Generate smart links based on JQL

[Randy O_Neal]

I'm trying to generate a simple smart link - or a list of smart links - in a Confluence dashboard via JQL.  I have an epic labeled Focus and another epic labeled Next,  I'm trying to come up with something that looks sort of like this:

Focus: PROJ-12345: Your average basic description

Up Next: PROJ-23456 Your average basic description

All I seem to be able to find are table-based results, such as Jira Legacy, or Jira Work Items.  These tools create tables, with a title bar, the contents, issue counts, and a refresh button... none of which I want.

I just want to generate a smart link via a JQL query, but I don't see a way to do this.  Is there a way to do this with both Jira Cloud and Confluence Cloud?

Hey @Randy O_Neal ,

I'd recommend checking this: CONFCLOUD-79437: The new Jira issue macro shows as smartlink for a single issue count with the inline option; specifically, the workaround part:

Using the Jira legacy macro as the workaround for the single-issue project with "Total issue count" selected for the "Display options"

OR

Conduct a JQL search in Jira to find a single issue. Then, copy the link directly from Jira and paste it onto the Confluence page.

You still probably won't get what you're looking > the result will be this: 

But I cannot think of anything else atm 🤔

Cheers,
Tobi
