This is the documentation for ConfiForms Server/Data Center app

However, this might also work for ConfiForms cloud and in most cases it does. But please see this page to understand the differences between server and cloud versions of the ConfiForms app.


You cannot downgrade from version 2.x to version 1.x automatically (without manually re-importing datasets with recovery APIs)

Upgrading from 1.x to 2.x is done for you automatically, with data migration. See release notes for the version 2.0.1

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.

If you have any questions about upgrading to ConfiForms version 2.x or have any issues, please contact us via Support Request Form

Development versions could be found here: http://vertuna.com/builds/


Since ConfiForms app version 2.x we publish release notes here 

Version 2.15.5

  • Fixed issue with use of LIMIT functionality on the view and the restrictions set by Confluence administrators on the max number of records rendered in a view (when the limit is lower than the configured maximum ConfiForms should not report the error)
  • Improved Web-service and database query backed field types to support "proxy" modes and perform dynamic requests to underlying services when necessary
  • Now it is possible to override web-service connections timeouts (ConfiForms app general settings)
  • Improved support for "Apply Filter on field" action when it is applied on a smart field which references a "choice-based" field, but is set not to have "reference to records" (smile)
  • Fixed double-escaping for field labels (affects field labels having & in their values) 
  • Fixed issue with rendering of an auto-number field value when configured to render through a smart field. Now renders correctly the number with configured pattern, not an internal value
  • Improved support of Velocity templates in ConfiForms IFTTT actions to send email/notification and the handling of an inner macros, such as PlainView (with enabled Velocity rendering). 
  • Fixed issue with CSS not applied correctly when defined in ConfiForms Field macro and used via TableView/CardView macro

Version 2.15.4

  • Fixed issue with "Lookup and set" action in ConfiForms Field Definition Rules macro that uses "[entry._count]" in parameters
  • Fixed regression issue with Velocity templating evaluation and the field values available context in particular (for empty single-value holding fields (choice based like dropdown))
  • Fixing possible XSS issues in form confirmation and success messages, in field descriptions
  • Improved our internal parser/templating engine when you reference field values via [entry.field_name] notations and when you use functions that involve [ or ] in the parameters

Version 2.15.3

  • Fixed compatibility with Confluence ToC (Table of Contents) macro when used on the page with a ConfiForms FormView (in embedded mode) and H2 is used as a header that constructs the ToC
  • New filed type: Dynamic multi-label backed by a webservice call - allows you to have value lookups against your backend systems and store multiple matching results (supports "as proxy" mode, allowing you to query your backend service dynamically)
  • Unlimited number of pages can be used for TableViewMerger macro sources (when discovered dynamically via CQL)
  • New configuration panel to help you to overview the number of pages having ConfiForms Form macros (form configurations)

  • Fixed context filling logic when PlainView is used to evaluate own macro body as a Velocity template
  • Enhanced support for ConfiForms Field macro's "filter" parameter to work in inline mode (inline edit and inline individual edit)
  • Fixed security issue with Markdown field when rendering a markup that contains links (now sanitising links that are considered harmful (executing JavaScript, for example)) 
  • Improved export functionality to support custom "headers" in exported CSV/Excel files - see more on Data Export tricks and hints ("headers" parameter) 
  • Fixed issue with rendering of certain ConfiForms views (MatrixView at the moment) that dont support "paging", and the paging limit was set by the administrator (and records number per view exceeds the limit)
  • Added support for paging in PlainView and in CleanView macros
  • Improved support for [entry.fieldname] notations that use functions that have [ or ] as parameters (For example: [entry.f1.replaceWith([,”).replaceWith(],”)])

