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

Version 2.27.12

Version 2.27.11

  • Random NPEs occurring while rendering contents on older versions of Confluence when ConfiForms is set to use parallel loading and filtering
  • New feature to enable strict validation of values a field can accept. Enabled via ConfiForms Field Definition macro for each particular field individually. Useful when you want to ensure the values entered by users gets strictly verified against the "controlled vocabulary" (registered options in choice-based fields, valid users). Some fields, such as text-based could accept any values. But you can have custom validations for value lengths, pattern matching, etc

Version 2.27.10

  • Fixed memory leak with ConfiForms content extractor caching contents for indefinite time (in a thread local)
  • Fixed issue with show/hide rules when used with a form having an "auto-align" option enabled
  • Fixed issue with storage size calculation for form's non admin users

Version 2.27.9

  • Fixed compatibility with Confluence 7.17.x and ConfiForms ListView (rendering issue related to "Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to class java.util.Set (java.util.ArrayList and java.util.Set are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')")

  • Improved ConfiForms Filter macro to work with options that have parenthesis in their values

Version 2.27.5

  • Improved support for parallel filtering of records that may have smart fields or fields that use lazy loading

Version 2.27.4

  • Fixed ORA exception with ConfiForms storage when used with Oracle database

Version 2.27.3

  • Feature flags (configurable through ConfiForms app configuration) to enable/disable parallel (multi-threaded) data loading and filtering. Might be useful to disable these features when Confluence runs on a low end machines with restricted resources (CPU, open threads, memory)

  • Optimization in data loading for the admin UI view - paged to 500 records by default, with enabled search and filter. OOM fix for data storage size calculation on low memory instances
  • Fixed issue with not checking the value for the field when "required" parameter in Smart Multi-Row is enabled
  • Field Definition rules bound to text fields (not choice based fields) now triggered on "input" event - which helps to reduce the number of useless requests sent by the app
  • Fixed issue with duplicate request being issued when the view has inline search enabled and the view uses "paging"
  • Improved data sorting performance (avg 30% faster)

Version 2.27.2

  • Fixed support for timezones and rendering dates in user's timezone (including CalendarView that now can be set to be rendered in user's timezone)
  • Improved loading and de-serialization of data for large datasets by using parallel processing
  • Improved filtering (especially on free text searches) to use parallel processing for almost all filtering expressions (excluding the ones that use _count)

  • Fixed issue with page discovery algorithm when given without a space key (on large installations it may cause thread stuck and other performance related issues)
  • Fixed bug with asUserLink and asUserLinkMacro Virtual functions
  • Dependencies upgrade based on snyk report on vulnerabilities (no critical/major vulnerabilities)
  • Fixed UI for Dynamic dropdown field configuration (misleading parameter texts removed)
  • Fixed issue with configurations that have attachment uploads and IFTTTs to update the same record

Version 2.27

  • Support for multipart/form-data requests in ConfiForms Server REST API version 1 when yo need to create/update/validate a record that has files/attachments
  • Reworked support for timezones and user timezones. Now functions report correctly times and dates when fields are set to show data in user timezones (for input and output)
  • Support for setting and resetting "comment" field value via IFTTT update
  • Support for evaluating as Velocity template all the page related parameters in IFTTTs
  • Enhanced support for file/attachment fields to be used from within smart multi-row fields

  • Improving loading performance of smart classifier referenced data
  • Fixed issue with virtual functions applied on web-service backed fields that use the same service url (but show different things and have different mapping)

Version 2.26.5

  • Move/Copy attachments will be still possible on pages that have ConfiForms forms and want to move/copy attachments from the same page even when the user does not have view permissions on the ConfiForms page (when the form is set to "allow reads" parameter, overriding explicitly Confluence page permissions model) 

Version 2.26.4

  • Rendering: Fixed issue with accessing properties of the field when it is referenced through the smart field
  • Rollback of "move attachment" IFTTT change due to incomplete implementation of possible user scenarious. Making it look broken when an attachment that is moved remains referenced in some field of a ConfiForms form

Version 2.26.3

  • Fixed regression in filtering of masked field type values when the field is set to use "numeric" or "date" field type
  • Fixed issue with double <br/> happening on comment fields when rendered

  • Fixed performance issue with pages having Smart ConfiTemplates plugin used together with ConfiForms
  • Fallback routine implemented to move an attachment via ConfiForms IFTTT to use saveAttachment/deleteAttachment methods to workaround issues cause with attachment reconciliation process (which happens with enabled collaborative edit) Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration. Important to note that this will only work on certain cases, when source page (where the form is) does not have other attachments or attachments with the same name (multiple versions of the attachment)
  • Fixed security issue with copyAttachment/moveAttachment (proper access rights checks now implemented)
  • Support for scientific notations in numbers - to be used with Supported math operators, formulas and functions

