Summary
We have created a table with 2 columns. One column for a document name and the other column for last modified date. Is there a way of automatically displaying a modified date in the respective rows when a document is updated?
Solution
Be mindful that customizations are not part of our support scope as per Atlassian Support Offerings. Any effort provided to support issues related to customization will be on a best-effort basis by the support engineer.
The following User Macro could help:
- Go to icon > General Configuration > User Macros
- Choose Create a User Macro
Enter the macro details template
## @param Page:title=Page|type=confluence-content|required=true|desc=Choose Page to get last modified date for #set ( $colonIndex = $paramPage.indexOf(":") ) #if ( $colonIndex == -1 ) #set ( $spaceKey = $space.key ) #set ( $pageName = $paramPage ) #else #set ( $spaceKey = $paramPage.substring(0, $colonIndex) ) #set ( $pageNameIndex = $colonIndex + 1 ) #set ( $pageName = $paramPage.substring($pageNameIndex) ) #end #set ( $requestedPage = $pageManager.getPage($spaceKey, $pageName) ) $action.dateFormatter.formatDateTime($requestedPage.lastModificationDate)- Click Add
- Use the user macro in the page
- Result example
On recent versions of Confluence (7.19.7 and later), some Velocity template modules won't be rendered in a user macro. Those modules were restricted due to security measures, which can be seen in the CONFSERVER-82741 - Variables in user macro are not resolved bug report. Please refer to the bug link for more information on it, as well as a workaround.
