Mapping custom fields to external datasources (for OnDemand Confluence)

Question

What options exist for creating a custom field in Conlfuence projects that would have options determined by the results of a query to external data source? I've seen varied approaches (from using a custom ajax service to inject picklist values upon page load, to middleware, etc) but I was wondering if there's anything analogous to the nFeed product for JIRA (in either a plugin or even an open source format).

Indeed, it is not possible, as it needs a development for authentification that nFeed doesn't handle for now. The issue is authentification, not handling REST APIs.

We might develop it, but not this quarter.

So you're saying that nFeed for JIRA right now cannot work with the REST APIs from Salesforce?

Hello,

this is not really a matter of solution, but we are thinking about nFeed for Confluence, but this won't be for 2014 for sure.

This would need at least 2015 for us to work on nFeed for Confluence.

Thank you for your understanding,

Have a beautiful day!
