            Circling back for an update. I agree with Kevin, please inform us if this will be moved into the Atlassian Backlog or addressed in some manner.

            Hi Team,

            I understand that you have a process to follow, I'm totally comfortable with that, but I would really like to see any kind of statement about whether this will be triaged into the active backlog or if it is going to die here on the vine. Can you please let us know what your thoughts are on whether this can/will be worked on? That would tell us how urgently we need to explore alternatives.

            Cheers!

            Hi, is there an update on this issue? It continues to negatively impact our instance. We would like an update as soon as possible on whether a fix is being actively worked on, and whether Atlassian is taking an aggressive stance against this. This bug was added due to the upgrade of our Confluence environment to 5.9.7; it broke existing functionality, and should therefore be prioritized against other requests.

            Hey Team, Can we get a meaningful update as to whether this is going into development and/or when that will happen? Our client has 100's of instances in Confluence where this is broken. We simply can't use the work around in an effective fashion.

            On behalf of customer from CSP-172994:
            Note that this is having a negative impact on our Atlassian instance. The Page Properties Gadget is heavily used heavily throughout all spaces, and many of the pages that are pulled in use formatting macros that are "owned" by Atlassian, such as the Expand gadget.

            Clearing formatting from each page is simply not an option, due to the popularity of the gadget and macros, as well as the bulk of pages involved (over 500+). This is not a viable workaround for our implementation.

            Seeing as the upgrade to Confluence 5.9.7 caused a break in existing functionality, we believe Atlassian should take a more aggressive stance to resolve this.

            Please let us know if we have any updates on it.

            I want to make sure that this ticket takes into account the Expand Gadget, which (when used on a page) also breaks the Page Properties Report gadget in a similar way, when that gadget references a page with the Expand Gadget on it.

            Going back to all of our hundreds of pages and searching for Expand gadgets to try to implement a workaround is not a feasible fix... this bug needs to be addressed, please.
