Merge Jira issue filter result with a manual data table where manual table has merged rows

[Manali Butey]

I am using the Table transformer macro to merge a Jira issue filter result table with a manual table. 
How do I achieve a merged column for certain rows for the manual column?

e.g.

Manual table

Key	Comment	Col c
A-1	Same comment	Additional data
A-2		Additional data 2

However, in merged table output 'Same comment' appears in two separate rows instead of seeing merged column.

Have read through the documentation but have not found anything on displaying merged rows in output
TIA

Hi @Manali Butey ,

Unfortunately you won't be able to implement the case - the behavior of the Table Transformer macro is correct for this situation. As a macro developed for tabular data and Ala SQL queries, it specifically gets rid of the merged cells to work with them later.

We understand the visual appeal of the merged table cells for this case, but can't really come up with any suitable solution.

thanks for your response.

Is this still the case? Thanks!

Hi @Megan ,

Yes, the internal logic of the Table Transformer macro remains the same.
