Dropdown in edit mode

[Dominic Lagger]

Hi all,

I've been trying a lot with user macros lately. Is there a way to display a dropdown field in edit mode?

There, you can select different values. The selected value should  be saves and displayed in view mode, so next time you edit the page the selected option is still selected.

Thanks for your help

On server, the only way to do this is for the user to edit the macro. See the "enum"  Parameter type described here https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/user-macro-template-syntax-223906130.html#UserMacroTemplateSyntax-Definingtheparameters

Hi @James Dellow 

Okay, I was worried about that this is the only way to do this. But I wanted to ask anyway. Could be, that someone challenged the same already. 

I know this way already., thank you.

Always worth asking! This might change if/when live macros come to the server edition of Confluence.

Hi Dominic,

There is also Handy Status macro that works similar to dropdown.

Hi @Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_ 

Thanks for your reply. This plugin looks fancy, but i wanted to try something similar with a user macro for free. Would that be possible?

As far as I know, there are no free solutions. But you can contact StiltSoft support about pricing.
