Releases 2021
December 16th 2021
Bugfix
fixed a problem in some instances to ensure the display of workflow history where Atlassian Confluence generated long contentIDs (greater than 9007199254740991)
This is related to an Atlassian issue in some instances where Atlassian generated a long contentID - it could not be correctly handled by Confluence or certain add-on apps. Atlassian has currently resolved the issue by handling the contentID as a string instead of a number.
The Comala Document Management family of apps has been updated to be able to handle the contentID as a string as well.
December 14th 2021
Update
from now on migration data values for Comala Document Management will use a new attribute
eventType
(with eitherapp-data-uploaded
orlistener-triggered
values) that holds the current information for events fired by the Atlassian App migration platform. This is due to the Atlassian App migration platform deprecation notice for the webhookEventType attribute

Comala Document Management can now use inWebo authentication as an option when e-signatures are enabled

inWebo simply passes an API key and an inWebo Service ID - to Comala Document Management

all other 2FA use is disabled when inWebo is used for authentication

February 18th 2021
Workflows can now be edited to add a select transition to a state.
Each individual state can be configured to allow users to use the workflow popup to choose a destination state and transition the workflow to this state.
One or more options for the destination state are displayed in the dropdown menu in the workflow popup.
The destination state options displayed in the popup are configured using the transition editor in workflow builder.
The select transition cannot be used
in a state with an approval
in a final state
A select transition can be added to a state together with an expired transition and an updated transition.
A select transition will not be available to add to a state with an approval added - the transitions editor will only display the approved, rejected, updated and expired transition options.
Adding an approval to a state with a previously added select transition will replace the Submit option on the workflow popup on the content with the Approve and Reject buttons.
