Our requirements live in Confluence and then transferred to JIRA tickets. We see JIRA as our "source of truth" if you will, wanting to know if anyone knows of a feature that allows the updates made to a particular ticket in JIRA to update the requirements doc in confluence. Thanks in advance!

Hi Atlassian team, I have a similar use case and I want to know if there is any possible solution or workaround available. Here is what I want to do:

"We will have a confluence page setup that is based on a JIRA project. Basically, a compilation of all the tickets on a confluence page and we want to keep on updating the Page per updates on the JIRA ticket.

I know we can link a JIRA issue to a confluence page but we want to get a notification or some sort of updates on the same confluence page as soon as a JIRA ticket is updated along with the date."

Absolutely! I'll set the scene for you. I'm demoing a new feature to my boss and wants an adjustment made. So I can have my dev start in it immediately I go and update the JIRA ticket they're working from to reflect the change. I then have to go update our decision log (which is fine) and update the supporting requirements doc in Confluence.

This may not sound like a lot but it can get out of hand quickly because of the size of the project so, I'm looking for a way to auto-update the requirements document with the changes I've made to the JIRA ticket. I figured this was a feature since Confluence allows you to easily transfer requirements into tickets with two clicks. Thanks in advance on any light you can shed :)

@Kim Lewis I know it's been a while, but did you ever figure out a solution to this? I know one way might be just to replace the entire page including the new content, but in my case, I'm looking for a way to change only some of the information.

This is a bit difficult. 

In Confluence, you can easily use the Jira macros to pull data (especially status) from the Jira issues, but these don't update a Confluence page, they just report on the issues.

I think your question is a bit deeper than that, but I don't want to project my guesses or instincts.

Could you go into a bit more detail about what you want from "update automatically adjusts Confluence"?
