ConfiForms has a lot of various field types to help you with building your data forms. And it has a very sophisticated system to retrieve the values stored, including accessing rich objects such as Page, User and other referenced Records when used together with "smart fields"

Warning

Accessing values using Velocity syntax is deprecated since ConfiForms 1.16 and not supported in 100% of cases. Please try to accomplish what you have to do using [entry.] notation

Table of Contents

Warning

If you are upgrading from 1.30 and you have configurations using "virtual functions" which collect the data from multi-select fields then please be aware, that the standard behaviour has chnaged to return ID's, and NOT labels of the fields

If you need to have labels then a transform operation is needed. See "transform" function in Virtual functions for details

But, basically, you will need to call on your multiselect field something like this (for example, and assuming your multiselect field is called "mymultiselectfield"):

Code Block
mymultiselectfield.transform(label).asArrayMultiSelect

Before 1.30

Code Block
mymultiselectfield.asArrayMultiSelect

was returning field labels, now (without a transformation) it returns ID's

 

...

Info

Accessing rich properties is also supported in ConfiForms Field macros. Giving myfield.subproperty as a field name is totally valid and supported. For smart fields this can be of any level deep, but please keep in mind the performance issues this might cause (as values are lazy loaded for each sub-field for "smart" fields).

Warning

Make sure the [entry.myfield] is actually stored the way you see it, as sometimes Confluence editor injects some "invisible to user" blocks of HTML, such as spans... and the text becomes actually something like [entry.<span>myfield</span>] which makes it not to work correctly with ConfiForms parser.

The easiest way to see that text is clean is by looking at storage format of the page (using Tools menu and then clicking on "View Storage format" or by installing a free add-on from Atlassian which enables you to see raw storage format directly in the Confluence editor - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor/server/overview)

Depends on a field referenced. If [entry.myfield] or just "myfield" is referenced then in most cases it acts as text.

But with "smart fields" you reference a record in another form and that means through this reference you can get ANY field of that record, including other smart fields. That said, you can build quite a property graph to get any value, which is lazy loaded for you

Properties you can access totally depend on a structure of the record in the form you reference. You can access ANY field value through this notation, including other smart fields which will be lazy loaded for you.

Webservice backed fields

As with "JIRA issue" fields you can access ANY property returned by the web service for the option you map with the field.

For example:

Code Block
[
  {
    id: 1,
    name: "Alex",
    sn: "E123"
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    name: "Vlad",
    sn: "C100"
  }
]

You can map the structures of an array to be used as options for the web services backed fields in ConfiForms

Assuming your field is called "myfield"

then to access the properties you will need to put the following expressions

Code Block
myfield.id
myfield.name
myfield.sn

There is also a synthetic property called "label" for the field what you use as "label" in your web services backed field

Important note: when your web service returns a structure with ID and you map another field to be used as ID then original data will not be accessible, as mapping overrides it.

Configuring ConfiForms IFTTT actions and rules

Important note about IFTTT macros with macro bodies which are evaluated as velocity templates - there is additional context variables available

Info

Standard set of objects inside the context (Velocity templates)


context.put("entry", entry); <- ConfiForms Entry (raw)
context.put("user", user); <- Confluence user object
context.put("page", contentObject); <- AbstractPage object

From ConfiForms version 1.49.3 there are additional objects in the context:

context.put("generalUtil", newcom.atlassian.confluence.util.GeneralUtil());
context.put("res", ServletActionContext.getResponse());
context.put("req", ServletActionContext.getRequest());
context.put("action", com.atlassian.confluence.renderer.radeox.macros.MacroUtils.getConfluenceActionSupport());

which you can referece as any other variable in Velocity using velocity syntax, for example: ${page.id} to reference page id of current page
