creating multiple issues in confluence

[Daniele Battistoni]

Hi There,

I’m trying to create multiple issues directly from the table in Confluence.

As you can see from the snapshot attached, the summary and the description are linked to the respective columns, but in the preview below, it says: the following issues will be created: 1,2,3, and so on…the question is: why it doesn’t show what it’s written in the description filed, meaning this is the description for user story…?

This is the result:

If then I open one of these issues just created, you can see the description field is populated, even if it’s not in the issue title where I would like to have it

Do you have any idea about why?

Thanks,

Daniele

Hi Daniele,

I'm pretty sura that I can help, but could you please specify which information you want to be displayed where?

Hi Sebastian,

In the preview the description field I thought it should have said "this is the description for user story 1", "this is the description for user story 2" and so on, instead of saying 1,2,3,...

I attended a video course, and this is what happened to him:

You see how do they look different?

Even in the last snapshot, you see where I ended up with "this is the description for user story 5"? in the description field below...while, instead, the teacher, in the last attached snapshot, ended up with "this is description for user story 3" in the above section as the title...

I hope I was clear enough,

Thanks in advance,

Daniele

Hi Daniele,

I hope I'm getting the point now - you want the input of the respective field of the column "description" in your Confluence table to (also) equal the "summary" field in the respective new issue?

Independent of my assumption being true or false, I have two remarks:

1. It seems that there are differences in the form and filling of the column "user story" in your table as compared to the table of/in your video tutorial.
2. Have you checked your screens/screen schemes/issue type screen schemes? It seems as if these differentiate as well in your version and the version in the video screen shots.

Let me know if my assumption(s) are true or false and I try to help you further.

Hi Sebastian,

yes, you are right, that's what I would have liked to do.

Don't know whether the following snapshots might be useful or not...

However, anything seems wrong to me, what do you think about it?

Please let me know if I can provide you with more details.

Thanks in advance,

Daniele

Hey Daniele,

found the (re)solution to your problem together with @Maximilian Semler where we expected it. The problem has several layers - we tested it in our Confluence- and Jira-environment. One thing is, that it's enough to mark only one word and then choose the respective sources.

But, nevertheless, then we had another problem - the description field read "1", "2", "3", and so on. So we excluded the numeration of the rows. That worked pretty well.

What we didn't figure out is, what to do if the row numeration is obligatory for you.

Hope this helps.

All the best and stay healthy,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

thanks for the answer.

The row numeration is absolutely not mandatory for me, it was just an example.

The thing is that I've not figured out how to make it.

I mean, it seems that if I exclude the numeration of the row I'm not able to create multiple issues anymore, but with them, I'm not able to avoid the system from taking the row numbers as summary.

I don't know how did you do...

However, don't worry Sebastian, it's nothing that much important, it was just a curiosity...

Thanks,

Daniele
