Why not all Jira fields are seen in Confluence Macros?

Hi @UdayKiran 

This depends on how you are using the macro. 

In the macro itself you will need to add the columns needed for fields "outside standard" to be shown. In the macro Insert JIRA Issue/Filter press Display options at the bottom of the macro dialog. There you can add columns to be displayed.

If you are using a filter in the macro search (JQL) you must make sure the filter itself contains the fields (columns) you need. A filter can be saved with its own column configuration, and if this configuration lacks certain fields they will not be available in e.g., Confluence.

Hi @Tim Kopperud ,

thank you for the reply.

Are you suggesting that if the required fields are part of the original JQL, i should be able to see the fields in Confluence?

Hi @UdayKiran 

Not in the JQL in itself, but when a JQL is saved in a filter the filter can be configured to which columns (fields) to return. It is configured in the filter Columns setup. See image below.

Are you using filter for search in the macro, like filter = "my filter",  or have you written the the query wanted directly into the macro search field? 

Have you included the wanted fields in Display options? Only the 11 fields you see in the image below are shown by default. You can add more fields by selecting them from the dropdown. 

The image below shows that I have added two more fields, Parent and Vendor. Ref yellow markings. Now these fields will also be shown in the macro result.
