Values from Custom Field not appearing in Confluence Table Filter

[Robbie Wareham]

I have created 3 custom field types via a bespoke plugin, all of which appear to work in JIRA.

However, when I use the Table Filter macro in Confluence to retrieve issues from Jira including instances of the custom field types, the column names appear, but all data is empty.  When the query is run in Jira, the issues returned all display values in these fields.

Interestingly, I have some other fields which are scripted using the Adaptavist plugin, and these are correctly displayed in the Table Filter.

I am implementing "edit" and "view" velocity templates, do I need to implement an XML resource too?

To confirm, I am using Server rather than Cloud

Hello Robbie,

Yes, you need to implement an XML template. XML template is used to export issue field values to Jira Issues macro and some other places.

[Robbie Wareham]

Thanks

[Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_]

XML template should look like this:

<customfieldvalue>
$value
</customfieldvalue>

[Robbie Wareham]

Ah, I added that to my view template, as I saw post where people were talking about customfieldvalue and assume it was HTML

LOL

Just to confirm, I don't need this in the view template as well?

[Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_]

No, customfieldvalue is needed for XML only.

@Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_ @Robbie Wareham I am facing the same issue. Can you please elaborate little bit on which template you guys are talking about, where this is and what do I need to set?? Thank you

Hi @KMuthukumar-RP,

What issue do you experience? In the case above a custom field was created using Adaptavist plugin, but the definition was not complete and the field could not be exported through Jira Issues macro.

Did you create the field by using some kind of programming, or is it a custom field of type available in Jira by default?

I'm facing the same issue. Some of the JIRA custom fields don't get displayed immediately on the confluence dashboard created using a Jira filter. 

Can someone help please?

Hello, I'm receiving the same issue on version 7.6.1. A custom field from jira is not being populated in a table created in confluence. Any guidance on how to solve this issue.

Thank You.

Hello @Nabeel Ahmed

Did you create the field by using some kind of programming (like in the initial question), or is it a custom field of a type available in Jira by default?

I have the same problem,

I created the custom field by default Jira option.

@Jira LBProAdmin did you figure this out?