Version 2.15.2

  • Fixed inline search for ListView
  • Implemented a workaround for the issue with ConfiForms content extractor on Confluence 7.x. The issue seems to be with Confluence itself, as when ConfiForms extractor is enabled the text files stop being indexed and searchable. 
  • Fixed issue with ConfiForms IFTTT to create new entry and transfer record "ownership" to new owners
  • Fixed issue with auto-focusing on the 1st form's field when ConfiForms FormView (in embedded mode) is used no matter if the option to set "auto-focus" is used or not
  • Fixed JS issue with initialization of "Copy record" function when Edit Controls are used in compact mode and with dialog mode
  • Fixed issue with ValueView when it is set to aggregate values with defined custom field label and "show with label" parameter is enabled 
  • New "view" macro for ConfiForms - MatrixView. Convenient way to show grouped and filterable data to your users.
  • Fixed issue with file preview when attempted to open from the ConfiForms dialog window. Now the file is downloaded instead (as Confluence file preview functionality seems to be not working correctly for consecutive openings, and fails to open a file for preview on second and further attempt)
  • ConfiForms IFTTTs to add/remove the watcher, add/remove restrictions and "page reindex", now correctly take the "form's content page" when no page is set in parameters
  • Fixed NPE in TableViewMerger macro when flatting is used on smart fields that reference deleted records
  • Fixed styling of a "required" attribute on fields when used in custom layouts

Version 2.15.1

  • Quick fix to address the issue of rendering <div> wrapped field values to be rendered as inline <span>, so it works nicely with customer templates using ConfiForms data
  • Fixed issue with inline edit when the result of the edit should run a custom user JavaScript (defined via ConfiForms IFTTT handler). This is now supported

Version 2.15

  • New IFTTT action to "Copy Page" and that includes the whole hierarchy if necessary! Created pages can be dynamically named and processed through the "record" they were created from. That allows you to create a truly dynamic copy of pages from a given page tree or single page
  • Parameter "_skipIfParamIsEmpty" in ConfiForms REST API now works this way that if the field is not supplied as parameter it takes the default (or existing value for the field, in case of update)... but if it is present then it takes the value given in the parameter for this field
  • Fixed inline edit for WYSIWYG field when it contains certain "HTML" tags. This required us to change the values output from wrapping it in "<span>" into wrapping it in "<div>". So, you have some very custom scripts that were relying on something like span[id^='i_holdingrow_'] you will be required to update those to be something like div[id^='i_holdingrow_']. This only affects you if you have a lot of custom scripting and customizations around the output generated by ConfiForms
  • Fixed issue with "comments" field incorrect value escaping
  • Fixed avatar CSS styling when user/multi-user field value is shown in ConfiForms views
  • Fixed issue with TableViewMerger counting incorrectly on configurations where "count_" is used and fields used as parameters for calculation expressions
  • Improved support for Jira/Jira (multi-select) in ConfiForms Filter macro
  • Improved rule "Apply filter based on criteria" to support matching against multi-value fields
  • Fixed issue with web-service backed fields which use JSON which has field names with underscores (like "sys_id", "account_id", etc). This has resulted in incorrect value lookup for "empty" fields via [entry.field_name]
  • Fixed export to Excel to truncate field values that are larger than 32K (string cell in Excel can store the value of 32767 characters max)

Version 2.14.4

Version 2.14.3

  • Inline edit for fields improvements, including the fix for the inline editor rendering for edit restricted fields + fixed rendering of the fields with labels with enabled individual edits

  • Now the parameter "Reply-To" in ConfiForms IFTTT with action set to "Send email" supports dynamic variables (via [entry.field_name] notations)
  • ConfiForms IFTTT macro with an action set to "Update entries by filter" now supports and option to "not to trigger" update events on the updated entries/records
  • Improved "hasChanged" function to work correctly on new records. Now a property that has other than null/empty value is reported as a changed value for new records

  • Introducing new virtual function to help you to format the number in the given locale: formatNumberWithLocale. See more details in Virtual functions

  • Added support for showing number of records under the "view", with configurable label
  • Fixed default label text value for "locked" form

