The version number of this piece of content. 

When using the metadata properties in the Comala Metadata app macros ensure that the property is added with the initial character for each string in the property name as a capital letter - use Version not version

In Comala Metadata app macro dates from internal metadata (such as a blog's post date, the last modified date of a page, etc) will retrieve date fields in the user date and time format preferences.

These can be sorted by the macros based on this field.

Comala Metadata App created metadata currently cannot have their values retrieved in any date and time format.

When using a macro to set a metadata that is a date and time, Confluence search and CQL will return the value as a string value unless the metadata value is added in the following format yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS.

  • for example, creating the metadata End Date with a value of Dec 2023 or 08/09/2024 will be returned as a string value and is not recognized as a date format value
