Confluence: Intelligent/Linked Dropdown Menus

Question

Hello,

i want to create a page where user can create Solutions. Kind of a knowledge base.

there are 4 DropdownMenus with different values.

now i try to find a way to link them.

For example:

Menu1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Menu2: a, b, c, d, e

Menu3: Y, X, Z

...

If the User picks 2 at Menu1, then are only a, b and c possible in Menu2 and Y and X in Menu3.

If he picks 4 at Menu1, then the Menu2 should only Show d and e and X and Z in Menu3.

Can somebody help me?

Hi,

this also didn't work.

i've tried some other ways, but actually i think, confluence ist not that Kind of tool to build a living knowledge base like we need.

thanks for your help,

Chris,

There are a few add-ons that can provide dropdown menus in Confluence:

* Confluence Dropdown Add-ons

How exactly were you trying to create this yourself? Are you writing a User Macro, or are you developing an add-on?

If you're actually developing an add-on, then you might want to reach out to the folks at the Developer Community as they may have some ideas for you.

Regards,

Shannon

Hello Shannon,

no, actually it's not a add-on. Is there anything like this?

I've tried to make a Macros which create that Form.

Final Target should be:

The User should create a new Site, where the DropDowns are visible. There he can choose, which category his KnowledgeBase Entry is linked to.

My Problem now: How do i create that Kind of Macro or how do i create that Kind of Form.

Regards,

Chris
