Ability to map more fields from a Confluence table into a JIRA issue when highlighting and creating issues

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Confluence 5.4 shipped with the ability to highlight text in a table and bulk-create JIRA issues. This only supports the "Summary" field in JIRA.

      We've been thinking about improving this feature to allow you to map other columns form your tables in Confluence into JIRA. The difficulty here is in the complexity this exposes and becomes even more tedious when it comes to custom fields an required fields.

      So we'd love to hear form you. Are you interested in this feature? If so...

      • What types of documents do you want to do this in? (Requirements, testing....)
      • Do you want all the fields or is it the same ones over and over again? E.g. is "Description" the majority of what you are after?

      Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

            Hi everyone, I’m Marie and I’m a product manager on the Confluence Integrations team. We’re looking to get feedback from this group on improvements we have planned for the bulk issue creation experience from Confluence.

            Sign up to speak with our team this week (Thur/Fri US timezone) here: https://calendly.com/ntollefson/confluence-usability-chat

            Thanks!

            Hello Team,

            Any update on this matter?
            We find this an extremely important feature for our team.

            I am looking forward to hearing that it has been prioritized.

            Thanks!

            I found this functionality recently but without the additional fields it's not worth using vs csv load. Would much prefer for users to be able to do this via Confluence but need additional fields. Thanks

            Yes, this will be of great help and will save a lot of time and effort involved to create Jira issues.

            This will be of great help in scenarios where some fields are made mandatory.

            This would greatly save the time and effort involved in creating Jira issues from Confluence, especially in the case of Business Requirements. Confluence makes it easier to read and ensures that all cases and scenarios are covered in the User Stories. If we are able to create Jira issues with other columns like labels and customized fields like FR ID, it would improve the traceability and save time as well as effort. Our company would greatly appreciate if we can get this feature soon.

            Atlassian is a huge company with an enormous user tent.  I'm sure getting this macro to recognize any field that isn't a system field like summary and description, would be a fairly large undertaking.

            That being said.....would be really cool if they could start with some "seemingly" easy fields like the shared teams field from advanced roadmaps.  Many boards are based off of the team field that this plugin brings.  Then maybe expand the macro field mappings from there?  

            Pretty please......like with lots of sugar on top?

            PS - I bet "Confluence Defense Squad" is a shared team within Atlassian   Wink wink.....

            It would save at least 2 minutes per Jira created from confluence, considering we can do also bulk creation.
            Time saving and productivity increase is a must for people using productivity and collaboration tools.

            It would save sooo much time for us if this was done.

            Hello,

            we also request this feature! I am trying to create multiple Jira issues out of a Confluence document. For this I am selecting multiple rows of a table, right click, click "create Task", click on the "create multpile task" text and select the project as well as the other required fields. Thats okay and that works

            The problem I (and everyone else here) got is, that I wanted to fill one or more custom fields I added as required to the "Task" issue of a specific project. In my case, I wanted to link the "Bereich"- row of my confluence table to the required "Bereich"- field of my issue.
            I found a 2016 solution but it did not work since its outdated: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-make-a-field-visible-in-the-create-jira-issue-dialogue-in-confluence-678560701.html

            At the moment you can only do this manually and the effort involved is enormous, so please add this feature.
