How do you backup Confluence
Asked by Petr AST:

Hi there!

I am trying to use this script <https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/automatic-cloud-backup/src/master/> to create automatic cloud backup for Confluence and an error occurs.

*{"size":0,"currentStatus":"Archiving backup descriptor","alternativePercentage":"Progress: 343% longer than last time","concurrentBackupInProgress":false,"time":0,"isOutdated":false}*   
*Exit code: 1*

I have no idea how to fix it.

Does anyone have automatic backups working?

Thanks a lot!

<br />

Thank you for bringing this to us on Community. Can you see if you can report that on the bug tracker for that script?

[https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/automatic-cloud-backup/issues?status=new\&status=open](https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/automatic-cloud-backup/issues?status=new&status=open)

I'll allow others to respond if they could get the script working, but I wanted to show you this other thread that might help. My colleague k. Yamamoto has written an article on how you can automate backups outside of the script:

I hope that helps you!

Take care,

Is our project feasible with the standard macros?
Asked by Christoph Sass:

Hello,

We are in the process of implementing confluence at our company. I have not yet found a solution to the following problem.

We would like to establish a process via the template function, in which ticket solutions and how to's are documented according to a certain scheme.

Included should be:

Component -\> Works well via the variable field.

<br />

Version -\> Also via the variable field.

<br />

Created on -\> We would like to automatically set the current date here. Is there a possibility in the Confluence standard or do we have to solve this by programming?

<br />

Last modified -\> Here we would like to automatically enter the date of the last modification.

<br />

Status -\> Here we are still looking for a suitable workflow that can be cleanly integrated into the template.

<br />

Article number -\> Here we take the confluence number from the URL. Is there a possibility in the standard or do we have to program a macro for this?

Thanks in advance for the support.

Christoph

body: Hello Christoph,

Welcome to Atlassian Community! It's nice to have you join us.

Unfortunately, templates can't access these common Confluence variables, such as created, last modified, and page ID numbers. However, we have a feature request below, which you can watch if you want to stay informed on its status.

* [CONFCLOUD-30567](http://?https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-30567) *Allow for access to common variables in Blueprints templates*

> Status -\> Here we are still looking for a suitable workflow that can be cleanly integrated into the template.

With the current template editor, you can either add this as a variable or include the Status Macro on the template with some instructional text about the intended use of the macro.

I understand you likely want it more automated than that, in which case I would recommend looking at the [templating add-ons on Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=template), or your team can develop something.

* [Confluence Cloud Developer Documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/)
* [Atlassian Developer Resources](https://developer.atlassian.com/resources)

I hope that helps, but let me know if you have any questions.

Take care,

How to know if I'm an admin (in order to create a user macros)
Asked by Nimo:

Hello everyone! I was hoping you could give me a hand.

<br />

?Background? I have been trying to do a few things on Confluence and most times I end up with the answer that using user macros + JavaScript would be required to do so.

?Issue? I have tried to follow the instructions [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html), but I cannot find the "gear" button they mention would lead me to the "General Configuration" page. Does this mean I'm not an admin? (screenshot)   

?Note: My company has supposedly given me all the permissions they have, and I can do things like creating templates or managing other people's permissions on the space.

From the screenshot it seems like you don't have system administrator access on your confluence site. You might have Administrator access on your space, under which you can create pages/templates and add other users to your space.

How can I create lists with custom numbering?
Asked by Sergiy Sidenko:

Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Sergiy Sidenko](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4527071) Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Confluence doesn't support the creation of alpha lists. likewise, it doesn't support alpha-numeric lists, more details [here.](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-7504)

Can the Table of Content macro pick up header tags from inside an html macro?
Asked by Carissa Chan:

Hello!

I placed headers within the html macro like so and noticed that the they cannot be "seen" by the table of contents macro in the page's preview mode. However, it does appear when I preview the macro itself. What you see in the Page Preview are only the tester headings I placed outside of macros. Html nested headers like "Step 1 - Prose Barcode Generator", "Step 2 - Load Plate onto Labeler", etc. do not appear. Thanks in advance!

Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hello Carissa,

Hope you're doing well!

While checking the Table of contents and the HTML macro and adding headings on the HTML comment macro, on my tests here, for me it does not recognize the headings already, even if it is on the preview mode of the ToC macro.

However, I must say that the HTML comment macro is currently deprecated in the legacy editor (although you may still be able to see it there) accordingly to our documentation [We're cleaning up our macros](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/we-re-cleaning-up-the-macro-browser-946028471.html) and this is no longer present on the new editor, so I'm afraid to say that it might be an expected behavior not working with the ToC macro.

I did some tests with the expand macro and the panel macro on the legacy editor, and it works without any issues there. So this means that ToC should work with our native macros, with an exception for the HTML macro, given its current state.

