Mapping custom fields to external datasources (for OnDemand Confluence)

[Alfred Dellicicchi]

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).

I'm possibly a little ahead of Hessom today as I had an early meeting, but I'm sure he'd like you to know that 2.3.1 was released to marketplace a few minutes ago.

Hi Francis,

Community Forums is entering the final stages of testing today and we hope to have this available soon. We aim to have this on the marketplace either by the end of today (2nd of July) or at the start of next week.

Kind Regards,

Hessom

When it's ready.

I can't give you a date because it really does depend on when the development team is happy it all works.  I can tell you they're actively working on it, and the boards show testing is moving, so I'd say "quite soon", and I be surprised if it's not before the end of July.