  • Regression issue fix related to handling of multi-user fields (including voting control)

Version 2.26

  • Added support for rendering QR codes and barcodes directly in ConfiForms! See barcode and qrcode functions in Virtual functions
  • Improved rendering and filtering performance of multi-value fields (we see a 10x times better performance improvements on certain (most) configurations, especially in filters)
  • Implemented an earlier check for app level configuration that disables content indexing of ConfiForms forms (option in ConfiForms app configuration). 
  • Improved support for retrieving _previousState values via ConfiForms Field macros for ALL field types
  • Improved ConfiForms Filter Control to work on Persian dates (and interval fields) + fixed filtering by these field types

  • Fixed encoding of REST APIs (server/dc) to retrieve ConfiForms data when servers are not running UTF-8 by default
  • Fixed issues with form view rendering when the form has wysiwyg or smart multi-row fields (and dialog/link rendering mode is selected)
  • Fixed issue with auto-align option when used on dialog forms
  • Improving handling of "delete attachment" routines to perform in a separate, non blocking thread
  • Improving handling of dates/datetimes when the format is given in a way that it results in a numeric value
  • Fixed bug with "Apply filter on field" not working on Insight multi-select fields
  • Improved support for ConfiForms FormView macro to be used in Confluence welcome template

Version 2.25.6

  • Hotfix version to address regression issue with field length validation

Version 2.25.5

  • Disabling strict validating (option introduced in 2.25.3) for form's configurations allows you to continue to use field names that differ with system fields by case (although, it is highly recommended to have field names that are different to internal field names each ConfiForms record has Documentation)

Version 2.25.4

  • Fixed issue with inline edits of smart multi-row fields
  • Field Definition Rules now work on a from rendered via Entry Viewer as well (same as with FormView)
  • Fixed issue with incorrect event being sent when a record is changed through Smart multi-row field
  • ConfiForms Registrations Control (FormView) macro's restrictions parameter supports variables and [entry.field_name] notations now
  • ConfiForms EntryViewer's field name parameter supports complex expressions and [entry.field_name] notations as parameter
  • ConfiForms file field now allows to clean up "broken file references". When the file was uploaded using ConfiForms, but has been deleted (directly) using Confluence.
  • Templates can be looked up by space key as well, in addition to [template.TEMPLATE_NAME] you can use [template.SPACEKEY::TEMPLATE_NAME]
  • Workaround for forms that have validation rules around fields that upload image files - Confluence has a bug that prevents ConfiForms from deleting the image file due to a DB constraint. We attempt to workaround this, but this will not work for scenarios when another version of a image file is uploaded (attachment with the same name) - in this case we skip deleting of this file to successfully complete ConfiForms process (as otherwise Confluence raises a transaction rollback)

Version 2.25.3

  • Addressing issue that has been introduced by strict validation of the form configuration (in 2.25.2). Field max length is upped to 60 symbols max. And the rule could be disabled via plugin configuration (but we encourage you to enable this setting if you plan to migrate your ConfiForms data to cloud at some point).

Version 2.25.2

  • Fixed missing header in Smart multi-row field when set to render as TableView
  • Fixed issue with default fields in ConfiForms Filter Control macro (rendering system fields by default as well, which it should not)
  • Experimental support in Import API to allow users to specify "field or fields as unique key" to identify a record to update (in addition to "entryId" column mapping)
  • Added support for importing of smart multi-row field values via Import API
  • Lookup and Set rule (ConfiForms Field Definition Rules#Lookupandsetvalue and others from "Lookup and Set" rules family) has been improved to work correctly with values that have CRLF (new lines) - looked up from TextArea/Markdown field
  • queryAndSet function now to support expressions on the field it is queried on - Virtual functions. Wrapping the field or expression in parenthesis will tell ConfiForms to try to calculate the field, and for numeric/currency fields that will attempt to sum up the values that were found
  • Attempting to improve ConfiForms attachment handling as per advises given by Atlassian in Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration. (to avoid conflicts with Collaborative editing)
  • Fixing issues with incorrect time rendering when "use user timezone" option is selected for date/datetime and datetime interval fields
  • Convenient option to disable ConfiForms indexer globally via ConfiForms app configuration

