Tested in Confluence 4.3 with a bundled Office Connector 2.1.7
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Add a new page
- In the editor, insert an attachment link. Attach an office file or PDF document. Be it Word document, Excel spreadsheet or Powerpoint presentation.
- Don't save the page yet. Insert a view file macro (Word, Excel, Powerpoint or PDF). You'll notice that the "File Name" field has nothing in the options.
In previous version (tested in Confluence 4.2) and also in Confluence 4.3.2, the newly attached files will automatically appears in the "File Name" field straight away.
Workaround
Upgrade Office Connector plugin to the latest compatible version. Tested with Office Connector 2.1.10 and that fixed it. You can upgrade the plugin manually by downloading it, then go to Browse >> Confluence Admin >> Plugins >> Install plugins >> Upload plugins >> locate the downloaded Office Connector jar.
