User Macros: $action in preview mode

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I am working on an own user macro based on this source code: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Get-incoming-links-with-in-a-user-macro/qaq-p/538128

It's working (I see the outout of the macro), when I use the macro and save the page including it. But in the preview mode, when editing the page, $action.getIncomingLinks() seem to be empty. Therefore the macro does not seem to be able to generate a preview.
When the part of the page with the macro gets included in another page via page properties report the part generated by the macro is empty, too.

Is there a way around this issue?

Cheers, Markus

I am running into the same issue.  After a little investigation, it looks like the $action variable's context is the calling page.  If you have any incoming links on the calling page, they will erroneously show up instead.  I believe the edit preview is technically a different page so the incoming links don't behave correctly.

I believe it works correctly.

Would it be possible to set the page regarding the incoming links as a parameter and to load this "incoming links" page (partially) via the parameter when parsing the calling page with the macro to get the incoming links of the "incoming links" page?
