Tries to format value as currency using either default or given format

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html

If value could not be formatted according to given format then value will be returned as is

Info

Can be used with any number (and not only currency)

myfield.formatCurrency(JAVA_FORMAT)

myfield.formatCurrency()

(default decimal format is used if empty)

[entry.myfield.formatCurrency(JAVA_FORMAT)]

(no quotes, JAVA_FORMAT could be empty, default will be used)

[entry.myfield.formatNumber(JAVA_FORMAT)]

[entry.myfield.formatNumber(# ###.##)]

[entry.myfield.formatNumber(# ###.00)]

asFilteredBy(FILTER)

Very powerful function to extract the value by given filter (mostly used for multi-value fields).

Especially useful with Multi-select fields which are of type "smart fields", the ones referencing other forms and fields

Example:

You have one form which has a field called "mf" which holds multi-value references to another form which has the following fields: name, surname, position

Then... when showing the data from the first form you can actually show only specific choices.

For example:

  • entry.mf.asFilteredBy(name:Alex) - to show only persons selected with name Alex only (here "name" references a field in 2nd form)
  • entry.mf.asFilteredBy(surname:Ve*) - to show only persons selected with surnames starting with "Ve" only (here "surname" references a field in 2nd form)
  • entry.mf.asFilteredBy(position:CEO) - to filter OUT all those selected who are NOT in CEO position
entry.mf.asFilteredBy(FILTER)

Filter should be in a format:

property:filter

[entry.mf.asFilteredBy(name:Alex)]

The following filters are supported:

  • value*
  • *value
  • *value*
  • *
  • [empty]


trimAllSpaces

Removes all the spaces in the field value.

Can be used when creating page labels automatically from ConfiForms field values and want to ensure the value is taken as a label and not split by spaces into differenet labels

trim(NUMBER)

trimLeft(NUMBER)

Trims the value, Skips "n" first symbolsentry.trim(10)[entry.trim(10)]
trimRight(NUMBER)Trims the value, Removes "n" last symbols

asAttachment

asAttachment(n)

You can reference a particular attachment stored in Confluence and linked though ConfiForms Field (either File or Attachment picker)

n - is the index of the attachment stored/linked using ConfiForms Field. Index starts with 0. When no index is specified, then the 1st attachment is taken (1st attachment is stored with index 0)

This means that

Code Block
asAttachment = asAttachment(0)

This function is a "bridge" to get other properties of the attachment stored. See below.

entry.asAttachment

[entry.asAttachment]

[entry.asAttachment(0)]

[entry.asAttachment(1)]

asAttachment.base64

asAttachment(1).base64

Returns bas64 encoded string of the file contents in this attachmententry.asAttachment.base64

[entry.asAttachment.base64]

[entry.asAttachment(0).base64]

[entry.asAttachment(1).base64]

asAttachment.ANY_PROPERTY

asAttachment(n).ANY_PROPERTY


Where ANY_PROPERTY is the "get" methods of the class Attachment https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/5.9.1/com/atlassian/confluence/pages/Attachment.html

Examples:

Code Block
asAttachment.displayTitle
asAttachment.id
asAttachment.downloadPath
asAttachment.contentType 
 
and many other properties of the Attachment object
 
asAttachment(1).displayTitle - also perfectly valid and will try to get the display title for the attachment stored "second" in the field


asUsers

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.39.2

Converts multi-user / multi-owner (ownedBy field in ConfiForms) field values to list of user objects, which can be then transformed into the desired output as needed, for example:

Code Block
ownedBy.asUsers.transform(email)

Any property of the User object (see below) is accessible




asUser.username

asUser.fullName

asUser.email

asUser(n).username

asUser(n).fullName

asUser(n).email

 When working with multi-select user control/field and want to get a particular user info

Warning

Only works with Multi-select user field!



asEntryRef(REF_TO_ENTRY)
ConfiTemplates Smart Template

Example:

This will return

When this is necessary?

The use case is when you use it within an IFTTT or have a ListView which has another ListView inside and you want to prevent ConfiForms from applying the context variables onto the sub-lists


The function can be used with any field type (as long as the field exists) and actually the following constructions are perfectly valid


As you can see we apply the function on the same ID field (exists in every ConfiForms record) and the parameter you give in is the important bit in all this...

