Summary

When editing the Assets macro in Confluence, changes made to the AQL query are not applied if the user simply modifies the query and clicks Update. The macro continues to use the previous AQL and the displayed results remain unchanged.

The updated AQL is only recognized if the user first clicks the Search icon (to manually re-run the query) and then clicks Update. This behaviour leads users and admins to believe that their changes are not being saved or that something is wrong with the macro.
This feature request is to ensure that any edits to the AQL in the Assets macro are automatically evaluated and applied when the user clicks Update, without requiring an extra manual Search action.

Suggestions for Improvement

• Automatically detect AQL changes and apply them when the user clicks Update, without requiring a separate Search action.
• Treat Update as a combined Search + Save operation so the saved macro always matches the visible AQL.
• If the AQL is invalid, show a clear error and keep the dialog open instead of silently falling back to the previous query.
