since 1.9: Org Charts

You can now define which field of the type "User select (autocomplete)" holds the superior/subordinate connection of one user to another.

since 1.9: Easier field order configuration

In older CUP versions you had to assign position numbers to fields and categories to define the order of fields. Now you are able to reposition fields via drag&drop. Just drag fields to a new position in the same or another category! To reposition the categories themselves, click the "Move category" button, reorder the categories and click "Finish moving".

Known Issues

"Profile Updated" by Anonymous due to Confluence Synchronization

When Confluence synchronize against any external user management, all of the newly created and updated users will be displayed under the "All Updates" section of "Recently Updated" macro in Confluence dashboard.

Considering the amount of users Confluence will create or update from the synchronization, it would be better if it is excluded from "All Updates" section. Or at least, Confluence should provide the option to exclude these updates.

From Confluence 5.5 and later you can add the following argument in your JVM options to prevent updates to user information appearing in the dashboard https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-32081

Parentheses in filters are treated wrong

Since we have introduced complex filters for your custom landing pages, parentheses in filters are treated as logical characters. So your filter might be broken if you try to filter by attributes containing parentheses.
A workaround would be using the wildcard '?' instead of a parenthesis.
