Oktul Work Item Macro for Confluence

A Confluence macro that lists Jira work items for a JQL query, with the columns you choose, Assets objects as chips, and PDF and Word export.

Oktul Work Item Macro for Confluence puts a live table of Jira work items on a page. You write the JQL and choose the columns. Each reader sees the work items as they are in Jira now, within their own permissions.

What it does

  • Any Jira field as a column, including custom, Jira Service Management and other Forge app fields. One field can fill several columns.
  • Display options per column: lozenge or text, cards or names, dates or relative time, and more. See columns and display options.
  • Assets objects as chips, with icon, label and key. See Assets and Work Item Selector fields.
  • Work Item Selector fields as cards, as that app draws them in Jira.
  • Sorting from the headings, through Jira, for that reader only. See sort by a column.
  • The table in exports: PDF, Word, page history and emails, up to 300 rows. See export, page history and email.
  • Inline editing (Advanced edition), as the reader, within their permissions. See inline editing.
The macro's configuration beside the table it draws: five work items with a Work Item Selector field as work item cards and an Assets object as a chip.
The configuration and the table it gives, on the same page.

How it works

  • On the page, requests run in the reader’s browser, as the reader.
  • In an export, they run in the app’s Forge function, as the person exporting.
  • Either way, Jira applies that person’s permissions, so two readers can see different rows.
  • Nothing is cached. Each view runs the JQL again. Confluence stores only the macro’s configuration.
  • No data leaves Atlassian. The app declares no external permissions. See privacy and data handling.

Editions

Edition What it includes
Standard The table, every column and display option, sorting, paging and exports
Advanced Everything in Standard, plus inline editing of the listed fields

The edition follows your Marketplace subscription. Nothing else changes.

What it does not do

  • A reader’s sort is not saved. Other readers and exports see the JQL’s ORDER BY.
  • No jumping to a page number. Jira returns results page by page, so there is Previous and Next.
  • No cache. A large page size on a busy page means more requests to Jira.
  • No uploaded icons. A custom Assets icon shows as a generic glyph, a custom priority as its name.
  • Exports stop at 300 rows and show no icons.
  • Jira data only. It does not list Confluence content or create work items.

Before you start

  • Confluence Cloud and Jira Cloud on the same site, with the app connected to both.
  • A site administrator to install it. See install the app.
  • Edit permission on the page, to add the macro.
  • Browse permission in Jira, to see work items. For Assets, the Object viewer role.

Common questions

Does every reader see the same rows?
No. Jira applies each reader's own permissions, so two readers can see different rows.
Does the macro cache Jira data?
No. Each view runs the JQL again, and Confluence stores only the macro's configuration.
Does the table appear in a PDF or Word export?
Yes, up to 300 rows, without icons. See export, page history and email.
Can readers edit work items from the table?
With the Advanced edition, yes, within their own Jira permissions. See inline editing.
Does any data leave Atlassian?
No. The app declares no external permissions. See privacy and data handling.
