How can I create a custom field in confluence that should appear on page edit? Basically a search bar field where I can search a user and pick them to take some action.

There is no such concept of custom field in Confluence. But, if I understand your requirement correctly then you are looking for Task List. You can search for a username, pick the one you need and assign to a task. enter image description here

Let me know if you are looking for something else or this answer helped you to solve your problem.

EDIT

After understanding the problem in detail I have updated the answer as below: You can develop a macro which takes username as an input and store the required information and send edit notification to the user under cc. You will need to explore dipper inside the APIs in order to implement custom email notification.

  • Thanks MrKumar. I am trying to implement a CC field in confluence similar to watchers so that I can send diff of the changes on a page edit to the person mentioned in CC field. – Rishi Nov 28 '17 at 17:16
  • Also this CC field should appear to every confluence page on page edit irrespective of Space. – Rishi Nov 28 '17 at 17:17

Does not page properties serve the purpose of adding stakeholders and Confluence email updates? – MrKumar Nov 28 '17 at 19:07
