Jira Macro - How to adjust column width?

Hi,

I'm working with the 'Jira' macro in Confluence to display a list of Jira issues. I've noticed an issue with the table formatting.

The "Assignee" column appears to be excessively wide, taking up a disproportionate amount of space. For example:

| status | Assignee                 | Summary |
---------------------------------------
| Todo | User 1                       | Issue Summary 1 |
| Todo | User 2                       | Issue Summary 2 |

Is there a way to reduce the width of the "Assignee" column? Ideally, I'd like the table to look more like this:

| status | Assignee | Summary |
---------------------------------------
| Todo | User 1       | Issue Summary 1 |
| Todo | User 2       | Issue Summary 2 |

Any guidance on how to adjust the column width would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi @Seungwoo Ham ,

We can suggest trying the app that we develop - Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence (maybe you already have it installed for your instance: you may search for the Table Filter, Pivot Table, Table Spreadsheet macros).

You may take the Table Transformer macro for the case: wrap your Jira Issues macro in the Table Transformer macro and follow this example.

If you are stuck or have any further questions, please contact our support directly.

Hi @Seungwoo Ham ,

I believe this is kinda limited in DC (I'm mostly working on cloud).

From what I've managed to dig out is that you could use some kind of workaround by installing Confluence Source Editor > open page and source editor > locate the table HTML and set width for the "Assignee" column with something like:

<col style="width: 80px;" />

I haven't tried this myself as I currently don't have DC environment so I cannot confirm if it will work.

Cheers,
Tobi
