How to refresh "Insert Jira Issue/Filter" results within the "Table Transformer" macro

Question

Is there a way to force a refresh of the data returned in the Table Transformer macro? The Table Transformer I have setup sources its data from an Insert Jira Issue/Filter macro. If I remove the Table Transformer macro and only display the results from the Jira Issue/Filter, the Refresh option is provided at the bottom of the issues list allowing me to force a refresh of the data, but I don't see where that same Refresh option is available when embedding the Jira Issue/Filter in the Table Transformer.

Reloading the entire page doesn't force a refresh either. I have to wait until the admin-level Confluence cache is refreshed then reload the page to see updated data from Jira.

Does anyone know if there is a way to force a refresh of the data?

Hi @Nikki ,

It seems that @Ste Wright has indeed found a similar question that will help your case.

Also if you don't see the refresh button after you wrap your Jira Issues in the Table Transformer macro, please check its settings.

Navigate to the Options tab -> Source data field.

If you have the "Hide all content" variant chosen then the refresh button is hidden.

So, you may choose the "Hide tables" variant instead: the source Jira Issues table will be still hidden but the refresh button will be visible.

Hope this helps your case. Anyway, you are always welcome to contact our support directly.

Hi @Nikki

Is the Table Transformer a part of an App? Potentially Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence?

I'd consider contacting the vendor for this one; their contact details are on the "Support" tab on their Marketplace listing.

I found (similar) questions on the Community, but unsure if these solve your exact issue - for example, check out this answer
