Is it possible to use drop down boxes with custom content?

[Simon Theakston]

Noobie to Confluence here still trying to get up to speed!

Within our setup, we have a space dedicated to the technical set up that our clients are using (i.e. recording their tech stack partners to help with customer support).

To speed up the input of information (and to keep the values consistent), I'd like to implement a series of drop-down boxes populated with the relevant values so that users can simply select the most relevant option and save their page.

Is this possible? I've been looking through the marketplace and found a number of 'form' plugins, but they all seem to be focused on submitting the information somewhere, which isn't really relevant for us. We just want to save the choices within the page for future reference.

Thanks very much in advance for your help,

Simon

Thanks for the reply Jonathan - and for the link to easy dropdown.

It looks great, but it seems like it's only available for server installations which is frustrating.

I should have mentioned in the post above that we're using a cloud licence of Confluence. Is there anything similar we can use on that side of things?

We just purchased Easy Dropdown Menu add-on in our environment for the purpose you described above. Within this product, you can have a 'predefined' dropdown list that can be used globally. So if you have a standard approval process, you can make these dropdown choices in the administration section, then allow people to add the easy dropdown (predefined) macro onto a page.

Note: If you get the free version of the product, the results are not filterable in the Table Filter macro. The paid version (pretty cheap) allows proper filtering of the dropdown choices.
