[ { "author": "David Peterson", "body": "Hi there,\n\nI'm assuming you're trying something like this:\n\n```\n{my-macro:someParam={report-info:data:My Field}}\n```\n\nAs you noted, that won't work - it's simply not how Confluence parses macros. There is a workaround however. You can 'inject' values into other macros by using the {report-on:injected=true} macro that comes with the Reporting Plugin. You can also use the {replace-and-render} macro from Adaptavist, but I'll leave that example for others.\n\nTo to use {report-on} in this situation, it would be something like this:\n\n```\n*My Parameter Value:* {text-data:My Parameter Value}\n```\n\n```\n{report-on:injected=true}{some-other-macro:theParameter=%data:My Parameter Value%}{report-on}\n```\n\nThe '%...%' markup is pasted in before the {some-other-macro} is executed, which should achieve what you're after. Check out the documentation for more details:\n\n<http://wiki.customware.net/repository/display/AtlassianPlugins/report-on>\n\n<http://wiki.customware.net/repository/display/AtlassianPlugins/Suppliers>\n\nHope that helps!\n\nRegards,\n\nDavid Peterson\n", "comments": null } ]

[ { "author": "David Peterson", "body": "Hi Charlie,\n\nThey can work together, but you can't put {eval-data} macros into a report. Reports can pull values from {eval-data} that is in a Scaffolding {table-data} or {repeating-data} however.\n\nIf you want to do maths inside a report, use the {report-eval} macro instead. It works quite similarly to the {eval-data} macro, but has a slightly different syntax. Also, values are only stored for the life of that specific page view, whereas for {eval-data} they are stored more permanently with other Scaffolding data.\n\nIn any case, to get your report working there are two options:\n\n1. Move the {eval-data} into the {table-data} instead, then refer to it as you would any other Scaffolding data field (ie. '{report-info:data:Percentage}').\n\n2. Use {report-eval} instead, like so:\n\n```\n{report-column:title=Percentage}\n```\n\n```\n {report-eval:Percentage|format=#0.00}round((((60*24*%report:content root > data:reporting-days%-%grouped:Count > stats:sum%/(60*24*%report:content root > data:reporting-days%))*100, 2){report-eval}\n```\n\n```\n{report-column}\n```\n\nNote that you can completely remove the {replace-and-render} from this report. Also, I'm assuming that 'reporting-days' is a {number-data} field on the page somewhere that you haven't listed.\n\nIn general, it's best not to mix Scaffolding macros into reports.

My guess is that TOC has changed the way it is generating itself recently and we hadn't noticed. Either that, or Confluence itself has changed the way that it sends events.\n\nEssentially, the TOC caches the actual headings when you save it so that it doesn't have to recalculate it every time you view the page. However, for whatever reason, Scaffolding thinks it is still in 'edit' mode when getting rendered for this purpose, and as such, the edit box shows up.\n\nThis will require a bug fix, so my suggestion is to create a [bug report](https://greenhouse.customware.net/jira/browse/SCAFF) and I'll schedule it for investigation. In the meantime, there is a workaround. You need to force TOC to refresh itself after you save the Scaffolding page. The way to do this is to add '?refresh=true' to the URL for the page when in view mode. Eg:\n\n```\nhttp://yourserver/confluence/display/SPACEKEY/My+Page?refresh=true\n```\n\nIt only needs to be done once after saving.

Eg:\n\n```\nh1. {text-data:Heading} {anchor:my heading}\n```\n\nThis will give TOC something to work with. However, if you're in a {repeating-data} section or something like that which is dynamically generated, you obviously don't want a static anchor.
