The main problems:
- The layouts of container are components, only columns in XWiki Standard, so their list has to be computed on the wiki.
- The menu type combines a type, horizontal or vertical, with modifiers, which a wiki macro cannot declare as a list.
Depends on Most of these fields cannot be offered before these generic changes, each giving the macro the means to declare the expected value:
- XWIKI-23045, which lets a parameter get its values from a provider, with or without custom values.

The page of each macro, linked in the table, has the full notes and the steps to reproduce. Fixing them means changing the declaration of the parameters in the macro definitions. |
