Export Jira Comments field into Confluence

[Tonja Davis]

Let me start with "I'm Lazy." I am a project manager with seven active projects and my source of truth are the Epics I update weekly with the project status. 

My Stakeholders use Confluence as their source of truth. 

Assuming my first statement is correct (I'm Lazy), I'd like the comments of the epics to update the appropriate field in Confluence so I only have to update one thing every week instead of two. 

I understand that Atlassian has not made this possible as the open requests have not been implemented since 2019. Also, some of the plugins I look at export the entire ticket or fields of a ticket in a table. I only want the comments.

Is there a plugin I'm missing somewhere that might give me this functionality?

You're going to need one of the scripting or automation apps to do this.

It will need to be a listener that listens for "issue commented", checks if it is on an Epic, works out which Confluence page it should go on to, and then uses a REST call to add the comment.

Oh, and as an example, there's something that does it the other way around at https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/comment-on-jira-issue-for-linked-confluence-page

Thank you. If I have to update the confluence page and it will update the epics, I think I'm ok with that. My end goal is that I only have to update *one* place and all my artifacts are updated automagically. 

I'll snag one of my admins and look into this!
