Jira autmated Email lookupIssues.description.html not working to retain description format for email
Asked by James_Gigantes:

Im trying to form an email report using {{LookupIssues}}  

![example.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/219917iD6586859E35A2E7E/image-dimensions/221x456?v=v2 "example.JPG")

I get a result for lookup Issues and I can confirm that the description text is the same. Though I cant seem to pass the description text along with format (as html). It seems to come through as Wiki markup.

++**PROBLEM:**++ I am trying to pass \*{{lookupIssues.get(0).description.html}}\* in order to retain the format present in the issue when viewed on Jira cloud. Though when I place this in the email body, It retains the wiki markup and it wont convert to HTML.

As an Automator, I would like my Issue format to carry through as HTML, so that Outlook can read the code and retain my formatting.

I haven't tried this myself, but I believe it would be this:

```
{{lookupIssues.get(0).description.htmlEncode()}}
```

comments: author: James_Gigantes
body: Sadly that didnt work. I also tried .html as I found on this [LINK](https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/convert-wiki-markup-to-html-or-plain-text-in-jira-automation-993924669.html)


author: James_Gigantes
body: I found that If I pass

```
{{lookupIssues.get(0).description.text}}
```

I can put the HTML in the description field and it passes through the automation and renders properly


author: Mark Segall
body: Thanks for sharing the link. According to the documentation, it's not foolproof.

If you're dealing with a repeatable structure, you may be able to deconstruct/reconstruct it. For example, if the first line is always bolded, you could do something like this:

```
<strong>{{issue.description.text.match("^(.*)$")}}</strong>
<p>
{{issue.description.text.match("(?ms)(?!\A)^\S.*")}}
```

I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it's an alternative option.


author: James_Gigantes
body: I have to master .match function. Thanks Mark! I will test this out. For the moment, it's good enough to pass.


author: James_Gigantes
body: [@Mark Segall](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4666637) Your suggestion pushed me to look a little harder at other solutions. I found that LookupIssues offers custom fields now. This is an awesome development. I will add some custom fields and create custom HTML formatting for each. Thanks!

How to remain Remain anonymous
Asked by Sanjay:

Hello,

How can we remain anonymous while collecting feedback because team members wanted to remain anonymous.

Is there a way we change the settings of that confluence page, so that Train team members can share their feedback on that confluence page.

Thanks,

Sanjay


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I would not recommend doing this because it's asking for malicious posts and spam, but you could let anonymous users submit comments.

It would probably be better to set up a Jira Service Management project configured to capture anonymous feedback as requests and then ask people who want to remain anonymous to post things there.
I would like to set alert flag for inter project dependent user stories.
Asked by M 456:

Here are two Projects, Project A and Project B.

Project A has User story A1 which has a dependency on User Story B1 from project B.

That means User story A1 will wait for the inputs from User Story B1.

Project B : User Story B1 (Completed) --\> Project A : User Story A1(Will start)

Now I would like to set up a flag 5 days before as a alert when the start date for User Story A1 is approaching. This will be Yellow flag as alert.(Flag 1)

Orange flag(flag 2) for 3 days remaining to start the User Story A1.

Red flag (flag 3)for 1 day remaining to start the User story A1 to start on,

This will notify the both the project managers and program manager and all stakeholders that these are blockers .

Please let me know how to to automation on setting these flags and notify the required stakeholders as well for the show stopper in this situation if no action is taken.


Answers:
author: Mark Segall
body: Hi [@M 456](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5050545) and welcome to the community!

You could do something like this (assuming you're manually setting the start date on the issues):

**++Flag Field++**

You'll want to create a custom field that will provide the desired indicators (You can set emojis as the options)

++**AUTOMATION**++

You'll want to create a rule that runs daily. I would set it up like this:

* TRIGGER: Scheduled (No JQL)
* BRANCH:  
  We'll first look for issues that are 5 days out:  
  *

    ```
    StatusCategory = "To Do" AND?issueLinkType = "is blocked by" AND start >= startOfDay(3) AND start < startOfDay(6)
    ```

  * Edit Issue (Your Custom Flag Field)
* BRANCH:  
  We'll first look for issues that are 5 days out:  
  *