Version 2.0.17

  • Enhanced field definition rule to "validate if exists in another form" to be able to check the reverse condition easily (when record matching the criteria given does not exist in another form)
  • Improved discovery logic between TableViewMerger and Filter macro (on some configurations the filter was applied on the first TableView found, and not on the whole TableViewMerger)
  • Improved IFTTT to create/update the ConfiForms entry to support setting the ownedBy field to empty on update/insert
  • Fixed NPE with license check routine on complex configurations involving ConfiForms IFTTT macros when ConfiForms is used with evaluation license

Version 2.0.16

  • Fixed issue with setting values for checkbox group fields when this field's values are only numeric (was calculating the sum, instead of actually setting the values from the rule)
  • Fixed NPE with ConfiForms Edit Controls macro on certain form configurations
  • File field now supports referencing "always latest" version of the attachment. Good for cases when an attachment associated with ConfiForms field gets updated and you need ConfiForms record to track that change and point at latest version of this attachment
  • Support for equality check between record's field values in filters

    Example: 
    A form with 2 fields a1 and a2 and we want to show in a table ONLY the records where the value of field a1 is equals to a2
<ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="d860f6a8-91e0-4b60-ac8b-f9d77f53aa33" ac:name="confiform-table" ac:schema-version="1">

  <ac:parameter ac:name="formName">f</ac:parameter>
  <ac:rich-text-body>
    <p>
      <br/>
    </p>
  </ac:rich-text-body>
</ac:structured-macro>

  • Support for password fields in filters (ONLY exact matches)

Version 2.0.15

  • Added support for using ConfiForms Field macros inside the ConfiForms IFTTT when sending emails/notifications on "delete" event
  • Improved support for ConfiForms Field Definition Rules when used with Datetime Interval field
  • Fixed issues with data migration routine from version 1.x to 2.x (issues with possible duplicate auto-number values)
  • Improved "fix-storage" service (see below for parameters) to handle duplicate record ids (and fix them)

    [YOUR_CONFLUENCE_SERVER_URL]/ajax/confiforms/rest/fix-storage.action?formName=<FORM_NAME>&pageId=<PAGE_ID>
  • Added support for custom form dialog initialising scripts when using edit record and form's main layout is used
  • Fixed issue in sorting of date/datetime fields when custom virtual functions are applied in sort expressions
  • Fixed IFTTT parameters to use current page when page is not specified (as per documentation)


Version 2.0.14

  • Fixed bug with field definition rules not firing when configured on the "Simple Date" field
  • Properly escaping scripts from "InfoPanel" field type default value
  • Added "simple" type for "InfoPanel" to render the field value as simple, read-only view (without any styling)
  • Fixed strong dependency on the Workbox plugin - now ConfiForms works even if this plugin is disabled (ConfiForms FAQ#Icouldnotenabletheplugin(Pluginsaredisabledduringstartupduetounsatisfieddependencieserrors))
  • Fixed issue with Add/Remove page label (attachment label) when current context was not properly propagated and _page parameter was not available in the context when used in these IFTTT actions

Version 2.0.13

  • Fixed regression issue with smart fields not showing values correctly in views
  • Optimized filtering by ownedBy and other user/multi-user holding fields to perform 4-5 times faster
  • Fixed issue with REST API representation of multi-value fields, especially comments and file/attachment holding fields
  • General initiative to remove XSS and sanitise input and output where possible and appropriate

Version 2.0.12

  • Officially approved by Atlassian version for Data Center!
  • Optimized logic for retrieving field's properties. Our tests show the rendering performance has been improved 50-75%, in some cases 100%. Affects all the "views" macros, as well as filters and sorting
  • As per request from Atlassian we now set the default limits on the number of records rendered by ConfiForms views. The default is 500 records, you can change it in macro properties parameters or set to "NO LIMIT". 
  • Fixed issue with import API for importing users list into user's multi-select field
  • Fixed issue with escaping the HTML input while generating the email message with IFTTT, which has caused problems with later parsing and including attachments properly
  • Support for wildcards (*) in navigation instructions when applying it on a JSON input. A wildcard means the first property in JSON will be taken 

