Count JIRA Issues in a Page
Last modified by Vincent Massol on 2026/08/04 21:49
Steps
The jiraCount Macro displays how many issues match a JQL query, and nothing else. You need the id an administrator gave the JIRA instance, or its URL, as described in Configure a JIRA Server. The full parameter list is in "jiraCount" Macro.
- Edit the page and place the cursor where the number should appear, which can be in the middle of a sentence.
- Insert a jiraCount Macro.
Set the id parameter to the instance id, or the url parameter to the instance URL.
- Write the JQL query selecting the issues to count in the Macro content.
- Save the page. The number of matching issues is displayed in place of the Macro.

FAQ
Does the count respect the same rights as the issue list?
Yes. The number counts only the issues the account the wiki uses to reach JIRA is allowed to see.
Can I get the count of a saved JIRA filter?
Only by writing its query as JQL: the Macro takes a JQL query, not a filter id.
Is there a way to display both the count and the issues?
Yes, with two Macro calls sharing the same query: a jiraCount Macro for the number and a jira Macro for the issues.
