1. Select the Create Macro button on the Macro page. 

2. Select Custom Script Macro.

3. Set the following fields:

   • Key: atl-versions

   • Name: Atlassian Versions

   • Description: Displays the latest version of each Atlassian product

   • Body Type: None

   • Output Type: Block

4. Skip the +Parameter section.

   def httpBuilder = new HTTPBuilder("https://marketplace.atlassian.com")
   def xhtmlContent = ComponentLocator.getComponent(XhtmlContent)
   
   def rt = httpBuilder.request(Method.GET, ContentType.JSON) {
       uri.path = "/rest/1.0/applications"
   }
   
   List<Map> apps = rt.applications
   
   def writer = new StringWriter()
   def builder = new MarkupBuilder(writer)
   
   builder.table {
       tbody {
           tr {
               th { p("App") }
               th { p("Latest version") }
           }
   
           apps.sort { it.order }.each { app ->
               rt = httpBuilder.request(Method.GET, ContentType.JSON) {
                   uri.path = "/rest/1.0/applications/${app.key}"
               }
   
               tr {
                   td { p(app.name) }
                   td { p(rt.versions.isEmpty() ? "No Versions Found" : rt.versions.first().version) }
               }
