Macro differences between Scaffolding Data Center and Scaffolding Cloud
This macro creates a form with various types of input fields, which correspond to Scaffolding macros in data center.
Macros in Scaffolding Data Center
Scaffolding Data Center includes 19 macros. Due to the architectural differences between Confluence Data Center and Confluence Cloud, some macros are not migratable to cloud, while others are converted to input fields within the Scaffolding - Field Group macro in cloud.
The Group Data macro in data center converts to the Scaffolding - Field Group macro in cloud. The Scaffolding macros inside the Group Data macro convert to input fields within the Scaffolding - Field Group macro.

-
The data in the Group Data macro migrates to the Scaffolding - Field Group macro in cloud only if:
The Group Data macro is at the root level of the page structure.
The Group Data macro contains Scaffolding macros that can convert to input fields within the Scaffolding - Field Group macro:
Attachment Data
Date Data
List Data (with an option-generating sub-macro)
Number Data
Table Data
Repeating Data
Text Data
The value of the Field name parameter of the Scaffolding - Field Group macro inherits the value of the Field name parameter of the Group Data macro.
One additional empty Scaffolding - Field Group macro is created with the Field name parameter value migrated. This can be deleted.
The data in the Group Data macro doesn’t migrate in the following:
The Group Data macro is nested within any other macro.
The Group Data macro contains incompatible or non-migratable Scaffolding macros unavailable in cloud:
The List Data macro in data center converts to the Scaffolding - Field Group macro in cloud. The option-generating macro within the List Data macro converts to a field within the Scaffolding - Field Group macro.

Cannot combine different option types into a single dropdown menu. Each input field within the Field Group macro generates a separate dropdown menu.
The following parameters are not available in cloud and, therefore, their values don’t migrate:
Type
Separator
Custom separator
Blank Text
Width
Height
The data in the List Data macro migrates to the Scaffolding - Field Group macro with a corresponding field in cloud only if:
The List Data macro is at the root level of the page structure or nested only within one of the following compatible macros:
Group Data
Repeating Data
Table Data
The List Data macro is not set with a custom separator.
For options generation, the List Data macro contains one of the following:
multiple List Option macros
a single Content Options macro
a single User Options macro
a single Attachment Options macro
a single Label Options macro
If the List Data macro is nested with multiple option-generating macros, only the first option-generating macro migrates to cloud. Multiple option-generating macros migrate only if they are List Option macros.
The Field name, Required, and Allow Multiple parameters of the corresponding field within the Field Group macro inherit the parameters of the List Data macro.
The data in the List Data macro doesn’t migrate if:
The List Data macro is nested within an incompatible macro.
The List Data macro is set with a custom separator.
The List Data macro contains multiple option-generating macros that are different from the List Option macro.
Multiple List Option macros within the List Data macro in data center convert to the Dropdown list field within the Scaffolding - Field Group macro in cloud.

The following macro parameters are not available in cloud and, therefore, their values don’t migrate:
Label
Sort Value
New parameter in cloud:
Helper text
An option to select a color for each label.
The data in the List Option macros migrate to the Dropdown list field within the Scaffolding - Field Group macro only if:
The parent List Data macro is either at the root level of the page structure or nested only within one of the following compatible macros:
Group Data
Repeating Data
Table Data
The List Option macros are the only sub-macros or the first sub-macros within the List Data macro.
The macro parameters after the migration are as follows:
The value of the Field name parameter of the Scaffolding - Field Group macro is migrated.
The Field name, Required, and Allow multiple parameters of the Dropdown list field inherit the corresponding parameters of the parent List Data macro.
The Labels parameter of the Dropdown list field inherits the Value parameters of the List Option macros.
The Label parameters of the List Option macros don’t migrate. If the Label parameters are configured in data center, the dropdown list items in cloud differ from the dropdown list items in data center.
The data in the List Option macros is not migratable in the following cases:
The parent List Data macro is nested within an incompatible macro.
The parent List Data macro contains another option-generating sub-macro preceding the List Option macros.
The Content Options macro within the List Data macro in data center converts to the Page list field within the Scaffolding - Field Group macro in cloud.

The data in the Content Options macro migrates to the Page list field within the Scaffolding - Field Group macro only if:

The Content Options macro is a single sub-macro or the first sub-macro within the List Data macro.
The macro parameters after the migration are as follows:
The value of the Field name parameter of the Scaffolding - Field Group macro is migrated.
The Field name, Allow multiple, and Required parameters of the Page list field inherit the corresponding parameters of the parent List Data macro.
The data in the Content Options macro doesn’t migrate in the following cases:
The parent List Data macro is nested within an incompatible macro.
The List Data macro contains another option-generating sub-macro preceding the Content Options macro.
The Attachment Options macro within the List Data macro in data center convertsto the Files list field within the Scaffolding - Field Group macro in cloud.
