Once expand macro is inserted, I can not list tasks with a check box which once done could be marked. Is it something what will come int he future? I can only list tasks as bullet points or while numbering them.
Hello Jolanta,
Thank you for reporting this behavior to us. You should be able to add action items (tasks) inside of an Expand macro in Confluence.
Upon inserting the Expand macro on a page, I confirmed that I am able to click the Action item button in the toolbar in order to insert a task. Note that it's also possible to add an action item by typing [] followed by a mention of the person I want to assign the task to.
Once I save the page, I am able to to check off tasks from inside of the Expand macro.
Could you let me know exactly the behavior that you're experiencing that's preventing you from adding actionable tasks within your Expand macro? Do the tasks appear, but you're not able to check them off? Does this happen on multiple browsers, and for several of your users?
Take care,
Shannon
Hi Shannon,
thank you for your reply, yes, I have an option to add action items once I add the expand macro but these added action items appear below the expand field, see screenshots please:
Hi Jolanta,
Thank you for sharing that. From your screenshots, it appears that you're trying to add tasks inside an Expand Macro which is inside a table.I was able to confirm this on my site.
Without the table, the macro works as expected:
Legacy Editor, expanded:
New Editor, expanded:
I believe there's a bug that might be causing this, but I want to do more research on it. I will follow-up with you when I have more information on this!
It appears that this is a result of this issue:
The table is causing the macros to be nested, which isn't supported at this time.
Can you confirm if you able to insert a task macro inside an Expand macro within a table on pages using the legacy editor?
2023 and this issue is still present in the new editor
