Import data from Jira to fill out fields in Confluence

[Rob_DeVries]

Hello,

I would like to know how to auto fill fields (not just issues) in a Confluence space from a Jira project. My goal is to create custom templates in Confluence which will update my documents automatically.  

For example the project name, description, status, etc. or any data. It would also be nice to copy the Avatar.

This common template would will be used in every project which would made me documents will have the same output format (PDF, Word).

I have looked at the Insert Jira Issue/Filter but it just seems to be for issues.

I am not sure what this would be called so I haven't been able to find anything which could help me.

Thank you,

Hi @Rob_DeVries ,

If I have a correct understanding of what you are trying to achieve, you are trying to populate/update a Confluence page with data from a Jira issue.

If this is the case, you may want to search the marketplace for an add-on that can help you achieve this like, for example, the following ones (you can find more in the marketplace):

• Teamworkx issue publisher for Jira (Server)
• Issue forms for Confluence (Server and Data Center)
• Issue manager for Confluence (Server)
• Raley Intake Forms for Jira (Cloud)

Being on Confluence Server, another option would be to write a User Macro. For details and instructions see:

• Writing User Macros
• User Macro Template Syntax

Finally, similar topics have been discussed in the below threads. You may want to review them to see if any other solution is available:

• Populating values from specific Jira fields into a knowledge base page in Confluence
• Populate Confluence from Jira field by field
• Pull fields from JIRA using Macro in Confluence

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Dario
