Summary

When listing issues using the JIRA Macro on Confluence, if the issues are Epics and you add the column Epic Name/Epic Link, only the first Epic Name is shown correctly:

Confluence: 

JIRA (same filter):

Environment

• Confluence server 6.0.1, 5.10.8
• JIRA Server 7.2.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create 3 Epics on JIRA
2. Add a JIRA Macro on a Confluence page with the filter: project = <PROJECT-NAME> and issuetype = Epic
3. Add Epic Name/Epic Link in the Columns to Display field

Expected Results

Epics are listed with the correct name inside the lozenge with the Epic Link.

Actual Results

Only the first Epic is listed with the correct name, the other are listed with the same name as the first one.

Notes

Inspecting the link, we can see that it leads to the correct Epic on JIRA, so just the Name is incorrect:

This issue is probably related to the latest changes to the Epic Name/Link, where both columns are intended to show the same information. Also, the Epic key used to shown in the link name, and now the Epic Name is shown as per the following suggestion:

One other behavior observed is that issues that are not Epic nor are linked to an Epic, are listed by the macro with the same Epic as the other issues. Here is an example, where BT-21 is a Story and it is not linked to any Epic:

The filter used here is project = BT ORDER BY created ASC. If it is changed to project = BT ORDER BY created DESC and the Story issue is the first listed, the Story is not listed as linked to an Epic. However, the other issues are listed as the same Epic as the first one:

Workaround

There is no known workaround for this issue.
