Insert a Dynamic Link to an Issue

To insert a dynamic link into a Confluence page, use the 'issue' macro with the following format: {issue:id=<issueID>}. The link visually reflects State of the issue, thus you can tell, for example, if the issue is resolved or not. Here's an example of its syntax: {issue:id=DOC-3202}

And this is what it produces:

When you move the pointer over this link, a tooltip displays even more details like assignee, number of votes, etc. This macro was inspired by our marketing team who are actively using Confluence pages to aggregate information about various tasks that are connected with YouTrack issues, so now they can just open a page and have a clear view of how things are going with this or that task at a glance.

Insert a Report

To insert a report based on a YouTrack issue query to a Confluence page, use 'report' macro in the following format: {report:project=<projectID>|query=<search query>}

For example, this creates a page that displays unresolved issues from the DOC project: {report:project=DOC|query=#Unresolved}
