Link Confluence action status to Jira Issue status

[Julien Lambert]

Hello everyone,

To maximize the reliability of our specifications in Confluence (making sure all implemented fonctionnalities are documented in relevant Confluence page), I am trying to ensure all specification rules (a specific line in a relevant Confluence page) have an issue in Jira and vice-versa.

I can refer to a Confluence page from a Jira issue, but it is only a loose link, and I can't find a way to have a more detailed link, where a Confluence action status would be linked to a Jira issue status : unchecked if the issue is new, and automatically checked when the issue is closed.

Do you know if what I am trying to achieve is possible? I'm talking about Confluence actions but maybe I am looking at the wrong tools for that?

Thanks,
Regards,
JL

Hi @Julien Lambert welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If one specification in Confluence is linked to a Story or Task in Jira, then you can you the Jira Issue/Filter macro to link to the relevant Jira issue. That embedded link will show the status of that Jira issue.

So I wouldn't use a separate Confluence status (with a Status macro), but just the Jira issue link.

You cannot link Confluence tasks to Jira tasks/subtasks (and sync the status) or automation unchecked to checked.

So it is not possible using Confluence tasks but there is no other tool that would allow that either?

I was hoping there was an app I wasn't aware of, or another functionnality.
