• • Steps To Reproduce:
    1) create and save a private jira filter (e.g. assignee = paul chambers, resolution = unresolved)
    2) give it a custom column order, remove one or more columns (e.g. assignee, resolution)
    3) use {jiraissues} macro to insert it into confluence page
    
    ** Expected Result:
    
    Appearance of filter output in confluence approximates appearance in jira, including custom sort order, column order
    
    ** Actual Result:
    
    Confluence honors the sort order of the jira filter, but not the column order (and hiding of columns).
    
    ** Additional Information (Setup/Notes/etc):
    {jiraissues}

    macro does provide a 'column' parameter to control visibility and order of columns. So there is a workaround.

But as stated, you would expect that specifying a certain filter in the plug-in would include its appearance, not just its query.