    ```
    StatusCategory = "To Do" AND?issueLinkType = "is blocked by" AND start >= startOfDay(1) AND start < startOfDay(4)
    ```

  * Edit Issue (Your Custom Flag Field)
* BRANCH:  
  We'll first look for issues that are 5 days out:

scrape an Atlassian confluence web page
Asked by Haroon Habibi:

is there a way to scrape an Atlassian confluence web page via Invoke-WebRequest and the assorted getElementsByTagName/ID/Name Powershell commands for various data on there?Or, do you absolutely need to have an Atlassian token as a prerequisite?


Answers:
author: Andrii Maliuta
body: Hello [@Haroon Habibi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4970697) ,

From the technical point of view, it is just a web page , so you can use HTTP requests/tools to get necessary data. Confluence, as other Atlassian tools, has its REST API (<https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/rest/7.20.0/>) that also makes it easy to retrieve data and manipualte it.

If you mean using .NET/Powershell tools, so you can try this tool:

<https://atlassianps.org/>

It allows to perform some basic actions on Confluence.

\>\> do you absolutely need to have an Atlassian token as a prerequisite?

If Confluence is not accessible without login so you need to auth either Basic auth or OAuth tokens, etc.

Viewing user history
Asked by Brian Woitte:

I am attempting to perform an audit of a users activity using Confluence Cloud. What spaces they visited and any changes they may have made across the site.

Is there a way to do this? From change management to security, I reckon there is a way.


Answers:
author: Mattia _bitvoodoo ag_
body: Hello [@Brian Woitte](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5050523) ,

what you want is now possible with the [Viewtracker](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/28637/viewtracker-analytics-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app. Find more information [here](https://bitvoodoo-apps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VTCLOUD/pages/12033654827/Content+Usage+Report+Users).

Best regards,

author: Bastien Coucke
body: Hello,

Firstly, you need to be a ++Confluence administrator++ to view the tool that will help you : **audit log**.

The audit log helps you to have a look on the modifications made on your site.

To access to the audit log :

1. Go to the icon setting on the top right on your Confluence panel.

![Picture1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/232727i93AF950CD95184E8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Picture1.png")2. Scroll down the left hand menu and click on the audit log under Administration.

![Picture2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/232728i69F6C7A5E4760671/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Picture2.png")

3. In the Audit log tool, you have many information :

![Picture3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/232729iBA234CCF802946B2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Picture3.png")

a. You can search by keyword and in your case by users.

b. You can filter by time and dates.

c. You can export the log into CSV format.

d. You can set how long the data of the events are saving.

e. You can expand and get a detail view of each event.

**4. You can filter by the names of the users to get the specific modifications**

**![Picture4.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/232730i5036B8DF5EEF17B5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Picture4.png")**

*The audit log contains information about modifications relatives to spaces (creating, edit delete, etc.), the users groups and permissions (add, change, edit, etc.) and changes about the global permissions.*

Be aware that the events in audit log are removed after 90 days but you can choose to modify it.

This is the way !

Best regards,

Bastien Coucke

You don't have dropdowns in Confluence by default, but you can add them with the help of third-party apps from Atlassian vendors. For example, our [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=stiltsoft-article&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_id=1216111&utm_content=drop_down_excel) has Handy Status. This macro allows you to create an unlimited number of sets with statuses and update them in the page view mode. Please, see the screenshot for your reference.

confiforms tableview - first row bug
Asked by Michael K?ng:

Hi,

I have a problem with a confiForms tableview, as soon as I put this tableview inside a other confluence macro, e.g. PANEL, UI_TAB, LAYOUTBOX etc.

As soon as I put the tableview within such a "surrounding" macro, the first row of the tableview is fixed and the background is grey.

I am not sure if the porblem is related to confluence or confiForms, but it seems there are some problems.

Maybe someone else have the same problem and know already a solution, e.g. custom script...

how to access a table on a page via the Confluence Rest API

Using Python and the Confluence Rest API I can return the JSON for a page, given its page id, e.g. <https://confluence.xxx.com/rest/api/content/1234567890>