Version 2.25.1

  • Fixed issues with migrating (to cloud) forms data that have non-latin names
  • Fixed issue with labels auto-align option set in ConfiForms Registrations Control (FormView) macros
  • Fixed issue with double rendering of the template in ConfiForms emails (IFTTT to send emails)
  • _previousState is now accessible directly through ConfiForms Field macros (not only through [entry._previousState]) - if it exists in the context for the current record, see where it exists Virtual functions

  • Virtual function to remove items is enhanced to work better on arguments given as CSV (asList). An example below that removes options from "choice1" field that already being selected and stored in choice1 and choice2 fields

    id.getOptions(choice1).remove([entry.choice1.transform(id).asList]).remove([entry.choice2.transform(id).asList]).asList

    similar approach to create a filter dynamically (filters OUT choices from choice1 that are already used in fields choice2 and choice3). In these examples our choice1,choice2,choice3 fields are of the same structure and type

    choice1:[entry.id.getOptions(choice1).remove([entry.choice3.transform(id).asList]).remove([entry.choice2.transform(id).asList]).join( OR choice1:)]

    JavaScript functions
    Available since versionFunction DescriptionDemo

    2.21.5

    function cfAddFieldRequired(formId, fieldName)

    		Adds required field mark / asterisk. This does not make the field required - you need to have an additional validation in place to validate the field's value

    2.21.5

    		function cfRemoveFieldRequired(formId, fieldName)Removes required field mark / asterisk from a field. Important to know that if the field is set as required in ConfiForms Field Definition then it still remains as required and users must provide a value before they can submit the form. This function only changes the visual appearance of a field label

    2.21.5

    		function cfAddTabStop(formId, fieldName)Adds "tab stop", meaning that the field will be excluded from form's set of fields when moving around using the "tab" key 



    2.21.5

    		function cfRemoveTabStop(formId, fieldName)Removes the "tab stop" marker from a field

    2.23

    		function cfSetValue(formId, fieldName, fieldValue, isAdvanced = false)Set's value on a field. Set "isAdvanced = true" if you want to set the value on "advanced" fields (such as dropdown fields with lookup, etc)

    3.8

    		function cfSetValueWithEventPropagation(formId, fieldName, fieldValue, eventType, isAdvanced = false)

    Same as "cfSetValue" function but  triggers an eventType event

    eventType can be of the following type:

    • change
    • input
    • blur
    • keyup

    This depends on the field you want to trigger this for. Text fields expect 'input', dropdowns and other choice based fields - "change"; Jira, user and page lookup fields expect a "blur"


    2.23

    		function cfResetValue(formId, fieldName, isAdvanced = false)Resets value on a field (sets it to empty state).

    2.23

    		function cfSetValueByIndex(formId, fieldName, index, isAdvanced = false)Selects value by index in a dropdown (simple or advanced) field. Options start with 0 index (so, the first option will be with index = 0)

    3.8

    		function cfToggleReadOnly(formId, fieldName, isReadOnly, isAdvanced = false) Toggles readonly attribute (either adds it or removes it, depending on a isReadOnly parameter value)

    3.8

    		function cfToggleDisabled(formId, fieldName, isDisabled, isAdvanced = false) Toggles disabled attribute (either adds it or removes it, depending on a isDisabled parameter value)

    3.10

    		function cfTriggerEvent(formId, fieldName, eventName) 

    eventName can be of the following type:

    • change
    • input
    • blur
    • keyup

    3.11

    		function cfGetValue(formId, fieldName) 

    Retrieves value from a form's field


    3.11

    		function cfGetValueBySelector(formId, fieldSelector)

    Retrieves value from a form by CSS selector


Version 2.21.5

Version 2.21.4

  • Fixed issue with Smart multi-row field type when it is set on fields that require additional initialization (user fields, multi-selects, etc)
  • Fixed issue with JQL field type to export "counts" instead of configured JQL
  • Added missing parameter to set rendering mode in TableViewMerger macro (parallel rendering is preferred, but sequential could be also used)
  • Fixed issue with applying rules on compulsory fields conditionally, where condition involves checking for files/attachments to be empty/non empty

Version 2.21.3

  • Fixed bug with individual edit on file fields (using inline "save" button will (wrongly) de-associate currently linked attachments)
  • Confluence administrators could allow users to define and configure own connections to web-services to be used by ConfiForms (will be accessible if the below parameter is enabled via "user profile → settings → ConfiForms settings")

