This article explains how to display Jira issues in a table format in Confluence page using Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI) and Jira Command Line Interface (CLI).

Instructions

Follow the below steps:

• Use getIssueList to get the issues from Jira and storePage to create or update in a Confluence page. 
  
  Execute the following action. 
  
  

  -a run -i "myjira -a getIssueList --jql project=project_key --columns 1,2,3,4 --outputType html -f @temp" -i "myconf -a storePage --replace --space space_key --title title_name  --parent @home --noConvert -f @temp"
  

  
  The parameters used in the CLI action are 
  
  --jql  input the JQL query which you want to display the list on the confluence page.
  --columns specify the column names you want to display.
  --outputType specify the output format type. Valid values are: text, table, HTML, JSON, variables.
  --space enters the space key.
  
  Refer to the below example where a Confluence page is created with Jira issues based on the JQL used.
