Troubleshooting
Data Not Loading
Symptoms: Macros show “Loading…” indefinitely, or display an error message.
Solutions:
- Check Jira Assets permissions: The viewer needs at least read-only access to the object schema being queried. Ask your Jira admin to verify permissions.
- Verify filter configuration: Edit the page, open the filter configuration, and check that the Results Preview shows data. If the preview is empty, adjust your filter rules.
- Check the AQL query: In advanced mode, ensure the AQL syntax is correct and all
{Filter Name}references point to existing filters on the page. - Check Jira connectivity: Beautiful Assets requires a working connection between Confluence and Jira. If Jira is down or unreachable, macros won’t load.
“Invalid License”
Symptoms: A license error message appears instead of data.
Solutions:
- The app license has expired or the trial has ended
- Contact your Atlassian workspace admin to renew or purchase a license through the Atlassian Marketplace
Dropdown Not Showing
Symptoms: The object selection dropdown doesn’t appear on the published page.
Solutions:
- Edit the page and open the filter configuration
- Check that “Show object selection in View Mode” is enabled
- Verify the filter returns more than one result. The option is only available when multiple objects match
Table or List Shows Empty
Symptoms: The Table or List macro displays “No results” or appears empty.
Solutions:
- Edit the page and open the filter configuration (not the macro)
- Check the Results Preview. If it’s empty, the filter rules don’t match any objects
- Adjust filter rules or check if the underlying data in Jira Assets has changed
- For the List macro, ensure the filter has object selection enabled if it returns multiple objects
Slow Loading
Symptoms: Macros take a long time to load, or the page feels sluggish.
Solutions:
- Reduce results: Add more specific filter rules to return fewer objects
- Check admin limits: The Maximum Preview Results and Maximum Dropdown Items settings affect how much data is fetched
- Fewer macros: Each filter on the page triggers API calls. Consider whether you can consolidate filters or use a Table macro instead of many individual Text macros
Filter References Not Working
Symptoms: {Filter Name} placeholders show as errors in advanced mode.
Solutions:
- Verify the referenced filter exists on the same page and has the exact name you’re referencing (case-sensitive)
- Make sure the referenced filter is saved and configured. Unsaved filters won’t appear as valid references
- Filter names cannot contain
{or}characters
Images Not Displaying
Symptoms: The Image macro shows a broken image or nothing.
Solutions:
- Check that the image URL uses one of the allowed domains
- Verify the attribute actually contains a valid URL (not just a filename)
- Test the URL directly in a browser to confirm the image is accessible