  • Fixed issue with incorrect (success) message shown when multiple registrations control macros are on the page
  • Fixed issue with class loading conflict (affects sending emails with attachments from ConfiForms)
loader constraint violation: when resolving method 'void javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart.setDataHandler(javax.activation.DataHandler)' the class loader
  • Fixed issue with conflicting CSS styles for width of form view when ConfiForms Filter macro is also used on the page

Version 2.21.0

  • Introducing Spaces field type. New field type to list Confluence spaces. Although something like is already possible with (limitless) WebService dropdown field, we have decided to make an easier to configure and setup version of the field
  • Introducing new field type to help building master-details forms much easier - Smart multi-row. Field is in BETA version (please do not use in mission critical forms as of now) and your feedback is very appreciated. 
  • Fixed issue with finding correct EntryViewer/Edit Controls custom layout on pages with multiple views over the same form. As well as with configurations having EntryViewer set in "Edit" mode
  • Support for Include Page macros inside ListView with contents evaluation (evaluating [entry.field_name] placeholders found in the included page) + support for referencing Confluence templates from inside the ListView via [template.TEMPLATE_NAME]
  • Improved Virtual functions pageProperties function to support rendering of local (<ac:link>) links (when used within page properties) 
  • Fixed issue with importing values into Dynamic dropdown fields (including the ones backed up by web-service and database query)

  • Fixed issue with ConfiForms Field Definition Rules not firing when set up to track changes on a file/attachment fields
  • Fixed issue with rendering attachment field in CardView/TableView when sent via email (current workaround is to use "sequential" rendering mode for the view macro). With 2.21 version sequential mode is always used automatically when used for email / notification
  • Improved pageProperties Virtual functions to render local links and tasks when referenced through this function and used in page properties on a page

Version 2.20.5

  • Fixed issue with Web service connection configurations (missing admin security token)

Version 2.20.4

  • Fixed issue with "base url" when configured to other than root context (submitting forms from custom layouts)

Version 2.20.3

  • Fixed issue with incorrectly removing complete attachment instead of attachment version when attachment is uploaded via ConfiForms form and then deleted (either via record edit or as whole record)
  • Improved "Lookup and set" rule to set the expressions (on requested fields) even when the lookup operation results in an empty value 

Version 2.20.2

  • Support for server/data center to cloud migration - Migration from server to cloud (make sure you read about limitations and blockers current process has, and also read about Differences between ConfiForms server/data center and ConfiForms cloud)
  • Parallel rendering to improve performance of large datasets. You can select view rendering mode in each macro.
    • ListView/CleanView and CalendarView use (old) sequential mode of rendering, as it is compatible with larger range if 3rd party apps (try switching to parallel (as it is much faster), but if you dont see expected results switch back to parallel)
    • TableView/CardView/PlainView and TableViewMerger use parallel rendering mode as a default option (as these views very rarely depend/use other 3rd macros to render their output and this mode is a lot faster than old sequential rendering mode)
  • Fixed issue with "Lookup and set value" - ConfiForms Field Definition Rules#Lookupandsetvalue when static parameters are configured to be set on lookup (incorrectly always setting the value, no matter of a lookup result)
  • Fixed regression issue with CheckboxGroup field check for empty value in filters (condition to check fo empty field was not working)
  • When whitelist is enforced in ConfiForms settings, all the redirects are also checked against the Confluence whitelist
  • HTML stored in ConfiForms fields (HTML/Hidden HTML) are now cleaned up and escaped (no scripts allowed, used OWASP policy)
  • All ConfiForms configuration and administrative operations are now following the recommendations found on https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/form-token-handling/

Version 2.19.5

Starting from version 2.20 ConfiForms will require you to have Atlassian cloud migration assistant installed and updated to latest version https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/confluence-cloud-migration-assistant/

    org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Application context initialization for 'com.vertuna.confluence.plugins.confiforms' has timed out waiting for (objectClass=com.atlassian.migration.app.AppCloudMigrationGateway)

Version 2.19.4

@ExportAsService({ConfiFormsStorageComponent.class})
@Named("confiFormsStorageComponent")
public interface ConfiFormsStorageComponent {

  String findFieldValueById(ContentEntityObject contentEntityObject, String formName, String id, String fieldName);

  RegEntry findById(ContentEntityObject contentEntityObject, String formName, String id);

  • Improved support for edit restricted fields - now, even if the field is set to be required, but is restricted for current use, it will not be validated as required, but skipped. Also, edit restricted fields are not rendered on the form if the user has no permissions to edit such fields (previously the fields were rendered as read only)
  • Fixed issue with "unique by user" check when forms are used by anonymous users

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))

  • 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)

  • 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

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

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
