titleDevelopment plans...
  • (Smart) multi row field - new field type to help with "inline" creation of master-details structures
  • "ConfiQuery" field type to help you to link other form's data and associate it with a particular field/row in your current form
  • New ConfiForms IFTTT action Rename attachment 

Version 2.9.0 (development)

  • Rendering performance and memory consumption improvements. Less buffering while rendering, results are now streamed to clients a lot faster

Version 2.8.3

  • Fixed issue with incorrect focus on the form when form has rules
  • New service to help with data migration (part of Migration Assistant). Helps to analyze what is stored under page/multi-page/attachment picker and file field types in ConfiForms

Helps you to see what version of the attachment is used by ConfiForms record, what page is referenced and it's internal IDs and attributes

Code Block
/ajax/confiforms/rest/storage-details.action?pageId=819201&formName=f&fieldName=mypage

- pageId: where the form is defined
- formName: name of the form
- fieldName: (optional) to limit the output to analyze only the specific field and it's data

  • Improved support for form's having their names in non-latin characters (not recommended, please try naming your forms using latin characters with (or without) numbers)
  • Introducing "Migration Assistant" - experimental feature to help you with data migration between different servers, and fixing the "broken" references to external resources (pages/blogposts) and files

Option needs to be enabled in the app's general settings first and then can be accessed from any form's Admin UI

...

Version 2.8.2

Version 2.8.1

  • Performance optimizations to render "link", "attachment" and autonumber fields quicker
  • More strict validations of IFTTT configurations (not allowing certain IFTTTs to have inner IFTTTs, as it is simply incorrect)

Remember that you need to allow export and search on your ConfiForms Form (Definition) and you form shall not be set to shown only own records to non-admin users. Also you shall have ConfiForms views built over your form. As Confluence search index is disconnected from ConfiForms data then you need to make sure you inform Confluence about the need to reindex the contents - This can be done with the help of ConfiForms IFTTT Integration Rules macro with action set to "Force page to reindex". Please be aware that this action only suggests Confluence indexer to index the page, and actual indexing might take a while to start and complete

Code Block
@ExportAsService({ConfiFormsStorageComponent.class})
@Named("confiFormsStorageComponent")
Code Block
public interface ConfiFormsStorageComponent {

  String findFieldValueById(ContentEntityObject contentEntityObject, String formName, String id, String fieldName);

Known issues

If you are planning to update to latest LTS or latest 8.2.x/8.3.x version of Confluence and have ConfiForms forms with a number fields that exceed 256 then please vote for this issue to be fixed https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-88259 and the workaround suggested

If you are using Confluence 8.4.1 and later then please see this bug https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-92486  and the workaround suggested

Info

Basically to make ConfiForms work as you use to on Confluence 8.x you will need to have at least the following properties adjusted/added into confluence.cfg.xml 

Code Block
<property name="struts.multipart.maxStringLength">100000</property>
<property name="struts.multipart.maxFiles">1000</property>

These allow the forms to have 1000 fields and the field value accepted could be more than 100000 bytes

You may adjust those to your needs, see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-88259 and https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-92486 for the details

Version 3.1.2

  • This is a ConfiForms plugin build for Confluence 8, to avoid any issues with missing classes that arise from building the app for Confluence 7 and using in Confluence 8 (which should work, according to Atlassian, but it does not). We aim to find workaround for this in the future and continue to build one version of a plugin for both major version of Confluence. This special build is to unblock those who have migrated to Confluence 8 already and require an "immediate" version of the ConfiForms plugin, being a critical core part of their systems

Version 3.1.1

    Optional parameter: feedType
    Possible values: rss_2.0, rss_0.92, rss_0.94, rss_0.93, rss_1.0, atom_1.0, atom_0.3

Version 2.0.5

  • Re-packaged for data center compatibility (metadata). Version is waiting an approval from Atlassian (https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/DCHELP-387). ConfiForms is already fully compatible with Confluence Data Center, but is awaiting official approval from Atlassian.

