Creating task list: Have spaces in a dropdown in scaffolding
Hello.
I'm starting building a task/bug list in Confluence for my company. We are a software developers and I would like to have a global task list for my company. In this list our staff could create tasks and would with a dropdown specify which customer asked for that task. As our customers have their own spaces each it would be good to have a dropdown in the scaffolding to select which space this task is connected to.
In each customer space I would then have a reporter which would filter the task list to only show tasks marked for that space. Is this possible. If not I would just hardcode the customer list in a dropdown but I would like to have filtered report list in each space for the global task list.
Is there possibility to create a report which would filter all dates that are less than current date in the scaffolding?
I would like to have the master task list sortable how would I go about doing that?
When our staff are adding new tasks to the list, the plus sign is always at the bottum. Is it possible to have it at the top?
Is it possible to allow adding to the master list from other spaces? I would like to have a simple method of adding tasks without seeing the list, only page with the input fields and add to tasks.
Regards,
Johann

Inappropriate?Hi Johann,
I'll try to answer all your questions - sorry if I miss one :)
1. Filtering on space
There isn't built-in way to generate a list of options based on Spaces, however you could manually create the list yourself, something like:
{list-data:Space}
{list-option:SPACEKEY1}SPACEKEY1{list-option}
{list-option:SPACEKEY2}SPACEKEY2{list-option}
{list-data}
Then, in your space, add a filter like this (assuming all your 'issue' pages are children of 'BUGS:Home'):
{local-reporter:page:children|source=BUGS:Home}
{text-filter:data:Space > reference:value|include=SPACEKEY1}
{local-reporter}
If you'd like to see an option for selecting Spaces in a {list-data} in the future, please create a feature request.
2. Date filtering
I'm not sure if you want to include or exclude dates prior to today, but to include them, add this filter:
{date-filter:data:My Date|maxValue=-0d}
Use 'minValue' if you only want stuff from the future.
3. Sortable lists
At the moment you have to use something like the table-plus macro in the 'Table Plugin'.
4. Plus at the top
Sure, just set 'order=descending' on your {table-data}. Eg:
{table-data:Table|order=descending}
....
{table-data}
Keep in mind that this will be reversed when you display it with Reporting (it actually displays new items at the top of the table, but they are actually stored in normal order). There are a few ways to sort though, so just add an appropriate sorting macro to your reports.
5. Adding to the master list?
I'm assuming the 'master list' is a {table-data} or similar on a page somewhere? In that case no - there isn't any way to edit scaffolding data on a different page. You can only retrieve it.
Depending on how you structure your site, an alternative would be to have each task be it's own individual page with specific data to that issue. You could then have a simple link from another space that would create a new page in the right place and fill in the blanks, but once saved they would have to return to their original location themselves.
