Confluence Cloud rich text macro contain another rich text macro

[Leon]

Hi Guys,

This is a question I have when I tried to make a rich text macro contain another rich text macro. In the Confluence Cloud edit mode, I have a parent rich text macro which able to contain other none rich text macro. What I wanted to do is, I want to make the parent rich text macro contain another child rich text macro.

Both macros are set as rich-text in the descriptor(simplified).
Parent macro:

{
  "key": "parent-rich-text",
  "url": "some-url",
  "bodyType": "rich-text",
  "featured": true,
}

Child macro:

{
  "key": "child-rich-text",
  "url": "some-url",
  "bodyType": "rich-text"
}

A sample screenshot as below:

I wonder what I’m trying to achieve is doable?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Leon,

Confluence Cloud doesn’t allow nested rich text macros. However, Atlassian is planning to introduce a new feature that they refer to as “Referentiality”, basically meaning that they assign a macro an identifier that you can refer to from within your macro:

Sneak Peak at Referentiality within Confluence

Hello there Atlassian Partner Developers, During the last few months, we have been focused on addressing a key functionality gap between Confluence Server and Confluence Cloud - specifically support for nesting bodied macros in the Fabric editor. Nesting bodied macros allows customers in Server to compose elaborate macro structures which can easily pass their content upward to an outer macro. While we continue to encourage customers and apps towards the Cloud, these structures will not a…

However, it’s still under development, so I think there is no way to do what you’re looking to do at the moment Confluence Cloud just doesn’t support nested rich text macros anymore.
