Confiforms: Using ${fieldname} to display fields in created pages

[Katherine Barako]

I've been working on a large confiforms that creates confluence pages with content based on form entries. For example, I have an fieldname called "details" and in the created page I have ${details}, which gets replaced with the details value once the page is created. This generated plain text is placed inside a page properties table, which can be queried by report.

I've found that sometimes this stops working, and I can't figure out why. I thought for a while it was a certain registration macro causing it (because when I deleted it, it would fix it), but recently ran into an issue where deleting the macro couldn't fix it. I'm completely stumped.

My questions are 1) is there something that is known to break the ${xyz} syntax*, and 2) is there a better way to achieve what I'm trying to do?

Thanks for your help.

*I am not sure what this is called and I'd like to find more reading material about it

When you use velocity templating then you need to ensure it is valid and correct 

when you brake it the output is given as unprocessed
