Wiki Link for Remote Controlled Documents, improvements and bugfixes

This release provides some new features, improvements of existing features, and fixes a number issues.
Please note that with this version Confluence 5.8.x and 5.9.x are no longer officially supported since the End-of-Life (EOL) for these versions has already expired.
The projectdoc Toolbox is an add-on for Confluence supporting agile software development teams to collaborate on process, project, system, and product documentation.

List of Changes
The complete list of changes for this release.
The following changes are part of the latest projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence.
| Key | Summary | T | P | Status | Resolution | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PDAC-898 | Request Parameters for Wiki Link Macro |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
Add a parameter to allow users specify request parameters for the generated URL. |
| PDAC-886 | Provide Confluence Links with data-projectdoc-id values |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
The rendered Confluence Links should also provide the data-projectdoc-id attribute for property values. This will make it easier for libraries to only look for the attribute in rendered property values instead of parsing HTML (rendered) and XML (original storage format). This fix allows to follow transitively transcluded content (since the rendered property value now also presents the data attribute). |
| PDAC-897 | Date Picker Support for Wizards |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
We need to make it easier for template authors to render the current date inside a date picker. |
| PDAC-893 | Allow Multiple Doctypes for Ancestor Macro |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
We need to allow to specify a list of doctypes with the Ancestor Macro. This makes it possible to have an ancestor of different types. |
| PDAC-892 | Change Default for Wiki Link Macro |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
Currently the default for the link macro is to render a create-page link. Unfortunately this link is per default not associated with the blueprint to run. Therefore the more convenient default would be to render the link in plain text. Choosing "empty" as default seems not the right choice since the macro may be placed inside an HTML element that would not work properly without a value (e.g. an empty li element). |
| PDAC-887 | Preview of Document Properties |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
The Document Properties Marker Macro provides a preview of the current document in the database, not the current document. We should parse the content of the macro in Preview Mode. This should include the page and macro preview. |
| PDAC-885 | Refresh Copy Tree Improvement |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
A refresh after a copy-tree event is required to update references within the tree of pages. |
| PDAC-884 | Update Copy Root |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
Copy tree runs a refresh at the parent of the copied tree root level. Refreshing the tree root would be enough. |
| PDAC-894 | Quirk Mode for Steps |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
Provide a quirk mode to render steps for Scroll Office Word. |
| PDAC-891 | Normalize Flag for Quote Macro |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
Currently the name of the author (or authors) are always normalized. This is useful if the names are rendered with additional tags in the original document that should not appear in the quote. In case the rendering is applicable for the quote, the user should have the option to either normalize the value or not. A non-normalized value would still contain the links. |
| PDAC-890 | Tour Macro without Table |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
There should be an error message if the Tour Marker Macro has no table with properties in it. |
| PDAC-889 | Document Property Marker Macro without Table |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
There should be an error message if the Document Property Marker Macro has no table with properties in it. |
| PDAC-896 | Document Property Name Normalization fails |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
Document property names with spaces fail to be normalized (in ancestor queries) using the $<...> encoding. |
| PDAC-895 | URL Rendering for Display Property Concat |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
The concatenation version of the display property macro fails to render a concatenated URL. |
| PDAC-883 | Refs rendering wrong values |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
The artificial property DocumentPropertyRefs is rendered with two problems:
|
| PDAC-888 | Tour Macro Override |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
In Definition List Mode the macro fails to allow overriding the second value. |
| PDAC-882 | Rendering Problem with Date Delegate Properties |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
Rendering a value that renders to null may result in an exception since the date parser may assume falsely that the value is not yet rendered. But it is simply only not set. |
| PDAC-881 | Encoding Problem with Name List Macro |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
When the doctype parameter of the Name List Macro has a list value and the list value contains a space, the macro will not render in edit mode on some environments. As a workaround: Do not use spaces, like in: one,two |
| PDAC-880 | Spacing for Dates in Quotes |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
There is a space missing in front of a rendered date for the Quote Macro. |
