Hello together, We have currently updated our confluence instance to version 7.3.1 and our user information macro does not work properly anymore. With this macro we used to retrieve the user profile information e.g. phone, location and IM. Therefore we used the following code (part of the code): ## @param Group:title=Group|type=string|required=true|desc=Group name #set($containerManagerClass = $action.class.forName(‘com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager’)) #set($getInstanceMethod = $containerManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod(‘getInstance’,null)) #set($containerManager = $getInstanceMethod.invoke(null,null)) #set($containerContext = $containerManager.containerContext) #set($userDetailsManager = $containerContext.getComponent(‘defaultUserDetailsManager’)) #set($personalInformationManager = $containerContext.getComponent(‘personalInformationManager’)) #set($userAccessor = $containerManager.containerContext.getComponent(‘userAccessor’)) #set($users = $userAccessor.getMembers($userAccessor.getGroup($paramGroup)) ) #foreach($user in $users) #if(!$userAccessor.isDeactivated($user)) #set($phone = $userDetailsManager.getStringProperty($user, ‘phone’) ) #set($department = $userDetailsManager.getStringProperty($user, ‘Department’) ) #set($location = $userDetailsManager.getStringProperty($user, ‘Location’) ) #set($im = $userDetailsManager.getStringProperty($user, ‘IM’) ) #if(!$userDetailsManager.getStringProperty($user, ‘phone’) ) #set($phone = ‘-’) #end #if(!$userDetailsManager.getStringProperty($user, ‘Department’)) #set($department = ‘-’) #end #if(!$userDetailsManager.getStringProperty($user, ‘Location’)) #set($location = ‘-’) #end #if(!$userDetailsManager.getStringProperty($user, ‘IM’)) #set($im = ‘-’) #end For every user just the ‘-’ is displayed, so the method getStringProperty( ) does not work correctly. I have already looked a the community post [Can't use contentPropertyManager anymore in user macro since 7.0.3](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/cant-use-contentpropertymanager-anymore-in-user-macro-since-7-0-3/32956) But unfortunately, this did not really help. Have anyone else already experienced the same problem? Many thanks in advance & Best regards, Birgit ---

I have a problem which started with Confluence 7 upgrade. Something has been changed and depreciated that previously perfectly worked code doesn’t work anymore. That was used to get also About Me field information visible in a nice way. Originally code was taken from internet with a small tuning.
