Reporting Jira information on Confluence pages
Asked by Miki:

Greeting,  
I'm trying to make a report in Confluence according to the tutorial from Atlass and I can't get the data.  
It is about the following:  
Epic report  
Steps:  
Add Jira Report  
Select Status Report -\> Next  
Select Project  
Switch to advanced -\> Jira Query "Epic Link"= IAP-107  
Title - Epic Report -\> Create  
Results = 0 issues

And if I go to create a report for the entire project, then I get the results.

Can someone help me, please?  
Thanks a lot

body: Is the IAP project a Team Managed project? If so you need to use "Parent" instead of "Epic Link" in the JQL.


author: Miki
body: No, it's not a Team Managed project. :/

Thanks a lot.

body: If you want to debug this more...

Please show us the detail of the IAP-107 issue to show us what type of issue it is, and the list of its child issues.

Please show us the type of the IAP project (Team vs. Company). This can be found in the navigation pane, and it can also be found in the View All Projects page.

And IAP-107 is Epic in that project

Thank you for sharing that information.

So, when I initially asked if it was a Team Managed project you said it was not. But when I asked to see the info, as you found out it is in fact a Team Managed project.

That is why "Epic Link" does not work but "Parent" does.

Team Managed projects don't use the "Epic Link" field. That is used only by Company Managed projects. Team Managed projects instead use the "Parent" field in the child issues to record the issue key of their parent Epic.

Atlassian is making updates to Jira Software Cloud so that in the future Company Managed projects will also use the "Parent" field instead of "Epic Link". There are two articles about changes being made to Epics:
