How to display jira custom field in confluence macro?

[hoblerone]

I have a local JIRA + Confluence installation (6.4.3 and 5.7.1). I want to view my JIRA issues in confluence, with the issues macro.

My custom field column (custom field type, actually) that shows correctly in JIRA is completely empty in Confluence.

Since there is no documentation whatsoever how the link between J+C works: what do I have to implement, so that my custom field values show in Confluence as well?

I tried implementing RestAwareCustomFieldType (maybe the access works via Rest?) and also added an XML velocity template to the field in JIRA (maybe the link uses the XML representation?), but still nothing is shown.

It would be VERY NICE to add some documentation about this, and about how the J-C-link works.

Every boot is good. This morning, without even a redeploy (just a restart), suddenly the values show. WHY, I have no idea, but let this QA be the documentation then.

edit: the XML view seems to be enough for it to work.
