this helpful and it clarifies the out of the box capabilities of the Jira issue filter with JQL.
