Summary

We have created a table with 2 columns. One column for a document name and the other column for last modified date. Is there a way of automatically displaying a modified date in the respective rows when a document is updated?

Solution

Be mindful that customisations are not part of our support scope as per Atlassian Support Offerings. Any effort provided to support issues related to customisation will be on a best-effort basis by the support engineer.

The following User Macro could help:

  1. Go to icon > General Configuration > User Macros
  2. Choose Create a User Macro
  3. Enter the macro details template

    ## @param Page:title=Page|type=confluence-content|required=true|desc=Choose Page to get last modified date for
    #set ( $colonIndex = $paramPage.indexOf(":") )
    #if ( $colonIndex == -1 )
    #set ( $spaceKey = $space.key )
    #set ( $pageName = $paramPage )
    #else
    #set ( $spaceKey = $paramPage.substring(0, $colonIndex) )
    #set ( $pageNameIndex = $colonIndex + 1 )
    #set ( $pageName = $paramPage.substring($pageNameIndex) )
    #end
    #set ( $requestedPage = $pageManager.getPage($spaceKey, $pageName) )
    $action.dateFormatter.formatDateTime($requestedPage.lastModificationDate)
  4. Click Add
  5. Use the user macro in the page
  6. Result example


On recent versions of Confluence (7.19.7 and later), some Velocity template modules won't be rendered in a user macro. Those modules were restricted due to security measures, which can be seen in the CONFSERVER-82741 - Getting issue details... STATUS bug report. Please refer to the bug link for more information on it, as well as a workaround.
