The form provided when creating new issue with JIRA Issues macro should provide a form that contains basic fields required for the particular project chosen

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

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

      When using the JIRA Issues macro's "Create New Issue" function, only the system fields are provided in the form. There are situations where the field configuration used in JIRA has some fields/customfields which are required and because these fields are not filled in the macro, issue creation will fail with a warning.
      Here are basic support fields:

      System fields:

      • Component
      • Fix Versions
      • Affect Versions
      • Priority
      • Due date
      • Environment
      • Assignee
      • Reporter
      • Labels

      Custom fields

      • Textfield, textarea, URL, number (ie Epic name)

      See screenshot for example.

            @Sumit Kumar, see the comments in this issue. This issue is about adding support for required fields of the specified types only. There are other field types which are not (yet) supported. For instance this issue tracks one of these cases: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-32906
            If your issue is with one of the mentioned field types in the description, then maybe get in touch with Atlassian support to check out whether it's a regression or some other problem.

            I have Confluence 5.7.5 with Jira Macros 5.6.12. It is still not working for custom fields.

            Are there any changes needed to be done to enable custom fields.

            Thanks,
            Sumit

            I have installed the JIRA Macro v5.6.3 on a Confluence Standalone 5.4.
            We are still asked to create the issue directly into JIRA whenever there is a FixVersions or a Text box field required upon creation.

            I agree, a lot of people require this improvement to us.

            select list could be a nice improvement.

            what would be really excellent is the ability to convert tabular data into Jira tickets. It seems like this would be an extension of the Jira Issues Macro where the macro would create a table. Each row of the table would have a 'create issue' button. This might get around some of the challenges in this current ticket of customizing the form, because you could make the Macro user specify the columns in the table.

            Iniitially, maybe only for text fields until you could sort out the validation.

            It would be really awesome to have a staging area for issues/stories where you can edit and tune them prior to creation.

            Hi Truong,
            i did as you mentioned, but one question is still open:
            What are "basic fields"? Is this non-custom fields? Is there any list (in the docu) available?

            Thanks & regards,
            Hans-Hermann

            I have just updated title and description of this ticket to make clear. "all fields required" is huge and indefinite. So we would better separate each individual request for each other custom field type.

            Hi David – as a software developer myself, I do always chuckle when I hear the phrase "it can't be that hard." This is the classic complaint of software product customers – the things they want are easy, so why doesn't the software maker just put them in? I'm fully prepared to believe it can indeed be that hard – but the need still stands.
