titleHow do I create a chart using a cascading select list?

Currently, it is only possible to directly drive a chart with dynamic values from the first option in a cascading field. However, we do have a feature called Custom JQL that should allow you to build the charts you need. Here is an example that uses the JQL "Cascade Test" = A AND "Cascade Test" = 1 which will find only issues where the value of the cascading field is both A and 1.

titleHow can I display my Custom Charts in both Jira and Confluence?

No need to export static charts to display them elsewhere, Custom Charts for Jira and Custom Jira Charts for Confluence are two separate apps, allowing near-identical experiences so you can create beautiful reports in both places.

In Confluence you have extra functionality with User Impersonation, allowing you to do things like display reports in your Jira Service Management knowledge base.

titleIn future, my company plans to migrate from Server / Data Center to the Atlassian Cloud. Can Custom Charts be migrated to Cloud and are the features different on Cloud?

Custom Charts has identical features on Cloud, Server, and Data Center.

Migrating from Confluence Server & Data Center to Confluence Cloud works seamlessly. Simply export a page, space, or entire instance and import it to your Confluence Cloud site. When you install the Cloud version of the Custom Jira Charts for Confluence app your charts will be configured exactly as before.

Info

Note: Charts with User Impersonation enabled will be imported with User Impersonation turned off. This is to ensure that Custom Charts are secure by default and, therefore, charts must be edited and re-assigned an Impersonation User after importing.

Migrating dashboards with custom gadgets from Jira Server & Data Center to Jira Cloud isn’t currently supported by Atlassian. This feature is a top priority for our development team and we are actively working with Atlassian on this functionality.
