Displaying a list of Jira incidents based on tags in my Confluence article

Question

Hello. I'm new here and very new to using Confluence and Jira. I'm just looking for a way to link incidents, stories, ect from Jira that all have a specific tag. I would like to show the list in a basic Confluence article. It seems like I should be able to Insert something like this using one of the "/" functions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @Farris Lyons

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

You absolutely can do this. There are several Jira macros available in Confluence. While editing a page simply type /jira to get a list.

The first macro is the one that will show a list of Jira issues.

After selecting it, you will need to provide information about which Jira issues you want to display. There are multiple ways to specify this as shown in the hint help in the dialog.

You may want to first work in Jira to get the search statement worked out for retrieving the issues you want.

This is the home page for documentation on performing issue searches in Jira.

If you have more questions about specifically figuring out Jira issue searching, I recommend that you ask those in the Jira Software Questions community.
