Expand macro: content indication when not expanded

[Douglas Martin]

I have several expand macros on a page to help organize things but for us to see if there is content in each expand macro we have to go through and click on each one.  Does anyone know a way to make it so:  if there is content in an Expand Macro have the title of it be bold or change color or some way to indicate it has content?

Hi Douglas,

Atlassian's documentation states:

To edit an existing macro

Click the macro placeholder and choose Edit. A macro dialog window will open, where you can edit the parameters of the macro.

I don't use Cloud, but I take this to mean that you can click on the macro when editing a page and then selecting Edit will open a dialogue box where you can edit the Title of the macro. Cheers!

Thanks for your suggestion Joshua.  If was not quite what I was askinga.  What I want is: if there is content in an Expand Macro then I would like to have some visual indication that it has content without having to expand it.

Hi Douglas,

Alrighty then. I don't believe the Expand macro has that functionality out of the box. The workaround is to change the title to Empty or similar if you remove content from the macro. The macro isn't very smart and just expands/collapses. You might be able to use something like the Spoiler Content plugin. Cheers!

Joshua,  I supected that there was no funtionality out of the box as I did look carefully for any options that might achieve this.   Dont really want to spend money on another plugin.  I guess I will just intruct all my users to edit the title to indicate it has content.

Thanks for your consideration
