We recently started using Jira and moving our documentation to Confluence. We really like that you can link confluence pages on a jira issue but I would expect to see the linked jira issues listed on corresponding confluences pages, and that does not seem to be the case. Is this even possible? I have tried inserting the Jira issues component onto the confluence page but that doesn't automatically sync and isn't a great manual solution anyways since you can't cherry pick which issues you want to include, you have to filter to a specific list and sometimes our issues are seemingly random in jira but are relevant to the same confluence documentation.

Hello @McLane, Rebecca 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Are you using this option to link the Jira issue to the Confluence page?

When the link has been made, in the Jira issue you should see the Confluence page under a heading like this:

If so, then it may take several minutes to synch, and you may need to refresh the page in Confluence, but you should see an icon like this appear in the Confluence page header.

If the user viewing the page doesn't have access to Jira, or doesn't have access to the specific Jira issue, I'm not sure if that button will display.

@Trudy Claspill this was a big help for me too!  

As a follow-up question, is it possible to list all of the confluence pages in a space that have these links to Jira?

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

I'm not as knowledgeable about Confluence as I am about Jira. I suggest that you start a new post for your question by clicking the Ask a question option at the top of the Community page. That will add your question as an Unanswered Question in the forum and that will get it better visibility.
