How do I seach Jira issue summary from Confluence?

[tqtam]

I would like to create a page from the Confluence where the User can type in a keyword to search Jira issues by Summary and display the results in Jira.

The user may type in a keyword for example "data" and the query should get all records that have a summary that contains the word "data".  This may mean several records that are returned and need to be displayed.

Has anyone tried this before?  

Is there a way this can be done?

Hi @tqtam ,

You may try the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app.

Wrap your Jira Issues macro in the Table Filter macro and set a freetext filter for the summary column:

Your colleagues will be able to type in any phrases they want (in the View page mode!) and retrieve relevant issues.

Hi Katerina,

Is there a way to do this without using an app?

We do not have this app in our organization.

As far as we know, there are no any filters in Confluence out-of-the-box. So the only workaround would be different JQLs for your Jira Issues macro.

You could add the Jira issues macro and then do a JQL search for summary ~data. Would you want to be able to search without editing the Confluence page?

Hi Kristin!

I have tried using the Jira issues macro with the JQL without any problem when I use summary ~ data.

I am looking to do more.  The user should be able to enter any keyword at all e.g.  data, mobile, online, etc. This would not be any fixed value.  

Then the query to be dynamic based on the user's keyword.

E.g.

 summary ~ data

 summary ~ mobile

summary ~ online 

To your last question, I would like to be able to search without editing the page.

Suggestions?  Thank you in advance!
