Open config when a Confluence Macro is inserted

Forge Forge UI Kit and Custom UI

I have a Confluence macro module implemented with Custom UI and its config written in UIKit has been working as expected.

The only problem is, however, when a user insert the macro for the first time, I don’t have a way to automatic bring up the configuration UI. Because there is no sensible default value can be provided, the user is always required to click on the “Edit” button of the macro to bring up the configuration.

Is it possible to automatically show the configuration UI when a Confluence Macro is inserted?

It’s the default UX with Connect macros. Makes no sense they removed it in Forge.

I don’t believe there’s a way to do it automatically. You can use useConfig to change the UI text of the macro to remind users to click Edit if nothing’s set, but I don’t think it’s a way to open it without them taking action.
