I am coding a Confluence macro for which I have overriden the default macro editor dialog to get my own. I have a single string parameter in which I would like to store a JSON structure so I can easily parse it when the macro is edited again.
When doing so, after saving the macro, the macro element on the page editor does not behave properly. It should display the name of the Macro along with the parameters if I wish to display them. Instead the name is replaced with the first element of my JSON object and the parameter part is the rest of the JSON object (see attached image). Is there any trick besides changing my storage format and parsing by hand ?
When I edit the macro again, I do receive the data correctly. It is only a display problem in the Page Editor.
Here is my macro definition
<xhtml-macro name="canalmetadata" label="Canal Metadata" class="com.confluence.plugins.metadata.macros.CanalMetadataMacro" key="canal-metadata.macro"> <description key="canal-metadata-macro.description">The metadata selection macro</description> <category name="confluence-content"/> <parameters> <parameter name="metaselection" type="string" required="true"> <option key="showNameInPlaceholder" value="false"/> <option key="showValueInPlaceholder" value="false"/> </parameter> </parameters> </xhtml-macro>
Steps to reproduce:
- Add Column macro to a page
- Set Column width parameter to "{test"
Expected behaviour: Macro element in the page editor should have title "Column | width = {test".
Actual behaviour: Macro element in the page editor has title "test".

[CONFSERVER-34797] Macro parameter with open brace ({) character messes the Macro element in the page editor
Hi,
Thanks for your quick answer. My current workaround is the #1 in your list. I have changed the data structure to avoid JSON in parameters. I am not sure about your second proposition though. The parameter I wish to save is not meant to be displayed, but is still a set of data needed for the macro.
Regards,
Dear sebastien.delcoigne,
Thank you for raising this issue. I have two possible workarounds in my mind:
- Avoid content with open brace ({).
- Extend com.atlassian.renderer.v2.macro.basic.AbstractPanelMacro and move the JSON configuration to the panel the same way that Code macro does it.
