In the Macro Browser, how do I display a drop-down menu of attachments for a user macro?

[David at David Simpson Apps]

I've used the following syntax to produce a select field (dropdown menu) for a list of attachments in the Macro Browser, but the list is blank

## @param attachment:title=Attachment|type=attachment|required=true|desc=Choose an attachment

Is this functionality even possible? If so, please show an example.

I'm guessing you saw that parameters could be attachments somewhere in a plugin.xml file or maybe in macro-browser-fields.js. You're right - it's supposed to be working. It got left out of the documentation about what types are allowed. See the parameter types documentation.

Anyways, documentation or no, it's a bug. Track it at CONF-24016. There's a good explanation of the root cause there.

Thanks @Jeremy Largman. I hadn't spotted that this was a bug, just thought that it was an omission and would be damn handy.

Btw: I quite like this new(ish) "poke atlassian" function. How's that going? Are us AAC users using it wisely or abusing it? ;-)

It's been an interesting experiment. I like it, in general. A few people hit it for every question, right away. I'm not sure I'd call that abuse, though? I'm still trying to figure out if Atlassian should staff Answers officially, and if so to what degree. One thought is if people want answers from us - whether here or in support.a.c - we should give them out. Another thought is that this is a community, we will moderate but it's not a support channel. Yet another is that you don't have to pay for maintenance if you use Answers and poke Atlassian all the time. Hopefully we'll strike the right balance. As an experiment this has gone well so far.
