This page describes how to access metadata from Confluence User Macros using Value References. This allows even the integration of 3rd party apps, which set metadata, and get it from your custom workflows.

Example

Let's suppose that our custom workflow needs an auditor set in a user macro, as a metadata value (this could be a metadata value already set by a third party app):

1.- A user macro (or the 3rth party app) sets this metadata.auditor:

#set ($containerManagerClass=$content.class.forName('com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager'))
#set ($getInstanceMethod=$containerManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod('getInstance',null))
#set ($containerManager=$getInstanceMethod.invoke(null,null))
#set ($containerContext=$containerManager.containerContext)
#set ($contentPropertyManager=$containerContext.getComponent('contentPropertyManager'))
##Set property
$contentPropertyManager.setTextProperty($content, "metadata.auditor", VALUE)

2. We can validate that the value is properly populated, again with a user macro:

##Test property
#set ($managerProperty = $contentPropertyManager.getTextProperty($content, "metadata.auditor"))
<p>$managerProperty</p

3.- Finally, we reference that metadata with a value reference @metadata.auditor@:

{workflow:name=Metadata example}
  {state:Review|approved=Published|rejected=Review}
    {approval:Editor in Chief|user=@auditor@}
  {state}
  {state:Published|final=true|updated=Draft}
  {state}
{workflow}
