Files in the content by labels macro do not open to view/edit

Steve Hastings

Hi there,

Seeking help please good colleagues on the following. Using the Content by Label macro I have a great set of files populating the panel, shown below. BIG PROBLEM is that when I click on a file name it does not open the view/edit screen as it used to, it now opens a Save As box! If I click on the Files > field it simply takes me back to the files list....wherein I have to scroll to search for the file name. Confluence is acknowledging this as a bug with no fix yet. I'm using Chrome. Has anyone else experienced this one and found a fix please ??? Many thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

I wasn't able to find the bug you're referring to, but I found two feature requests regarding this. I'm placing these here in case other users have the same issue. This way they can vote on it and we can make sure the requests are seen:

• CONFCLOUD-57851 Preview Attachments When Using Content by Label Macro
• CONFCLOUD-64381 Preview attachment instead of download by default

It seems that this is expected behavior, but please feel free to share the source of the bug ticket that you were able to find as well.

I personally am not aware of any workarounds, so fingers crossed that someone else has encountered this before and was able to work around it. I'll keep an eye out on this thread as well.

Thanks again for your help!

Regards,

Shannon
