The basic metadata macro allows the attachment of a single piece of metadata to a page.

This allows a single metadata value stored on an individual page to be referenced from other pages (see the space-metadata macro for the equivalent functionality for spaces).

Excerpt

To add a single piece of metadata to a page, choose the Metadata (Metadata Plugin) macro in the Confluence macro browser:

macro browser metadata plugin optionImage Removedmacro browser metadata plugin optionImage Added

Simply add your chosen metadata name to the macro editor e.g. Owner. This metadata name will be case sensitive.

Insert the macro to the page.

Add the value of the metadata to the metadata macro placeholder.

To see the page display, choose the placeholder Edit option.

The added metadata value is now displayed in the macro editor Preview.

(info) The metadata macro body accepts both plain text and simple wiki markup for the value.

The metadata is stored as un-rendered wiki markup, so in this case the value |Captain Comala| is stored for the Owner metadata. The wiki markup will create a cell in a table containing the text value of the metadata, Owner.

If you don't want the metadata value displayed on this page, simply check the Hidden option in the macro editor.

(info) This only hides the metadata value on the current page. It will not affect the visibility on any pages where the metadata is reused.
