Public Facing Roadmap Suggestions

[David]

Our team is trying to be more transparent with our customers and expose the work we are doing so we don't have to answer questions about what's coming next. We use Jira Software and Confluence. The plan right now is to setup a Confluence page with sections for Next Release, In Progress and Coming Soon. 

I want these sections to use the Jira macro and pull the tickets from Jira so it's automated. I don't want to manually key these into the Confluence page.

Has anyone else done something similar and do you have any suggestions on this current approach or possibly and completely different approach?

PS: I'm looking at setting up custom fields for the issue key and summary so these can be exposed in Confluence instead of the actual key and summary fields since these would be inaccessible links for our customers. The values of the custom fields are not showing yet. I read some posts where others had this issue and one user said it took a little while but finally showed up.

@David ,

For this You need to integrate Jira and confluence using application link 

Then you can use the Jira Issue macro which allow you to fetch and display the filter issues on confluence page. Refer this Document 

If you dont want to exposer the issue key and summary then you can remove that field from macro and put the custom field which you have this details

For this you can write the automation rule which will copy the issue key and summary to another custom field which you can display in confluence page

Accept the answer if it helps

Do you know how to copy the issue key but only get the number, not the full issue key? If I copy the full issue key to a custom field, Confluence still displays it as a link to access the issue in Jira.

I need "1234", not "PROJ-1234" in my custom field.

Yes For this you need to Process the Issue key. use this smart value to get only number

{{issue.key.substring(5)}}

We struggled to keep the manually maintained roadmap in our documentation up to date, which inspired us to build a solution for public roadmaps. 

We are now starting a private beta and would love to get your feedback.
