            We have Jira cloud and Confluence on prem. Version is older but still seeing the same issues. 

            Basically we can't get Epic Link or anything related to Epic to display in a Jira filter, but we can in a table, I don't get it?

            Hi

            We are on Confluence 6.5.2 and the issue persists for us. is there any kind of workaround available? e.g. Are we able to display a Jira Gadget (As in from the Dashboards) on a Confluence page?

            We just tested with Jira 7.5.2 and Confluence 6.5. The Epic link displays the Epic link issue but the link on it does not point to the Epic issue. It points to the issue in the result line. 

            Key:               Epic Link text       Epic Link link:

            PROJ-1          PROJ-2               PROJ-1

            Somebody should take another look at this.

            The link in Jira Issue Navigator is OK. Only the Issue macro is displaying it wrong.

            Interestingly enough, when I add the "Issue Type" and "Epic Link" fields in the JIRA macro, the Epic Name Shows up with the correct name and color.

            Not only does this show Epic Link, but it also shows the wrong text for that epic consistently.  I'm not even sure of the rhyme or reason for the epic names it puts there.  When I click on say "Epic 1" it takes me to JIRA X, then if I click on another issue's "Epic 1" it takes me to JIRA Y.  So the names are incorrect, but the linkages are correct.
