How to use macro data in a script?

[Lennard W]

Has anyone found a way to use the data that is edited in the (scaffolding) macros with a script? I want the REST Endpoint to access this data to transfer it to Jira and create Issues based on that information.

Hi Lennard,

Hope you are having a great day.

You can use the following Get endpoint to access Scaffolding values:

{CONFLUENCE-BASE-URL}/rest/scaffolding/1.0/api/form/meta/{pageid}

You can find more about the Scaffolding Rest APIs through the following link:

• https://docs.servicerocket.com/scaffolding/developer-guide/scaffolding-rest-api

As for creating Jira issues, you can use the following endpoint:

POST /rest/api/2/issue

You can read more on Jira Rest APIs through the following link:

• https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.5.13/#api/2/issue-createIssue

I hope it helps.

Best,

Sayed

Hi Sayed,

hope you're also having a great day.

Thank you for your fast reply. As I am not that familiar with Endpoints could you might help me a little bit more? How would that line to get the data look like, if the confluence url was "http://confluenceurl" , page id "12345" and the name of the macro "textmacro"?

Because if I type

"def request = applicationLinkRequestFactory.createRequest(POST, "/rest/api/2/project")"

it works but if I type

"def request = applicationLinkRequestFactory.createRequest(POST, "<confluenceurl>/rest/scaffolding/1.0/api/form/meta/123456")

it says "The variable "GET" is undeclared.

Best regards