Version 2.0.4

  • Recovery API now physically deletes existing records and replaces the dataset contents with what's given (this also resets autonumber sequences in a form). You can also clean up the form completely by uploading empty dataset in a format

    Code Block
    {"data":"<list></list>"}
  • Fixed issue with show/hide container on forms in dialog mode (and when ID is used as CSS selector)

  • Enhanced service to check forms storage integrity (reporting non-compliant fieldnames)

    Code Block
    [YOUR_CONFLUENCE_SERVER_URL]/ajax/confiforms/rest/storage-integrity.action?formName=<FORM_NAME>&pageId=<PAGE_ID>
  • Fixed issue with Currency field type not validating it's type by default and accepting non numeric values
  • Fields of a text type and similar are now rendered as lookups when used in ConfiForms Filter macro
  • Smart fields now support referencing field values (in addition to referencing records)
  • Introducing "_func" bridge function to enable access to virtual functions through the entry (without using any field). This is sometimes necessary when you want to create complex dynamic filters such as:

    Code Block
    field1:[entry._func.asEntryRef(entry.field2.transform(id).join( OR field1:))]

    This filter, for example, tells to find records where "field1" values match values from "field2". And both fields are multi-value fields

    mypicker.asAttachment.content.id:[entry._page.id]
  • Fixed regression issue with excessively strict field name validation

Version 2.0.3

...

Version 2.0.2

  • Optimisations in data serialization and deserialization, resulted in reducing the data storage format size up to 30% (depends on the data you store)
  • Data loading speed improved up to 15% compared to previous version (depends on the dataset / form configuration)
  • Field definition rules are processed 30% faster, especially on the configurations with many rules (30+)
  • Fixed issue with the uploading of multiple attachments of the same file
  • Entry metadata is back as a tooltip in CardView/TableView row
  • Fixed issue with IFTTT to send emails containing files having a comma in their names
  • Fixed issue with service URL mapping in web services backed fields when current context variable values, such as [entry._user] and [entry._now] were not correctly applied on the parameter
  • New field definition rules to hide (or show) any arbitrary element on the page by CSS selector based on the condition ("Show/Hide container" action type)
  • Fixed helper tools with providing mapping of database and web-service backed fields
  • Fixed issue with form printing when comments added with a Comment field with "inline comments" enabled were not printed
  • Fixed issue with auto-link generation when a reference to uploaded file is used in the pattern
  • Changed JSON export format for multi-value fields to contain "JSON" value string for the values, instead of "XML"
  • Improved and secured content search indexing for forms - now you need to enable form export  to enable the contents of a form to be searchable. Also, setting the form to "show only own records" to non-admin users disables indexing the contents of a form
  • Fixed permissions issue with Recovery API (accessible now by space admin users)

Version 2.0.1

  • ConfiForms now has a new storage layer, with much faster edit and delete operations. And with faster and less memory consuming search / filtering operations. 
    There are no limits on the dataset size per form. And the size of the record is limited by the number of characters your database can hold in a CLOB type field (ConfiForms limits are 2,147,483,647 bytes)
  • Data migration is done for your automatically when you access the form for the first time. This could take some time for the first load, depending your your dataset size

    There are methods to help you to understand how you data looks like and force the migration via migration APIs if you want to do so (accessible only to Confluence system administrators)

  • We advise you to take extra care with upgrading to version 2.x+ from 1.x branch and test your form configurations in your test environments first, before upgrading your live environments.

  • Your tables, rendered with CardView and TableView macros, will look different and use the cleaner styles as provided by AUI - https://docs.atlassian.com/aui/7.8.0/docs/tables.html

  • Your forms look cleaner as well, and also follow the guidelines and styles from AUI

  • ConfiForms is DC ready (approval is in progress)
  • Optimizations in rendering: reducing HTML markup size → faster rendering
  • All the features and changes included in 1.54.x releases, up to the latest 1.54.6, https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211860/confiforms-data-forms-workflows/version-history#b105004060
  • Data is stored in the database table "AO_CEFA84_CONFI_FORMS_ENTITY", using record per row method.
  • Rows are not physically deleted from the database when you delete a ConfiForms entry, but marked as deleted. Record contents is removed, but the ID and removal date for the entry are stayed. This allows us to "fix" the logic with auto-number re-use when last ConfiForms entry has been deleted (in ConfiForms version 1.x the last number will be reused, which is not the case anymore with ConfiForms version 2.x)
  • Backup and restore DOES NOT back up the values from ConfiForms storage. Use RAW export and recovery APIs to get the data imported
