Can I display JIRA issues in Confluence without the hyperlinks?
Asked by Lisa Walk:

We'd like to use Confluence to create a document that includes a list of JIRA issues. The document will be public-facing, so we don't want to include the hyperlinks that display with the JIRA Macro.

Is there a way to display JIRA issues in Confluence without the hyperlinks?

body: Funny you should ask. I did this the other week for a customer. Create a new multilingual text custom field. Use the wiki renderer in a field config for the project. Enter the issue keys in the gilts wrapped by the noformat macro. Then choose that field in the confluence JIRA macro.

If scripted fields allowed wiki markup this could be automated

body: Multiline that is. Gilts was field before autocorrect struck

You will need a define your connection to JIRA in plugin configuration and then basically can make the same queries as JIRA issues plugin does, but have total control on how the result is shown (tables, cards, wysiwyg)

It can connect to any service that have REST API (basically all Atlassian products), you can also show some un-stuctured content from other services (just arbitrary HTMLs, images)

body: Hi [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630)

Is it possible to show a table view of issues with a query?

I did the same you said and it shows all of the summaries in one field.

Here is page source for it:

body: You need to set the "root" in the view to be

```
issues
```

and your fields shall be accessing the values without this prefix.

Basically setting the root means that you are iterating through the returned array of "issues", for every "rows" in issues array returned

body: Well done!

Thank you so much

comments: author: Lisa Walk
body: We don't want to publish links or anything that looks like a link. Is there a way to pull the the issue from JIRA and display it in "paragraph" style without a link?


author: Boris Berenberg
body: Take a screenshot of it and embed it in the document? Maybe export the issue to PDF and then attach that?
