How do I write scaffolding macro data into parameters via Rest API?

[Lennard W]

Can anyone help me with this? I already found out a way how to write into these macros but I dont get how to read from them.  This is how to write into the macros. (Using the Scaffolding REST API with ScriptRunner for Confluence - Scaffolding Forms & Templates (servicerocket.com))

Hi Lennard,

Please allow me to answer your queries.

Before we proceed, may I know whether the use of ScriptRunner is required at the moment? As if we would like to write the structure of the REST API, we can follow this article instead as a starter:

• Scaffolding REST API

First, we can get the Scaffolding form structure by using the mentioned GET method. Below is an example of my form retrieved using the GET method where there are 2 Text Data's, a List Data with its options, and a Date Data.

[
{
"macro": "text-data",
"macroId": "c7429ed3-ba43-4184-ace4-9ae674ec16d4",
"name": "project",
"type": "line",
"content": "text",
"required": false
},
{
"macro": "text-data",
"macroId": "bf98ed11-ae67-4610-9c2c-e5da6f6c9d79",
"name": "desc",
"required": false
},
{
"macro": "list-data",
"macroId": "c74210a0-73bc-4248-ab06-79e94a78756c",
"name": "status",
"multiple": false,
"options": [
{
"value": "Open",
"option": "list-option"
},
{
"value": "In Progress",
"option": "list-option"
},
{
"value": "Done",
"option": "list-option"
}
],
"required": false
},
{
"macro": "date-data",
"macroId": "479a905f-0816-4e5c-b83b-0970ec43d1bf",
"name": "due",
"required": false
}
]

As we get the form structure through the GET method, we can follow it to write the Body for the PUT method. Following the article, we can set the values below:

[
{
"macro": "text-data",
"name": "project",
"value": "Project Alpha"
},
{
"macro": "text-data",
"name": "desc",
"value": "This is the test project"
},
{
"macro": "list-data",
"name": "status",
"value": ["In Progress"]
},
{
"macro": "date-data",
"name": "due",
"value": "2022-04-02 11:11:11"
}
]

 Run the PUT request with the above JSON body including the "Content-Type: application/json" header, the form will be updated with the value set above. To help with the test, I'm using the Postman app.
