Comala workflow state change based on document edit in Confluence page

Suvidhaa M S May 13, 2022

We are using Comala Document Management Plugin. 

When we edit a document/file in page using Atlassian Companion App and save it, the workflow state should be updated to Draft. 

Is it possible?

I'm facing the same issue ; the shared answer does not help.

 

Context

* Create a page within a space with a word file in attachment and a word macro ;

* Have a comala document management workflow set-up to change state whenever an edit is done (eg. published to draft when someone makes a change)

* Click on edit on the published page's word macro and make a change through atlassian companion app ; load that change back to confluence through the companion app

* Observe that the change are taken into account in the attachment within confluence but the state (comala's one) haven't changed.

 

What should happen ?

* A change done to the page or the attachment should trigger a change of state (be it through the editor or a companion app)

 

What's the impact ?

* Undetected by-pass of publication process through the companion app.

Nevermind, it's just a matter of catching "attachment" events through a trigger

@Suvidhaa M S the functionality you describe does occur - if a document is updated in the Confluence Mobile app, the workflow will put the page in the "Draft" state. That is the default behaviour of the Document Management app. 

I should note that the UI does not appear inside the Confluence Mobile app, but the UI can be seen inside the browser version. 

I hope this helps!
