Issues with Confluence Page Excerpts with Jira Issues - Suggestions?
Asked by Kim Jakub-Rayfield:

I am creating Confluence Page excerpts which will have Jira Issues in them with Columns. I would like the Confluence Page excerpts to then be visible with those Jira Issues (and the data in the Columns) on another page. Unfortunately, the Jira Issues are displays as a very long link and not the visual from the excerpt I was hoping for...

Is there a trick or a step I am missing to make this happen?

It seems that it is a standard behavior for the native Excerpt/Excerpt Include macros. They don't fully support outcomes of macro generated tables.

If you use our [Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-charts-spreadsheets-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app in your company (it provides such popular macros as Table Filter, Table Spreadsheet, Table Transformer), please switch to the [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/comparison-with-native-page-properties-report-excerpt-include-macros-188614456.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros. They will be efficient for your case.

Welcome to the Community! Do you have a screenshot where you can share a test of your use case? You can insert Jira issues in a Confluence page by pasting the Jira issue link (e.g. [https://\<your-instance-name\>.atlassian.net/browse/\<Jira ID\>](https://aclsandbox.atlassian.net/browse/CCP-58), or by using the 'insert elements' (+) and selecting the insert Jira issues macro:

body: Thank you! I am able to do what you have suggested, however, I am attempting to display the table columns that are displaying on the Confluence Page in the excerpt and those are not visually displaying. A link is displaying instead. I am going to try the other macros suggested and see if they work. Appreciate your response!
