  • ConfiForms plugin could not replace JIRA for you

    This is very important to understand. ConfiForms is not a replacement to JIRA or any other issue tracking system. However, it could be easily used as one, but keep in mind the dataset size and the complexity of the forms you are building.


    The original purpose of ConfiForms plugin is to allow customers to store structured data within Confluence. We strongly advice you to try to avoid forms with 5000+ rows, or better put, to avoid pages with forms that have 5000+ rows (as you may have many forms on the same Confluence page) There is no limit on a number of forms you can create, and no limit on number of rows, but our tests show that the plugin works best then a number of rows is up to 2000 (per form) and dataset is smaller than 10MB. We strongly suggest to keep the datasets sizes as small as possible, splitting the data between forms or using other external storages, such as JIRA as an example.


  • I could not enable the plugin (Plugins are disabled during startup due to unsatisfied dependencies errors)
    We depend on Confluence Workbox, to send internal notifications. Please make sure you have  Workbox – Host Plugin (version 4.0.2 or can be other version, depending on your Confluence server version) is enabled! 

    This might be the log entry you see in the Confluence general log:

    Code Block

    Or something along these lines

  • I could not edit CondiForms ConfiForms Field Definition macros - the loading icon keeps spinning.
    This is a known issue, when you have Brikit Theme plugin version 2.0.0 and up till 2.0.4, where the issue has been fixed (Brikit was braking the editor JavaScript scripts execution and blocked ConfiForms scripts from running). Please update your Brikit plugin to version 2.0.4.

  • How to get the number of pages using ConfiForms?
    On a database level this operation is quite simple. Below you can find the queries which can help you to do this

    Code Block
    select count(*) from os_propertyentry where entity_name = 'confluence_ContentEntityObject' and entity_key like 'confiform_content%';

select distinct entity_id as "content_id" from os_propertyentry where entity_name = 'confluence_ContentEntityObject' and entity_key like 'confiform_content%';
