Why do I get the message, "${title} NEEDS UPDATE"

Mark Bratcher July 12, 2024

I have one particular confluence page that always gives me this pop-up message when I refresh the page:

${title} NEEDS UPDATE

The document has a title. I also tried creating a new document, copying the contents of the prior one into it, and giving it a new title. But this message occurs on this new document as well. So it must be something in the content of the document? I can't find it. This message is very terse.

Has anyone seen this before? How do I resolve and get rid of this pop-up?

Here's what the pop-up looks like:

This is from an addon, to narrow down which, look to see which macros are on that page, since it's just this one page.  One of them wants a title update :)

Oh pfff silly me. I had some time ago put an "Alert" macro in there and completely forgot about it. Thanks for pointing this out. I zoomed right in on it after you mentioned it.

I'm more curious what kind of a popup this is. I don't recall Confluence natively showing such messages.

Probably comes from some plugin?

Mark Bratcher July 12, 2024

Confluence does have a variety of pop-up messages that appear in the upper right corner, at least in our setup. I updated my question with this particular one. Maybe these are plugin related as you mentioned? But the terseness of the message makes it impossible for me to determine. It looks almost like a debug stub message to remind a developer they need to fix something. :-O
