Issue Summary
Support the native Jira Team field (Atlassian Teams) as a selectable column/dimension in Confluence Jira Issues / Jira Work Items tables
Steps to Reproduce
- In Jira Software Cloud, ensure the native Team field (Atlassian Teams) is available and used on issues:
-
- Go to a Jira project where Team is on the issue screen.
-
- Confirm that issues have a Team value set and that the field works as expected in Jira and Plans.
- In Confluence Cloud, edit or create a page and insert a Jira Issues / Jira Work Items macro:
-
- Configure the macro with a JQL filter that returns issues which have the Team field populated.
-
- Switch the macro to table / two‑dimensional mode (the view the customer uses for metrics).
- In the macro configuration:
-
- Open the Columns selector.
-
- Search for or scroll through the list of available fields and try to add the Team field as a column / dimension.
- Save the macro and the page.
Expected Results
- The native Jira Team field should be:
-
- Available in the Columns list when configuring the Jira Issues / Jira Work Items macro.
-
- Selectable as a column in table view, and as a dimension/axis in two‑dimensional reports.
-
- Rendered using the human‑readable team name (e.g. “Payments Team”), consistent with how the field appears in Jira and Plans.
This would allow customers to use the same Team field as a single source of truth across Jira, Advanced Roadmaps/Plans, and Confluence reporting.
Actual Results
The native Team field does not appear in the list of available Columns / dimensions.
Workaround
Currently there is no native way in Confluence to use the Team field directly in Jira Issues / Jira Work Items tables.
A partial workaround is:
- Create and maintain a custom team field in Jira
- Use Jira Automation to:
-
- On issue creation and when Team changes,
-
- Copy the Team name into this custom field (e.g. using a smart value such as {{issue.Team.name}} or the appropriate customfield_xxxxx name).
- Use this custom team field as a column/dimension in Confluence Jira tables.
This avoids manually updating two places, but it still requires a duplicate field and automation logic.
If you want to keep the FR description cleaner, you can summarize it like:
