View and copy confiForm macro and use it to paste on another page

[Ryan Kafoor]

Lets just say I have a form that is already defined. Is there a way to to view the underlying macro for the form, which could be copied and pasted as plain text? I want to do this because I am creating a workflow which allows users to copy and manually paste the form onto a page as needed, and I do not want them to define a new form every single time. Or if there is even a better way to allow the workflow to automatically add a new form, please share those too. I am using Comala Document Management for the workflow.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @Ryan Kafoor and welcome to this community 

ConfiForms macro configuration is the page contents itself - page storage format

Is that what you are looking to get?

Hi @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ , no that is not what I was looking for. So, basically I need to copy the macro as plain text and set it as a message/notification somewhere, so that the user can manually copy this macro and paste it on their page, which would render as usual into a form. What I aim for here is to allow users to use the same form template in their own pages.

You can just have a form in Confluence template... so you users will be able to create a page from that template and have a form configured for them
