Is it possible to add generic Information to a page

[Thomas H.]

Hello everybody, 

hoping somebody can help me out here  

My problem / the situation: 

I would like to add generic Information to a page (e.g. System preference (CPU, RAM ... like a system documentation) that updates when changes are made. It should be a nice clean solution and nothing like override or update an html tag or something like that  

What I tried so far: 

I wrote a JSON script to POST Metadata over the REST API to the location of the page. (using this documentation for example: https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/REST/latest/ ) 

so confluence received the metadata and I can check it out via this link: https://domain/confluence/rest/api/content/<PAGE-ID>/property

so I tried to use a macro to display the metadata on the page itself- well it won't work  

So maybe it's the wrong approach... So I'm hoping somebody could help me a little bit

Could you make the system info a separate page, then use the Include Page macro on each page? Then when you update the System Info page, all the pages that include it will be updated automatically.

Hi Thomas, 

We can see that you are looking to add such generic information to the instance with REST. However, have you consider using the Confluence Templates and then, once the info is changed, you can manually change it in the template?

Hope it could help you while we don't have an answer for the REST, sir!
