This is nice and looking forward to see what is next.
Quick questions:
Is there any chance that it will work with any other custom field type, other than rich text (aka paragraph)?
Are you considering creating a new macro in confluence that allows populated a field (e.g. a specific table cell) with the content available at a specific custom field of an issue type?
And if you also include a body where you can change the entire content by just changing the issue type number? This would allow us to create new pages/reports with less friction, thus potentially making the Confluence our repository for Experiment (A/B test) results.

Hi @Elizabeth Sprouse Only users with permissions to that page will be able to access it (you won't have to worry that unauthorized people will have access to that page). 🙂
@Lennon Liao I was using Chrome. I also tried Chrome incognito mode with the same error. I can, however using the link in Jira (above the failed embed) to go over to Confluence and see the page using my current user/session. So I know it's not a permissions issue.
But we are still really disappointed in your Product Team...
Why do you force tech people to use 'smart links' by default? In 99% of the cases, our tech team wants to show full URL's in specs and comments. Why is this discussion JRACLOUD-72429 still not solved?

Thanks for the feedback on the embed feature @Wouter. 🙂
As for smartlinks by default, rest assured that we're hard at work on this. We hear you loud and clear and are coming up with solutions to address your pain points. The latest updates would be available onJRACLOUD-72429

Hi @Badana Shanmukha Teja and @Daniel DuBravec This feature is only available on Confluence Cloud. We currently have no plans to support this on Server and Data Center, but will keep you posted if anything changed. Thank you.
Ok, if this option is available in cloud version, then is there any possibility to get this feature through some 3rd party plugins? If yes, please let us know
Hi @Lennon Liao this is a useful addition, but please please please enable us to define the default behaviour. I would estimate that 90% of the time I past a URL into a Jira ticket I want it to show the URL and not convert to a smart link.
What I want is to be able to specify the default behaviour of a smart link to be "Display URL"
I feel like all the effort spent adding this feature is catering for 10% of my needs whereas 90% of my time I spend CTRL-Z the smart link to get the URL back.

Hi @Arby Leon What web browser are you using (Chrome, Safari etc)? Often times, the root cause is that your web browser has blocked 3rd-partycookieswhich results in that blank screen. You can try to switch your settings to unblock 3rd-party cookies and see if that solves the problem. Happy to have a call with you to discuss further. Thanks.
@Lennon Liao, once I activated the 3rd party cookies it started functioning again. This most likely must have been caused by a chrome update. Thank you!

Hi @Flavio De Souza Sorry I missed your earlier message. We currently don't support those 3 workflows that you described. However, we will definitely take these suggestions into consideration as we explore new ways to make our Jira and Confluence integration work even better. Would love to discuss this in detail with you and better understand your workflow.
Hi @Lennon Liao thank you for your clear explanation. we used this way to embed our Google Drawing, but now I see an "unable to load file" error. and just me in our organization see this error :/ It doesn't happen in the incognito tab. I use chrome. do you know what is the problem?
