Jira macros in Confluence do not auto adjust height

[Kevin_Draggoo]

I've tried this with the "Created vs Resolved" macro and the "Jira Roadmap" macro. I have not performed extensive testing, but it seems when I first add the macro, the height adjusts fine. After I edit the macro, though, the height of the widget is set to a static, smaller value. 

I've tried editing various fields for the macro, changing the width as both pixels and percentages. Moving the macro around to different areas of the page. Moving the macro into columns. And other random things. 

I'm using Safari on MacOS. This happened before and after I updated MacOS to Catalina. 

I just tried it using Chrome on the same Mac. I used the same page where 2 macros of the same type were both too short. Editing the first gadget made the height correct. Editing the second gadget had no change and was still short.

I tempted fate and edited the first macro again. It stayed the same, correct height.

Hi Robert,

I was bored, so I decided to try it out.  It's a bit of a hack and it's maybe not the easiest way to do it, but at least it works

This works like a champ! Thank you.

Sorry where do you apply this? Do you need to create a new macro? edit the page in source editor? Sorry for the basic question, i'm pretty new to confluence.

[Stephen Deutsch]

Yes, you need to create a new user macro (You must be an administrator; click the Gear icon at the top of the screen, then General Configuration, enter your password, and find "User Macros" on the left side of the screen). You just give the user macro any name you want (no spaces) and a title (what will be displayed in the macro editor). If you want so that not everybody can see it, choose the visibility under the name. Everything else can stay blank/as it is. Once you save it, the macro should be available to insert on a page.

[Paul DeSousa]

What portions? Not sure I understand the question. Ideally I would want a macro that takes as a single parameter a time zone, and outputs the current time in that time zone. I have that all but I cannot find a good example of setting the timezone in dateFormatter.

[Davin Studer]

For what portions of the page are you wanting this multiple time zone stuff on?

[Paul DeSousa]

Good point David! I guess I need to be more clear. I want to display the time. E.G.: CST: 13:45 EST: 14:45 CEST: 20:45 KST: 04:48 ...

[hemant_khanna]

Almost 4 years late :) But change the $hour line as:

#set ( $hour = $calendar.get(11) )

[Davin Studer]

What do you want to display in multiple times zones? Is it the create and modified date? Comments? Something within the page body? All of the above?
