Hello,

we are also affected from this BUG.

Versions Used:
Confluence: 5.9.12
Jira: 7.1.8

In our eyes this is not a "Suggestion" but a Bug.

Please fix asap!

Atlassian,

I don't think this is being taken seriously enough. The issues here is entirely related to the comments at Ability to configure the maximum number of issues displayed in the JIRA issues macro.

This macro is vital for many of us who genuinely use Jira and Confluence as an enterprise system. We depend on the ability to produce reports in Confluence based on Jira data.

If I can't show the epic name next to a story, I lose vast amounts of value from the report.

This is a bug not an improvement, and a major one - I would have hoped that following the comments at the above issue this would be obvious.

Please fix it ASAP!

Another workaround is to replace content of "Epic Link" column using AJAX request.
Just wrap this code into "<script type =text/javascript>…</script>" and place the result into "HTML" macro:

$.ajax({
    url: "https://example.com/jira/rest/greenhopper/1.0/epics?maxResults=100&projectKey=PRJ",
    type: 'get',
    dataType: 'json',
    async: true,
    error: function (e) {alert(e)} ,
    success: function(response) {
        var keyvalue = response.epicNames.reduce (function (result,item) {
            result[item.key] = item.name;
            return result;
            },
        {}
        );
        $('table.aui').each(function(i, table) {
            $(table).find("tr > th:contains('epic link')").each(function() {
                var cellIndex = $(this).index() + 1;
                $(table).find('tr > td:nth-child(' + cellIndex + ')').html ( function () {
                    var content = $(this).text().trim();
                    return '<a href = \'https://example.com/jira/browse/' + content  + '\'>' + ( content ? keyvalue[content] : '') + '</a>'
                });
            });
        });
    }
});

It is possible to use this "HTML" macro not only in page with JIM output, but also in comments.

This bug affects all picker custom fields. See screenshot version-picker-id.jpg. "Target Version/s" is a custom field of type version pickler. Using it in a filter in JIRA shows the version name correctly. Anywhere in Confluence via the JIRA macro, the ID is shown instead.

It is very annoying and I do not expect this to be big effort to fix. Probably just displaying a different field from an array. Can y please provide a fix for this?

Update:
Using Confluence 5.4.3 and JIRA Macros Plugin 5.4.5

Hello,
I see the similar limitation. Thank you for the workaround in the meantime by creating a "legend" of sorts. Would be very helpful though if we could display the Epic Name and not just the number in the same table.

Update
I attempted this workaround, unfortunately when I try to two Macros on same page and I configure the columns to display, it affects the output of BOTH Macros. Here are the steps to reproduce:
1. Add JIRA Issues Macro to page (first instance) and configure.
2. Add another JIRA Issues Macro to the page (I used 2 column page layout, 1 macro in each column). Now when you configure the second Macro, you notice the display columns match the first macro. If you remove and add columns to display in Macro 2 and save it, you notice that Macro 1 updates as well.

Using:

• JIRA v6.1
• Confluence 5.4.1

Thank you,
Jeff
