Hi,

It looks like you're using a Page Properties Report to generate that table.  The Page Properties Report just provides a faithful report of the the data in your Page Properties macros, so if the decimal is in there it'll be displayed in the Page Properties report.

It looks like a JIRA macro for filter results to me, but even if it is, the principle is the same - it's a faithful representation of the data the macro is reporting on.

Thanks Rob/Nic for valuable inputs. How can we fix this? Do I have to make any config changes?

Hi,

I'm afraid you can't "fix" it, because it's not broken - this is intended functionality.  The reports in Confluence give you a faithful rendition of the data they're reporting on, so the only way to avoid having decimal places in the values in your report is not to have decimal places in the values in JIRA that you're reporting on.

(Bear in mind that Confluence is a wiki, it's not a data processing tool like Excel.  It's not designed to do numerical operations like rounding, or calculations on data.)

Hello Rob,

 

I am pulling reports from JIRA where field value is not having any decimal places. Still on Confluence it is showing decimal values. We want to stop this behaviour of confluence.

 

Thanks

If the field doesn't have any decimal places, that implies you've changed your JIRA look and feel to hide it.  It's still a numeric field though, and that's how Confluence reads numeric fields.
