How to add Voting button to Confluence page from Jira issue?

Question

Hello, is it possible (anyhow) to add Voting button to Confluence page from Jira issue? Result should be look like - Confluence page - and there is some description, vote option and vote count of specific Jira issue.  Therefore we will be able to vote for jira issues without leaving confluence space.

Hello Martin and welcome to the Community!

Voting for a Jira issue within Confluence sounds like a great feature. There was a feature request for this which has been closed as “Won’t Fix”, meaning it will not be added as base functionality into the product. You may find that feature request at CONFSERVER-28654. However, there are marketplace add-ons which may provide some level of external voting. Here is a preset search within the marketplace for Jira voting add-ons.

There is a lower-tech workaround which you may test and that involves using Confluence’s iFrame macro. The iFrame macro would allow you to include the Jira issue itself within the Confluence page. You may find more about the macro at How to put an iFrame into Confluence.

You are also welcome to submit a new feature request for your idea. You may do so at Submit suggestion. Ensure you select the proper product and choose suggestion. Please link that suggest back to this post so others may find it in the future.

I hope this information proves helpful and provides some clarification.
