General Information

In the space settings area you can set the field value configuration for the macros which are will be used in the metadata macros of the Confluence spaces. Each space can have a different field value configuration for the manual fields.

Please consider that currently there is currently 11 page metadata fields provided by the macro. 9 are system page metadata fields and two field are manual configurable fields.

General Configuration

Space Settings

Navigate to a Space and select “Confluence Space Settings” and on the left space settings navigation bar select → “Integrations” section → “Metadata Macro Settings”. Now you will see a screen showing two fields which can be set up with your individual data to be used in this space:

The following fields are configurable:

Field Type

Configurable Fields

Field Type

Status

Single Select

Scope of Application

Multi-Select

Owner

Single-Select User Picker

Reviewer

Multi-Select User-Picker

For the fields Status and Scope of Application you can configure as much values as needed as selectable options in the metadata macro for the specific space. Each value needs to be in a separate line to appear as a select option in the metadata macro for the users.

All configurable fields in the space settings can be set either:

  • Mandatory: must be filled with a value to be able to save a metadata macro on a page

  • Disabled: deactivate this configurable field so it does not appear in the metadata macro for this space

Permissions to configure the manual fields

This app aligns with the natural confluence permission architecture. This means the manual fields in the space settings can just be configured by either a Space Administrator or a Confluence Administrator.

Usage of the Metadata Macro

Every user with edit permissions in the space can use the metadata macro in the page editor.