    Why? Consider this JSON example. Property values can easily change here, but the structure itself is preserved

    {
      "return": [
        {
          "somehostname01": {
            "file_|-/etc/ssh/sshd_config_|-/etc/ssh/sshd_config_|-managed": {
              "comment": "File /etc/ssh/sshd_config is in the correct state",
              "pchanges": {
                
              },
              "name": "/etc/ssh/sshd_config",
              "start_time": "11:01:54.394381",
              "result": true,
              "duration": 21.685,
              "__run_num__": 0,
              "__sls__": "abb.sshd",
              "changes": {
                
              },
              "__id__": "/etc/ssh/sshd_config"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }

    Here is how you can take the "comment" field value

    j.asJSON.return.*.*.comment

    which reads to, take the value of a "j" field, transform it to JSON, then get the first property value, then get the first property of a returned value and then lookup for the "comment" property value


  • Support for "cf_force" parameter in URLs while creating filtered views. See more: Creating links to filter views from request parameters - url
  • Fixed issue with emails generated by IFTTT where file holding fields were used to show the other properties of the file (were not visible on rendered email, which is now fixed)
  • Fixed issue with incorrect escaping of the data while importing with Import API

Version 2.0.11

  • Fixed issue with removing attachments when a record with file/attachment field get's deleted
  • Fixed issue with storage auto-migration from ConfiForms version 1 to version 2 when content is re-indexed (which has caused issues due to read-only transactions used by the indexer)
  • Fixed issue with null pointer exception thrown when IFTTT was processing onDeleted events and IFTTT actions were using ConfiForms Field macros (sending email on when a record gets deleted, etc)
  • Implemented support for READ-ONLY mode in Confluence. ConfiForms becomes READ-ONLY as well.

Version 2.0.10

  • Implemented support for | in link field type, to allow setting the labels to links
  • Rules for text fields are now applied on keypress (keyup), and not on blur - this allows us to have a more responsive user experience
  • User field profile is always loaded
  • Support for user names having a spaces for multi-select user fields in ConfiForms
  • Fixed minor issue with cache initialization for data loaded from JIRA (Issues and Insight objects)
  • Introduced "remove" virtual function to support the removal of a substring or element (in case of multi-value field) from the values
  • Connection timeout for web-services connections is set to max 20 seconds
  • Fixed issue with ConfiForms Filter macro incorrectly transforming all the fields to dynamic dropdowns
  • Additional service to help with autonumbers in forms after migration (if migrated from ConfiForms version 1.x to ConfiForms version 2.0.8 or lower)

    [YOUR_CONFLUENCE_SERVER_URL]/ajax/confiforms/rest/fix-storage.action?formName=<FORM_NAME>&pageId=<PAGE_ID>

    The service makes sure there are no gaps in the records and all the missing / deleted "records" get also migrated carefully. 

  • Fixed Persian Date field bug not showing correctly the date stored (when in edit mode)

  • Fixed issue with incorrect attachment version in presentation when used with "file" field when an attachment has multiple versions
  • Fixed issue with showing file field's value when an attachment referenced has been deleted
  • Added support to ConfiForms IFTTT to send emails with field value changes. The following constructions (inside ConfiForms IFTTT macro body) show how to check for changes in fields "t1" and "t2". And only in case the value has been changed it will be printed (in this example together with it's previous value)

    #if(("[entry.t1]" != "[entry._previousState.t1]"))
    [entry.t1] [entry._previousState.t1]
    #end
    
    
    #if(("[entry.t2]" != "[entry._previousState.t2]"))
    [entry.t2] [entry._previousState.t2]
    #end
  • New feature to help with setting up customer JavaScript functions when form is loaded (dialog shown) in ConfiForms Registrations (FormView) Control macro
  • New feature to support setting up custom JavaScript functions for ConfiForms Filter macro to execute on filter form load and on filter applied
  • Fixed performance affecting issue with "infinite loop" when specifying broken/incomplete expressions in Formula/Calculated fields

