Confiforms Create Nested Jira Issues

[Drew T]

Hi all, 

I'm currently using a Confiform in Confluence to create Issues within a Jira project using the app-link connection and an IFTTT macro with a nested No format macro containing JSON as described  in https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/FORMS/How+to+create+a+form+to+create+a+Jira+issue+from+Confluence 

By using this method, or something similar, how would you create a Jira issue, with additional nested issues e.g. a parent Epic with a number of child Tasks or a Parent Task with a number of child sub-tasks.  

Curious if this is achievable and appreciate any advice to how to get  it done. 

Thanks, 

Drew

Thanks Daniel, what are you looking to do specifically? The "more" button does not appear on Business project boars in Cloud by default.

thanks, Michael,

I want to show labels, the due date and priority on the cards.

Is there a way to do that or I need to change to a software project?

At this time, there is very limited customization available for the JIRA Core boards (actually none really). You can't show more fields on the cards themselves on the board. 

The only way to see priorities / labels, etc. are to open the card themselves, and click "Show More Details" on the right hand side. https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracorecloud/working-with-boards-800712866.html

Think of the boards built into the JIRA Core Projects as "Trello" boards...i.e. less customization. If you want full customization on your cards / boards, and the ability to easily move tasks between workflow steps, I recommend creating a Kanban project in JIRA Software. 

Hope this helps!

As a software developer now running a business, I'm very interested in seeing this functionality. Any chance that this customization is on the road map for the near future?

I've seen it raised a couple of times in JAC, but closed as "not in the foreseeable future"
