• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-78239 - affects pages that are created and then moved to some dedicated place. Works for a number of pages, but starts to break when the number of moved pages grows.
• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-79048 - There is a bug in Confluence that breaks ConfiForms functionality around copy/move pages (affects moving/copying pages with children only). You will need to update Confluence to get this fixed. See mentioned issue on Atlassian Jira

Published versions and changes

Since ConfiForms app version 2.x and version 3.x we publish release notes here 

Version 3.15.6

• Fixed issue with filtering engine not correctly filtering values when parallel filtering is used and expressions have "queryAnd.." type of functions or use security groups related functions

Version 3.15.5

• Fixed issue with smart/dynamic fields when the configuration uses [entry._page] as a reference to the form's page
• Fixed issue with incorrectly cached list of records when loaded as smart fields choices

Version 3.15.4

Version 3.15.2

• Improved parsing of complex expressions that involve replacement of values or use of evaluateFormula or iterateAndPrint functions
• Improved filtering engine performance by switching to parallel streams. This improved performance by 80-100% on certain form configurations

Version 3.15.1

• Fixed issue with a lost locale for the user doing the REST API calls which resulted in dates being parsed with a "server locale" which could have provided some unexpected results and deviations
• Fixed issue with NPE in filtering engine when used with multi-labels/multi-values fields
• Fixed issue with ConfiForms Filter Control when used with dynamic dropdowns and wildcards matching is enabled

• Improved performance in filtering for multi-select fields and free text searches
• Fixed issue with setting the multi-user field not rendering the user's avatar

Version 3.14.4

• Compatibility issue with Confluence 9.x and ConfiForms CSS rules macro (blocked methods due to missing whitelisting https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/configuring-the-velocity-allowlist/)

Version 3.14.3

• Fixed issue with forms having multiple file/attachment fields

Version 3.14.1

• Repackaged to support Confluence 7.19.x as lowest version

• Please note that ConfiForms is now more strict with the expressions that you have for filtering or accessing values - it does EXACTLY what you ask, and tries to provide the value for the property/field you ask.  Previous behaviour was as follows - the "latest resolved value" has been returned as a result. Now this has changed and ConfiForms will not do that, but will return the value for the property that you have asked For example - you have something like this: A dropdown field named "mySelect" and was having the expression like this [entry.mySelect.something] ConfiForms before the 3.14 will return a value for [entry.mySelect], ConfiForms version 3.14 and newer, will return an empty value, as there is no property as "something" in the dropdown field (see Accessing field values and properties), neither "something" is a function (Virtual functions)
