  • Where ConfiForms stores data?
    ConfiForms stores data in page metadata table called OS_PROPERTYENTRY. Internally the data is stored as XML. As the data is stored as page metadata it becomes a part of Confluence standard backup and restrore procedure. But this also introduces the limits - we are able store (within one form) as much as the "text_val" field in "OS_PROPERTYENTRY" table can accomodate. You can have multiple ConfiForms, this limit is per form. For example, when Confluence uses MySQL database then this field type is MEDIUMTEXT which has a limit of 16MBs.

  • Who is form admin and how to remove AdminUI?
    Each ConfiForms Form is associated with a page (or a blogpost), the page where this form is defined using ConfiForms Form macro container. Administrators for this form are users who:
    • have administrative access to Confluence (Confluence admins and superusers)
    • users who have edit permissions on the page where the form is configured
    • users (users in a group) who are explicitly set to be Form administrators via ConfiForms Form parameter to set additional form admins (they might not have Edit permissions on the page)


  • Why do I see a "+" button on my form?

    This is because you are the administrator of the form and allowed to see some metadata and create records on someones behalf. Ordinal users will not see this button
  • 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.


    The original purpose of ConfiForms plugin is to allow customers to store some structured data within Confluence. We strongly advice you 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).
