Expand macro does not work in confiForms List View update mode

I use embedded registration control to create and list view edit control to update data in confiForms.

Since the form adresses to a wide range of users and the topic is somewhat complex we want to present help texts/links/pictures to the users. Since help data is sometimes extensive we decided to put it into wysiwyg data fields and present those in expand macros for each input field like

This works well for registration control.

To edit the data users are redirected to another page containing a list view to present the data, one record at a time (pagination=1). This seems to work fine until you click on the edit (control) button to update the data. In edit mode the expand macro won't open. Also returning to view mode doesn't change behaviour of the expand macro, it won't open in view mode now either. After page reload the macro will expand in view mode again.

Is this a temporary glitch maybe due to version incompabilities (we had a lot of problems after the last confluence update) or isn't suppose to work this (expected) way?

Current versions used are

confluence 9.2.1, confiForms 3.16.3

Most probably the expand macro does not work on the dynamically reloaded/loaded page contents. As it needs/uses/has some initilizing scripts

We have a (user) macro that will work for any contents - https://wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/VERTUNA/pages/31097311/Custom+expand+macro

Hi @Ralf Weidauer ,

I believe @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ could probably assist you here.

Apart from that, I believe you can always reach out to vendors directly via their support portal which is usually linked on the Matketplace app listing under "Support" tab.

Cheers,
Tobi
