Populate dropdown with values from static list on same page

Question

Hello, I want to add a multi select dropdown that will display list of 100+ sites without adding the sites manually one by one. I can also add a csv as a page attachment but the option to get the list from database has not been enabled. Please let me know how to add a static list on confluence page and reference it to populate dropdown on the same page. Thanks

Hi @anuprita_moharil,

You might want to try this free app to import CSV data into Confluence: Live Tables from CSV & JSON for Confluence.

It allows you to import CSV, TSV, or JSON not only directly from attachments, but also from URLs, connect external sources like APIs or Google Sheets, and automatically keep data updated.

Thank you for your response. I need to add the dropdown in the confiform. I will reach out to the support team.

Hey @anuprita_moharil ,

Question - are you trying to add this list as a 'dropdown' on a Confluence page, in Confluence database or somewhere else (potentially ConfiForms; assumption based on question tag/label)?

If you'd like to add it to a Confluence page, there's a feature request for that as it's not currently supported to have something like a dropdown macro: CONFCLOUD-61729: Drop-down List Macro

On the other hand, if you're trying to use ConfiForms and import it there, I'd suggest reaching out to their support team. They will probably be able to help out with this or suggest some kind of workaround.

Cheers,
Tobi