So, the parameter (PARAM) you give to asEntryRef is wrapped into the brackets and returned:


You can also use "_func" pseoudo property of a record as a bridge to "asEntryRef" function when the "id" is not available (assigned)

This is always available



asVelocityExpRef(VALUE)

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.50.1

Same as asEntryRef, and asIFTTTRef, but returns a value wrapped in ${}, like ${VALUE}

asJSONConverts a value to JSON and allows to access JSON object properties

entry.myfield.asJSON.someJSONProperty

entry.myfield.asJSON.anotherJSONProperty


asRef(VALUE)

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.53.8

Same as asEntryRef, and asIFTTTRef, but returns the exact experssion as you have put inside the arguments

asRef(VALUE) will return VALUE



asUserProfile

Converts to User profile (or tries to, if a given field value can be resulved as a user object)

Available user profile properties (all standard ones, available in the profile) to reference are:

  • phone
  • im
  • website
  • position
  • department
  • location

entry.somefield.asUserProfile.phone

entry.somefield.asUserProfile.im

entry.somefield.asUserProfile.website

entry.somefield.asUserProfile.position

entry.somefield.asUserProfile.department

entry.somefield.asUserProfile.location


Info

where "somefield" should get resolved into username (can be user field)

[entry.somefield.asUserProfile.phone]

[entry.somefield.asUserProfile.im]

[entry.somefield.asUserProfile.website]

[entry.somefield.asUserProfile.position]

[entry.somefield.asUserProfile.department]

[entry.somefield.asUserProfile.location]

asListExtracts values of a list and converts to a comma-separated string, see below for examples on transform and asList

asAttachments

Converts the file/attachment field values into the array of Attachment objects

https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/5.9.1/com/atlassian/confluence/pages/Attachment.html



transform(property_name)

Converts the list of some objects into the list of values for the given property

For example:

Code Block
[entry.myfile.asAttachments.transform(id)]

When "myfile" is a field of type file/attachment, a function "asAttachments" will convert it's values into the list of Attachments objects and then function "transform" will extract and "id" property of each Attachment object and will put it into the resulting list

Code Block
[entry.myfile.asAttachments.transform(id).asList]

Same as in previous example, but we convert the otput into a comma separated list of attachment IDs

Below, is another example, which returns a result of ID's, but wrapped into quotes

Code Block
[entry.myfile.asAttachments.transform(id).asArray]


Function "transform" can be used on a multi-value field.(on Multi-select fields, which hold the structure of ID and LABEL (properties "id" and "label")) See Accessing field values and properties and dropdown fields

For example, to get the list of dropdown IDs

Code Block
[entry.mymultifield.transform(id)]

To get the list of dropdown labels

Code Block
[entry.mymultifield.transform(label)]


To get the list of User's full names for multi-user field (User field has properties: fullName, username, email, lastName, firstname) See Accessing field values and properties

Code Block
[entry.mymultiuserfield.transform(fullName)]

same as above, but in "coma-separated" string

Code Block
[entry.mymultiuserfield.transform(fullName).asList]
Warning

Important!

Transform function also works with smart fields, and could transform the fields / values referenced from another form through the reference (a field) in your current form

See an example here: Using transform function with smart fields



add(number)

Adds a numeric value to a field (can substract as well, if a negative number is given)

Code Block
[entry.somedatefield.timestamp.add(86400000)]

to add 1 day to the date (value of 86400000 is in milliseconds)

Code Block
[entry.somedatefield.timestamp.add(-86400000)]

to add -1 day (substract a day) to the date (value of 86400000 is in milliseconds)




multiply(number)

Multiplies value by given parameter value

Code Block
[entry.somedatefield.multiply(2)]


divide(number)

Divides value by given parameter value 

Code Block
[entry.somedatefield.divide(2)]


split(separator)

Info

separator could be a space, like:

Code Block
split( )

Split is an intermediate function to help you with transforming the string values into the arrays of strings, which then can be used with "array type" virtual functions

For example:

We have a field type called "mytextfield" and want it's content to be passed to JIRA as labels. For this we need to make sure we split the entered text by "space" and then use a corresponding virtual function to transform the object inti the desired representation

Code Block
mytextfield.split( ).asArrayMultiSelect

Any other "array type" function can be applied. For example to get the count, one will write the following

Code Block
mytextfield.split( ).asCount


hasChanged(fieldName)

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.36

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.50.1
- can be used in Field Definition Rules as well!

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.51.6
- you can use it without specifying property to track ANY field change.

By using

Code Block
hasChanged():true

Now you can easily understand if the field value has been changed or not. Can be used ONLY (from ConfiForms version 1.50.1 can be used in field definition rules as well!) in IFTTT macro, in "condition" parameter. Only in this case, we have a previous snapshot of the data for this record. And the function is applied on the whole entry and not on the field.

