When working multiple boards/projects at once, is there a way to assign a status per BOARD?
Asked by Dana Lind:

Trying to determine a way to be able to quickly identify which projects/boards require priority via quick visual identification. I thought of using the background colors and creating my own key for what each color represents, but does anyone know if there's another way to assign an actual status to an entire board that can be viewed when viewing all boards?

Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.

author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Dana Lind](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3028913) my typical setup for project based businesses is to have a "board of boards"; that is, a board where each card is linked to a board:

<https://blog.trello.com/related-cards-related-boards>

This means you can store "meta" information about those boards, on the cards they're linked to and see them at a glance (labels, lists, checklists etc.)

If you add in some API automation, this can really shine: for example, every day at 5am create a checklist on each card with an item linked to each of the cards in the "Doing" list on its linked board. If you check off one of those items, move the corresponding card to the "Done" list in its board, and correspondingly when you move a card to the list "Done" mark the corresponding checklist item complete. The possibilities are endless :)

This is the type of thing you can do with the Butler power up, however in that case you would need to enable the power up and rules for each of these new boards you create.

You can also use Trellinator which allows you to add each of these new boards into a "global command group" so they would all inherit the same behaviour.

This "board of boards" approach is more or less the exact scenario I outline in the introduction to Trellinator article here:

Trello board progress?
Asked by Ashley Schipper:

I am looking for a powerup or workaround that can show overall progress on a board I have created. The board doesn't necessarily have due dates - however, it has several cards with various checklists. I am using it in the typical "to do, doing, done" format. How can I show overall board progress on something like this? Is there some sort of powerup that can generate a percentage of items completed at the board level? Or perhaps turn a card green when it is complete? Something to show an at a glance view of the board progress.

I look forward to any ideas the community has!

Thank you!

A

author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Ashley Schipper](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3023870) hmm okay well what about a Butler command that says something like:

when a card is added to list "To Do" add a red label and remove a green label and remove a blue label

When a card is added to list "Doing" add a green label and remove a blue label and remove a red label

when a card is added to list "Done" remove a red label and remove a green label and add a blue label

Hi Ashley,

Have you seen the [Epics Power-Up](https://trello.com/power-ups/5b7ae739fad82e45988016cf/epic-cards-by-screenful) by Screenful?

It's a nice solution to track dependent tasks in a Trello Board, but it also shows you the percentage of subtasks done on a task. (And it even works across boards!)

I have written an article about a bunch of possible solutions to track task dependencies. You can read it here: <https://medium.com/@nspirITing/3-pioneering-ways-to-manage-task-dependencies-in-trello-9ae96d69680>

Can't Select Correct Parent Page for Children Display Macro
Asked by Cate Vieira:

Hi there,

I am trying to insert the macro "Children Display" and when I search for a particular page, it comes up with options but not the page I am looking for. It lists other spaces, it lists pages with the name included in its title, but I can't seem to get it to display the page I want as an option. I tried inserting the direct link, but that doesn't work.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: mikevandonselaar-ilionx
body: Hi Cate (and other people who might stumble across this issue),

I had the same issue with multiple pages on multiple spaces. In my case, following the steps below 'fixed' the issue:

* Go to the page you want to include in the Children display
* Temporary rename that page
* Go to the children display, delete it and add it again
* The page now suddenly popped up in the 'Parent page' search box of the children display
* Change the renamed page back to the original name

Hope this helps you as well!

Regards,

Mike


author: Jessica
body: Hi Cate,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!  

That should work searching for a page in the[Children Display macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-children-display-macro/) as long the page is not restricted and you're able to see it.   

By any chance, the page you are searching, have only one letter in the title (for example, it is called **A** ), **punctuation marks** or any other special characters on it?

In case the page is not restricted and none of those applies, please let me know! We may need to check further on it.  

Hope to hear from you soon! :)  
Jessica

comments: author: Cate Vieira
body: Hi there, thanks for that. No strange punctuation. It only shows many pages that have the same word somewhere in their title, but not the one I want. It only happens when the page has a more generic title (ie a page called "Product" returns results for a lot of pages as many have the word product in its title) I can't seem to scroll or click a "view all" to then see all the options and select the one I want. The only workaround I have is to change the page title to something more unique (like put my name in it) so that I can search for the new title, set up the macro, and then update the page title to what I want it to be.


author: Jessica
body: Hey Cate,  

Thank you for letting me know.   
We may need to look further on that, so I have created the following Support ticket for you: [JST-675902](https://getsupport.atlassian.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/23/JST-675902)

Keeping the initial URL when choosing between Atlassian Clouds
Asked by Sergey Solovyev:

Hi,

Could you please clarify whether the following behaviour is by design:

1. I have access to two different Atlassian Clouds (Cloud A/ Organization A \& Cloud B/Organization B).

2. I log in to Cloud A/ Organization A and access the Confluence page e.g. ++<https://orgA.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/123/pages/1234567/Test+Page>++

3. Then I login to Cloud B/Organization B and access the Confluence page e.g. ++<https://orgB.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/123/pages/1234567/Test+Page>++

Login process is made by choosing the second account here (I am already authenticated to both clouds): ++[https://id.atlassian.com/login/select-account?application=confluence\&login_hint=not%3Auser%40domain2.com](https://id.atlassian.com/login/select-account?application=confluence&login_hint=not%3Auser%40domain2.com)++

4. When opening a Confluence page from Cloud A/ Organization A again (where being "logged" to the Cloud B/ Organization B currently) system redirects me to

++[https://id.atlassian.com/login/manage-session?application=confluence\&login_hint=not%user%domain1.com\&token=eyJraWQiO](https://id.atlassian.com/login/manage-session?application=confluence&login_hint=not%user%domain1.com&token=eyJraWQiO) \<... JWT token ...\>++ where it probably validates the existing session to the Cloud A/Organization A and after it to ++<https://start.atlassian.com/>++ which means the initial context (URL) is lost and I am forced to copy/paste or click the same required Confluence URL , pointing to Confluence Cloud A/Organization A page again.

It will be more user-friendly to keep the original context and make a redirection to it (the initial URL) after being authenticated against the next existing cloud from the list.

Thanks

For org A what type of Atlassian Account is it? (Atlassian, Google, etc.)

For Org B what type of Atlassian Account is it?

Depending on the account type the behavior can be a little different especially if it is Google and your browser is chrome and you are logged into chrome with the same google account.

Confluence Cloud - Jira Server - Reporting
Asked by Nick Watts:

Hi,

Migrating from Server to Cloud for Confluence, but leaving Jira on Server. I have connected the two instances so some dashboards work on Confluence Cloud, displaying Jira server data, but some of the custom gadgets dont work on Cloud and cant be added. I tried installing the Custom Jira Charts macro, but can't see how to connect that to the Jira Server instance.

Any suggestions how they can connect, of how to add new cusom gadgets into Confluence cloud?


Answers:

Custom Jira Charts for Confluence Cloud is only compatible with Cloud instances of Jira at the moment so it's not possible to mix and match Server and Cloud. This is due to the way we manage security on Cloud as we do not store any credentials so are not able to connect to Jira Server instances at this time.

If this feature becomes available I will let you know!

Lock pages when they are finished?
Asked by Niall McCaffrey:

I am looking for a way to simply lock a page for editing, once it is deemed complete.

In our system, once a page has been approved, it's important to us that no one comes in and makes further changes to that page without the admins permission. However, people should still be able to edit on other pages. I cant seem to find a way for an admin to simply lock a page. We are using Scroll Versions, and the scroll versions workflow. We have authors who both write and review pages, however once a page gets set to review or complete, I want only administrators to be able to unlock it again. This needs to be set per-page, as some of the content authors are the reviewers. But once a page is approved, only admins should be able to alter it.

If there is an alternative way to go about achieving something similar I'd love to hear about that, too. We don't publish to other spaces, due to the number of variants and spaces we have already.


Answers:
author: Dave Bosman [Realdolmen]
body: Hi [@Niall McCaffrey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4411862)

Out of the box this is not possible. But if i'm not mistaken you can solve this with plugin.

You should look in to the plugins from Comala. In the past they had a plugin called Comala Workflows, but it has been renamed to (i believe) Comala Document management.

It is a very powerfull plugin where you can create workflows and perform things as soon as the status is changed.

The plugin Scroll versions that you are using is by K15t and they also offer a free plugin to integrate your scroll versions with the Comala plugin.

A quick search provided me with this result.

Blue (#003366 ) text appearing here and there
Asked by Niall McCaffrey:

I notice that certain bits of text are colored #003366, and I don't understand why. Sometimes its just headings. Sometimes its a whole paragraph. Sometimes its a part of a sentence. It's always #003366.

Any idea what might be causing this? Is there a keyboard shortcut that people are accidently hitting? Is it something to do with copying and pasting text from other applications into confluence? I cannot really see a pattern here. Doing "Clear formatting" restores it, but I really want to know why it is occurring in the first place. It occurs on about 5% of our Confluence pages so it's quite frequent.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Niall McCaffrey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4411862)

Most likely it is copy and paste. If you look at the history can you determine who the users are that it is occurring on their edits. You could then ask them what they are doing and see if you can recreate. Then you could address the issue through training.

comments: author: Niall McCaffrey
body: Actually I believe it is a bug in the editor. I see these color tags being inserted sometimes when no formatting or copy-paste type edit is performed. Unfortunately I dont have concrete reproduction steps, and it's not showing up in the history.
