Confluence "Insert Jira Issue" macro broken

[MichaelS]

It seems that the "Insert Jira Issue" macro in Confluence is somehow broken. If I try to create a new Jira issue in Confluence, I can enter the issue data, but the creation of the Issue fails because the marco does not set the "reporter" field of the issue. Normaly the reporter field was set to the current confluence user. My Confluence uses the Jira user database. I use the macro relatively often, so guess that it has been broken by recent updates. I use Jira 5.0.4 and Confluence 4.2.2. Can anyone confirm this?

Regards,

Michael

This is a known bug, introduced in JIRA 5.0.3.

Watch this issue for updates: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-28046

This is fixed in Confluence 4.2.4, which should be released next week.

I am experiencing the exact same thing. This is an important part of our workflow so hopefully someone can explain how to correct this!