Example in IFTTT macro:

Image Modified

The result of the function is a boolean, "true" is returned when the value for the field is different from current, and "false" is returned otherwise

Example:

Code Block
hasChanged(somefield):true

or

Code Block
hasChanged(somefield):true AND hasChanged(anotherfield):false

In addition to "hasChanged" function, ConfiForms has a support to get "previous state" of the record. And that is using a "virtual property" called: "_previousState"

Below example has the same result as "hasChanged(somefield):true"

Code Block
!somefield:[entry._previousState.somefield]

This expression could be also used with IFTTT macro condition to determine if the value has been changed, but also allows you to create a more sophisticated filters like the one below:

Code Block
hasChanged(mynum):true AND mynum:<[entry._previousState.mynum]

Checks if the value has been changed and if the previous value was bigger than current

Warning

This is available only in IFTTT and this also means that the synthetic property _previousState is available for you to us ein filters

For example - we want to run another IFTTT when the record status has changed from one value to another

(when "MyStatus" status field has changed it's value and the value was changed from "requested" to "development")

Code Block
hasChanged(MyStatus):true AND MyStatus:development AND _previousState.MyStatus:requested






asUserLink

asUserLinks (same as above, but works on user multiselect fields)

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.36.3

Also, there is a function which renders it as a macro: useful for usage withing a template or LIstView/CalendarView

asUserLinkMacro

Generates a macro

Code Block
<ac:link><ri:user ri:userkey="USER_KEY_HERE"></ac:link>

and renders the HTML out of it

USER_KEY_HERE is looked up by function based on the username given
 entry.myfield.asUserLink

[entry.myfield.asUserLink]

on multi-select user fields use

[entry.myfield.asUserLinks]

asLink

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.37.1

asLinks

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.38

asLink(Some label)

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.44

Also, for collections: function "asLinks"

 entry.myfield.asLink

entry.myfield.asLink(I am a link label)

[entry.myfield.asLink]

[entry.myfield.asLink(I am a label)]

acLink

acLinkMacro

Renders a link to local resource

acLinkMacro functions generates a macro only (without rendering to HTML)

Code Block
<ac:link><ri:page ri:content-title="SPACEKEy:PAGE_TITLE"/></ac:link>




parseDate(FORMAT)

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.36.6

Tries to format date fields in the specified format, expects date format as in http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html


Example on how to parse and format a date from JIRA issue

Code Block
jirakey.fields.created.parseDate(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ).formatDate(yyyy-MM-dd)

In this example we have a field called "jirakey" in ConfiForms Form, and access a property "created" from JIRA issue.

Then we parse the created date, using the format JIRA uses when returning the date/time field via REST API and then we format the date using another virtual function called "formatDate" to show it as year-month-day only

entry.myfield.parseDate(JAVA_FOMAT)

[entry.myfield.parseDate(JAVA_FOMAT)]

Returns a timestamp, which you can transform to date using formatDate function or use as a filtering criteria

join

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.38

You can join the field values into one string. Works best on multi-select fields


Form example (expect a field to be a multi-select field here):

Code Block
id:[entry.mymultifield.transform(id).join( OR id:)]

Will extract the ID's from a record stored, and then join (concatenate) those ID's into one string, separated by OR id:

Something like this (when mymultifield contains 2 items):

Code Block
id:1234-5678-9000-1234-5678-9000 OR id:1234-5678-9000-1234-5678-9001
entry.myfield..join(SOME VALUE)[entry,myfield.join(, Hello: )]

asJIRAIssue

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.40

Helps you to transform the values saved to Page objects when used on Page/BlogPosts multi-select fieldentry.myfield.asPage.spaceKeyAny property from a Page object, see Accessing field values and properties

userInSecurityGroup

securityGroupHas

Status
colourGreen
titlefrom v. 1.40

Both functions allow you to check if a particular user belongs to a given security group or not

Examples:

If field "u" is holding a username and we want to check if this user belongs to "confluence-administrators" group

Code Block
u.userInSecurityGroup(confluence-administrators)

If field "sg" holds a name of a security group and we want top check if a username is in this security group

Code Block
sg.securityGroupHas(sash)

In the example below we check the same, but for currently logged in user

Code Block
sg.securityGroupHas()

Both functions return "true" when condition is matched and "false" otherwise

(without quotes)


This means that if you need to put a filter to check the condition, the full expression will look like:

Code Block
u.userInSecurityGroup(confluence-administrators):true

or

Code Block
sg.securityGroupHas():true


get(index)

Status