Version 2.0.9

  • Improvements in data migration for forms using auto-number fields and have missing rows (deleted rows)
  • Fixed issue with User fields not showing profile pictures
  • Fixed issue with conditionally shown Edit Controls in TableViews
  • Better reporting of license incompatibility when used on environments not matching the license type

  • Fixed issue with user's data caching on Confluence version 5.7.x
  • Fixed configuration issue with ConfiForms Field Definition Rule when rule to "Look up and set the value from WebService" has been used
  • Optimized filters by page and user fields, when simple expressions are give (to match agains page id or username)
  • New virtual function "randomInt(minVal)" - Virtual functions

Version 2.0.7

  • Fixed regression issue with [empty] filters applied on user fields
  • Fixed issue with rules applied on the same fields, when ConfiForms started to calculate the sums (when numbers only were given as values), instead of applying values separately
  • Support for CSS and message to show when results are empty for TableViewMerger macro
  • Edit controls and viewer controls rendering optimizations when no dynamic parameters were given
  • Optimizations in how user fields are fetched
  • Fixed backward compatibility issue with Confluence 5.5

Version 2.0.6

  • Fixed regression issue with page creation via IFTTT when scripts were not correctly loaded on a pages created with automatic ConfiForms ListView
  • Support for multi-line field values in field definition rules, when setting the values. Use \\n to form a new line in parameters to set (for values)
  • Fixed regression issue with Datetime interval fields not rendered on a CalendarView
  • Performance optimisations in filters when used on user fields
  • Performance optimisations in ConfiForms Filter macro when used with a setting to show only relevant choices
  • Fixed issue with showing/hiding fields in views when it has no value and field was given with virtual function
  • Experimental service to export ConfiForms data as RSS feed

    https://<YOUR_SERVER>/ajax/confiforms/rest/export-to-rss.action?
       pageId=<PAGE_ID>
       &f=<FORM_NAME>
       &feedTitle=<FEED NAME>
       &feedDescription=<FEED DESCRIPTION>
       &feedLink=<FEED URL>
       &entryTitleField=<FORM FIELD TO USE AS TITLE>
       &entryDescriptionField=<FORM FIELD TO USE AS DESCRIPTION>
       &entryLinkField=<FORM FIELD TO USE AS URL>
    
    
    entryTitleField, entryDescriptionField, entryLinkField - could use virtual functions and access any field property your form's field may have
    
    
    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

    {"data":"<list></list>"}
  • Fixed issue with show/hide container on forms in dialog mode (and when ID is used as CSS selector)
  • Field Definition Rules macro, when used with "Lookup and set value" action tries to "aggregate" the values it receives, and if all are numbers then sums it up. Use of formulas (expressions) in values to set parameters is supported
  • Enhanced service to check forms storage integrity (reporting non-compliant fieldnames)

    [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:

    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

  • timezoneAwareDate and timezoneAwareDateTime virtual functions to format date/datetime as timezone aware dates
  • Cleaner output of emails when rendered and sent though IFTTT macros
  • Attachments picker field enhancement to support showing of all attachments versions
  • Fixed issue with creating pages using ConfiForms when a 3rd party app called "InPlace editor" is installed
  • Added support for "Apply filter" field definition rule to work on attachments picker

    Assuming the field name for "Attachment picker" is "mypicker" and is set to show attachments from children pages, but you want to show only current page attachments (when you put FormView on a child page)
    
    
    mypicker.asAttachment.content.id:[entry._page.id]
  • Fixed regression issue with excessively strict field name validation


Version 2.0.3

  • Quick fix to address too strong check for field names in ConfiForms field names. Non-latin characters in ConfiForms field names are still supported but strongly NOT RECOMMENDED

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
