use metadata of a different page

[Heiko Schindler]

Hey there,

I need help or basic information about using (read and show) metadata or any data of a page using ConfiForm. By there, ConfiForm is on a different page! 

The source pages doesn't have page properties or any ConfiForm area, only text in boxes and metadata over the additional plugin.

so the target is, add a link or button on all source pages which open the page with the mentioned ConfiForm. Than I want to prefil the form fields by some metadata from the source page if they are filled. 

The form is used to create a JIRA issue. So it's just a temporary place and must not be stored in confluence.

Thanks

Heiko

Good day Heiko,

Rodrigo here from the Communardo team (the company behind the Metadata app),

This is an interesting situation; it could be that a similar situation was already handled/investigated by the respective team. Could you create a ticket in the Communardo support portal? Our Dev-Team and PO's would love to hear your words directly.

With friendly regards

Hi 

Where do you have your "metadata"? You mentioned some other plugin... In other words where should ConfiForms take the data to preset?

the metadata plugin is the one from communardo, and yes, the confiform should take this data to preset.

I tried the way over REST API, but we have no webservice to use it over a IFTTT field...

My manual REST request shows, that the metadata are just in the body-view section in the resulting json, so I can't reach the metadata without using any additional code (Python, ...)

Not familiar with this plugin, but if it has an API then you should be able to use it through the https://wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/CONFIFORMS/pages/21234020/ConfiForms+Field+Definition+Rules#ConfiFormsFieldDefinitionRules-LookupandsetWSvalue

in ConfiForms form, by setting up a lookup rule
