Confluence automation - Check if all tasks on page have been complete and edit status macro

Harry Lee_jd4l02

Hi all, 

I'm trying to create an automation that will edit the status macro on a page when all the tasks on said page have been completed. 

Is this possible? 

Thank you!

Hello @Harry Lee ,

Technically this is possible: it is up to you how to do it:

• ScriptRunner script / listener
• Custom listener for a page update
• Custom code executed in some environment that checks page body via REST API and does its job when the criteria are met

I suppose the general approach would be to run the code when the new version is created (when checkbox is ticked, it creates a new page version) and  parse page body to check if all the  get all tasks from xHTML/HTML and if all tasks have 'complete' status that is set as the xhtml attribute:

<ac:task-status>complete</ac:task-status>

<ac:task>
  <ac:task-id>2</ac:task-id>
  <ac:task-status>complete</ac:task-status>
  <ac:task-body><span class="placeholder-inline-tasks"><ac:link><ri:user ri:account-id="xxx" /></ac:link> task here <time datetime="2023-09-28" /> </span></ac:task-body>
</ac:task>

 If all the ``` ac:task ``` elements have complete status then you can update the page and update the Status macro inner code (<ac:parameter ac:name="title">resolved</ac:parameter>).

 

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="status" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="c0849f79-ce68-46ba-8539-088974fc596a"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">resolved</ac:parameter></ac:structured-macro>
