[Cloud] Can't create multiple issue from confluence table

[Pierre Noël]

Hi,
I used to be able to create multiple issue from a confluence table before the update. (The one which added a side panel giving more option when creating Jira Issue).

I still have the option to "Create a Jira Issue" when I highlight text in my page. (I already created an issue from the first row but even without it the option is not available)

It opens the side panel immediately with the option to fill the fields needed for my Jira Project but only for one issue.

I tried to highlight the whole table or even two rows, it still creates only one issue.

Before the update I had the small modal making me able to check "Multiple Issue from this table" and binding the two column of my table to the Jira Issue fileds "Title" and "Description". It could even linked the issue created to the Parent Epic if it was on the same page.

Do you have any clue to bring back this feature ?

Hi @Pierre Noël

Welcome to Atlassian community!

From the problem summary, I understand that you are unable to create multiple jira work items.

I just tested on my site and I was able to create multiple jira issues from the table as referenced in the screenshot below:

I guess you are trying to create multiple jira issues from table in edit mode, can you please try the same in preview or published mode that should work.

If you still encounter issues, and since you are on standard plan please have your admin raise a support ticket here https://support.atlassian.com/ to address the issue further.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Thanks, that was it.
And I can correctly map my fields with the columns.

Now waiting for the comeback of linking automatically the parent to created issue.

Did you try selecting it all like this and then click the create jira ticket button? For me it pops up on the right side and separates everything as shown in the image.

Yes, as written in my first post I tried it, but it directly shows the side panel to create only one issue. Here's a quick gif for example.

Interesing @Pierre Noël 👀

I've just tested this but I also cannot get the button to create multiple items from table.

This update was introduced recently (February 2025): https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-articles/NEW-A-better-way-to-create-Jira-work-items-from-Confluence/ba-p/2934553
Maybe you can ask an Atlassian team member there or you could reach out to Atlassian Support to see if that's a bug or 'system design' 😅

Cheers,
Tobi

Edit : It suggest me to contact my confluence admin or post here soooo ...
I'll wait other replies if someone has more info.

@Pierre Noël I've asked someone from Community Support team to chime in here, so I'm guessing they'll get back to you within a couple of days.
