Overview

The space-metadata macro lets you attach a single piece of metadata to a space (see the  metadata macro for the equivalent functionality for pages).

The macro can be added to any page in the space for the metadata to be added to the space.

This option to hide or display the metadata value affects only the page that contains the metadata macro. It does not affect any pages where the metadata is reused.


Usage

Excerpt

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

The space 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 ||Squadron Leader Comala| is stored for the Department metadata. The wiki markup will create a filled cell in a table containing the text value of the metadata, Department.

When using the macro to set a metadata that is a date and time, Confluence search and CQL will return the value as a string value unless the metadata value is added in the following format yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS.

  • for example, creating a metadata End Date with a value of Dec 2023 or 08/09/2024 will be returned as a string value and is not recognized as a date format value

You can add the individual metadata from this space onto a page, for example, using the space-metadata-from macro or one of the report macros.
