New and Noteworthy
The following changes may be the most interesting of this release.
Tour Macro Supports Templates
The Tour Macro accepts templates containing property references in columns that do not references the document. That is ${}
and $[]
(for linked property values) may be used in table cells to define the rendered content. This feature makes it very easy to define columns where text with multiple properties are rendered.
See PDAC-775 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
Display List Template Macro
The Display List Template Macro allows templates to specify the content of the list items. Use ${}
and $[]
(for linked property values) to reference propery values with the Name Template and the Data Template.
See PDAC-748 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
Transclusion to Text Macro
The new Transclusion to Text Macro allows to transclude content from a Confluence page as plain text.
This macro is usful in use cases where the transcluded content is further processed by an enclosing macro (like the Body Graph Macro).
Breaking Changes
Doctype Add-ons and Bookmarklet Extension
Due to an internal API change all doctype add-ons and the Bookmarklets Extension need to be updated.
See PDAC-758 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
Tour Macro
In case a cell of the table inside the Tour Macro contains text value, this test is rendered instead of the property whose value is referenced by the column title.
See PDAC-774 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
Renamed Artificial Property for Locale DE
The German translation for Space Title is now "Bereichstitel" instead of "Bereich" due to PDAC-771 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
Transclusions defined by ID
In previous versions the transclusion defined the part of transcluded content by the title of a Section. With this version the ID (if present) is used. When referencing the ID of a section, changes to the title would not take effect on the transclusion defined in other pages (since the ID stays the same).
See PDAC-751 - Getting issue details... STATUS .

The following topics have to be considered for an upgrade to this version.
Install the new OBR of the projectdoc Toolbox first.
Required Add-on Updates

Reindex recommended

If not, existing pages do not have this additional property.
