When I embed a Jira issue by pasting its URL on a Confluence page, I can select it to show as a card which it great!

The card shows the issue title, description and some other properties are shown. Just what I need.

The description of the Jira item is unfortunately truncated - is there a way to show the full description if the item in Confluence?

Hi@martin ,

if adding the Jira field into the Confluence page is part of a recurring process, like "create a documentation page when a issue of the type 'project' is created", then an automation solution can do the job for you and insert the full Jira field value.

You can either use the built-in Jira Automation for the one time creation of a page and use smart values to add Jira issue field content into the page body. Here is a link to another discussion with a how to set it up.

If you want a permanent sync of Jira and Confluence you can also take a look at our app Autopage in the Marketplace. It's free to try and is designed exactly for integrating Jira and Confluence. Accomplish work in Jira and get structured doucumentation in Confluence.

Cheers

Armin

Hi @martin 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

 

Currently there are no options to display the full description or increase the characters there in the CARD option, but there is the button "Open Preview" that would open the jira issue in something similar as a "pop-up" that allows you to see more details there, including the full description of the jira issue.

I understand that you would like to have an option to expand the description only, so I have created the following feature request:

I hope this also helps, Martin!

Cheers,
Jessica

Hi @Jessica,

Thanks for creating the feature request.

To suggest an alternative feature: the ability to insert (or embed) a specific Jira item field into a confluence page, like the description of an item.

This would further increase integration between Jira & Confluence and enable functionalities like offered in Polarion.
