Jira filter nested in Page properties

[Miloš]

Hi all,

I have a Jira filter macro nested in a Table Transformer (to transpose it) nested in a Page Properties macro - in my child page.

When I look at my parent page, the Page Properties Report is displaying an empty column where it is supposed to display the content of the row from the child page.

Not sure if the Jira filter macro is the problem, if it is, then what would be the solution? I have already tried to use Page Excerpt Include around it, and then just plug the Page Excerpt into the Page Properties (child page), but I have been unsuccessful.

I have tested my setup, the Page Properties Report (parent level) works fine with a normal table in the child page. The Jira filter macro might be a dynamic macro hence messing up with Page Properties macros.

Does someone have an idea on how to fix this?

Hi @Miloš ,

Seems that you've asked a similar question here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-show-data-from-multiple-pages-vertically-in-columns/qaq-p/2058343

So, as we've suggested before, you can switch your Page Properties/Page Properties Report macros to the Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros.

It doesn't actually help as I have a landing child page for each project, and I would like each of them to feed the Page Properties Report (parent page) hence becoming a row in it.

The Excerpt macro is not built for that, as I would have to manually expand the table for each new project child page.

Here, I want a dynamic Page Properties Report absorbing any new project child page and display the preselected content of my choosing.

You are wrong - we are talking not about the standard Excerpt/Excerpt Include macros but about Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros that serve as an advanced version of the Page Properties/Page Properties Report macro.

With the help of the Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macro you can collect one and multiple row tables from other pages into one big report (from pages with specific labels as PPR does, from child pages, from child pages and their children).

Take a look at the documentation regarding the case once more: https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-42241623.html#TableExcerptandTableExcerptInclude-GeneratingaCombinedReport:CollectingTablesfromMultiplePages

And here is a comparison between TEI and PPR macros https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-42241623.html#TableExcerptandTableExcerptInclude-GeneratingaCombinedReport:CollectingTablesfromMultiplePages

Also I've mentioned that the tables can be collected from child pages automatically and you've mentioned that "I want a dynamic Page Properties Report absorbing any new project child page" - so you don't need to use page labels at all. You may just place your Table Excerpt Include macro on the parent page and it will "grab" Table Excerpts from all the child pages.
