Description
Issue Summary
- The "Contributors macro" macro can be added to pages and blogs to return a list of contributors in a page or space.
- The default options for the macro should return a list of contributors in the page that the macro is added.
- Depending on the when and how the macro is added, the macro either returns the entire space contributors, or "No contributors found".
Steps to Reproduce
Macro added into a new page directly, or via Page template
- Create a new page and add the "Contributors macro", or use a template with the macro;
- Contributors for all pages in the Space that the page is in is returned.
- Publish the page;
- The message "No contributors found for: authors on selected page(s)" is shown.
- Refresh the page;
- The actual page contributor is shown.
Macro added via page template that uses "template variables"
- Page templates in Confluence supports "variables", which loads a custom editor to prefill the variable values before its parsed to the editor.
- Create a template and add a "template variables", and the "Contributors macro".
- Create a page using the template above, and a screen will load to populate the variable.
- The "Contributors macro" will errors out and returns "Failed to get macro details".
- Once the variable is added, the same issue for when we add the macro normally is also present.
Expected Results
- The macro should return the page's contributor on first publish without requiring a page refresh.
- The macro should not return Space contributors when first added into a page.
- The macro should return accurate messages when it is not able to fetch the page's contributor.
Actual Results
- On first publish, the macro returns no contributors and the user will have to refresh the page to see actual contributors.
- When first added, the macro returns all Space contributors and not the page's contributor.
- When the macro is used in a template with "template variables", it throws an error, "Failed to get macro details".
Workaround
- Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
