Issues with Confluence Page Excerpts with Jira Issues - Suggestions?

Kim Jakub-Rayfield September 1, 2024

I am creating Confluence Page excerpts which will have Jira Issues in them with Columns.  I would like the Confluence Page excerpts to then be visible with those Jira Issues (and the data in the Columns) on another page.  Unfortunately, the Jira Issues are displays as a very long link and not the visual from the excerpt I was hoping for...

Is there a trick or a step I am missing to make this happen?

Hi @Kim Jakub-Rayfield ,

It seems that it is a standard behavior for the native Excerpt/Excerpt Include macros. They don't fully support outcomes of macro generated tables.

If you use our Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence app in your company (it provides such popular macros as Table Filter, Table Spreadsheet, Table Transformer), please switch to the Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros. They will be efficient for your case.

Thank you - I will try that and see if it achieves what I am trying to do.  Appreciate your response!

Hi @Kim Jakub-Rayfield ,

Welcome to the Community! Do you have a screenshot where you can share a test of your use case? You can insert Jira issues in a Confluence page by pasting the Jira issue link (e.g. https://<your-instance-name>.atlassian.net/browse/<Jira ID>, or by using the 'insert elements' (+) and selecting the insert Jira issues macro:

Thank you!  I am able to do what you have suggested, however, I am attempting to display the table columns that are displaying on the Confluence Page in the excerpt and those are not visually displaying.  A link is displaying instead.  I am going to try the other macros suggested and see if they work.  Appreciate your response!
