How to customize Plugin Properties dialog for both Confluence for Server and for Cloud?

Question

Hello,

A plug-in has a set of parameters in Plugin Properties dialog. Depending of a parameter value some additional elements should be shown.

How such behavior can be accomplished for both Confluence for Server and Cloud?

Thanks!

Hi Minh,

I would start from the simplest example:

* There is Param1, which is of type enum. So it is shown as a combo-box in the Plugin properties dialog. It has three values, for example: Task1, Task2, Task3
* When one selects a specific Param1 value, there should appear another combo-box, based on this value:* If you select Task1, the Param2_1 is shown, which is also a enum, so combo-box with SubTask1_1, SubTask1_2 and SubTask1_3 is shown. If you select
* If you select Task2, the Param2_2 is shown, with variants SubTask2_1, SubTask2_2 and SubTask2_3
* If you select Task3, the Param2_3 is shown, with variants SubTask3_1, SubTask3_2, SubTask3_3 and SubTask3_4

As you see in the example, the appearance of Param2_1, Param_2 and Param_3 depends on the value of Param1 value. How I can accomplish that in plugins for Server and for Cloud?

Thanks!

Hi Minh,

This documentation describes mostly standard cases, but customization is not a common case.

Anyways, thanks!
