list select
- Robert Alexander Marshall
list selectÂ
macro
{list-select}Defines a column as a selection (drop-down menu).Â
The selection can be from a list of options, a list of labels or a list of users.
Add the list-select macro
The  list-select macro is added to the body of the list macro to create a drop-down selection column in the list on the page.
The drop-down selection is configured in the Edit 'List select' macro dialogue box.
If Use Labels is not checked and no Users group is specified, a list of options for the selection can be added to the macro body.
Use labels for the drop-down selection options
Checking Use Labels, will allow the choice of existing labels from the list content to be added to the macro body to be used as the drop-down selection options. Content in the list that has one of these labels will show the label pre-selected in the drop-down selection.
If labels are used, changing the drop-down selection will update the label on the linked page.
User group members for the drop-down selection options
Adding a Confluence user group to Users group in the Edit macro dialogue box will populate the drop-down selection with the group members.
Configure access and storage of the column values
The list-select macro can be configured so
the column values to be read-only
the column values are stored with the row entry page or stored in the page containing the list
The values can be accessed as metadata values (see the Parameters table below).
See Examples 5, 6 and 7.