That being said, Carissa, if there is anything though that is not working besides the headings inside the HTML macro, please let us know, so we can look further on that!  

Kindest Regards,  
Jessica

Custom Field values not displayed in the Jira IssueFilter Macro
Asked by Gowtam Kamath:

Hi,

I have created a custom field in Jira. The field contains list with single selection. When I display the issue list in confluence using Jira Issue/Filter macro (in a tabular format), the value for Custom column is empty for every row(jira issue). Interestingly when I create a pie chart based on custom field, it does display the chart correctly.

There are lot of questions asked in the community on this topic but I couldn't find any with a satisfying answer.

We are using Jira Cloud. Context is set to Default Configuration Scheme ie the custom field is available to all issue types across all projects

Any pointers are helpful

Thanks,

Gowtam Kamath

How can I make the title of each card in a specific Trello list generate a new line in Excel?
Asked by Stephanie Mellor:

I have a list in Trello that I would like to use to directly populate an Excel spreadsheet. I know there is a way to feed Excel using the comments in a Trello card, but is it possible to use other parts of the card (such as the title or description) to populate Excel as well?


Answers:

Cannot see all changes on the published page.
Asked by Carissa Chan:

Hello there,

I noticed that many of the changes like formatting and images are not displaying in the published page but do appear in the Preview mode. So far, I have tried the follow fixes:

1) using a more secure network

2) refreshing the page

3) clearing cache/history.

4) reattaching the images. **NOTE**: It seems it is omitting macro elements though as opposed to the images alone.

**Preview Mode**

I am uploading the images from my computer and placing them inside a column macro that's then wrapped inside of a section macro. Hope that makes sense....probably not. See below. Thanks again!

author: Carissa Chan

body: Yes just trying to see what the location of the image is. Or after you publish if you look at the page are the images in the html?

author: Carissa Chan
body: Interesting! The images successfully appeared on a different page after publishing. Does this mean I will need to recreate that same page in order for the images to update properly?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: My guess is that there is something on the page that is messing up the display of the image. You might try making a new page and seeing if you can get it to work. My guess is it has something to do with the html you pasted in.

How to automate Butler Board Buttons
Asked by Ward Luitjes:

I made Board Button. But I have to mannually start this button (sorting cards on due date in a list) manually each time. Is it possible to run this x time per dau automattically?


Answers:
author: Katrin Anger
body: [@Ward Luitjes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3531577)

As [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) rightfully said, you can set up a Rule with the Butler Power-Up to have this executed automatically.

But you do not necessarily need a paid account for setting up Rules. You only need a paid account, if you exceed your monthly quota. - Admittedly, with a free account you would be quite limited.

Here's an overview of [Butler's quotas](https://help.trello.com/article/1181-butler-features-and-quotas) with the different accounts in Trello.

comments: author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Katrin Anger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2708783) oh right did they change that? I could have sworn when the power up was initially released I didn't have access to recurring triggers on the free plan ... anyway thanks for correcting


author: Katrin Anger
body: [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112)

Card Buttons, Board Buttons and Rules can be created with a free account.

But Due Date and Calendar commands are only available in any of the paid accounts.


author: Ward Luitjes
body: Hi [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) and [@Katrin Anger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2708783) ,

Thank you for you response. I have a trello gold account.

Thanks to you i solved it by using the calender function (instead of Board Buttons or Rules). Thank you!

author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Ward Luitjes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3531577) you can do this by creating a recurring rule, but you need to have a paid Trello account to get access to those in Butler.

Ideas why new cards disappear seconds after creation and card moves aren't committing?
Asked by Kevin Gupton:

Starting yesterday afternoon, all new cards i create disappear about 3seconds after creation. Any ideas why? How to fix? I get the same results across several different systems and networks and across iOS mobile apps.

Additionally, when I move cards, the move does not commit. When I close/reopen the Trello site or app, the cards are in their original lists/locations.

seeing my to dos of cards and lists on one screen
Asked by Steve Miller:

I want to be able to open Trello and see what I have to do for today and the future without going to each team or board


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Steve Miller](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3530215) as [@Davin Studer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781467) mentioned you can use the Trello Cards view to see all cards you're assigned to across all boards. The pain of this view is that you can't move the cards, so you can't prioritise what you need to do across all boards from this view.

Some people then wind up using due dates as a prioritisation mechanism but as we have all experienced with this approach, you end up with a huge administrative overhead of moving due dates around.

I used to use Placker to resolve this issue, because it gives you a flexible Gantt chart view of all cards across all boards:

<https://placker.com/index>

Ultimately I built Benko Board:

<https://trello.com/integrations/#/benkoboard>

In addition to integrating Trello with Gmail it creates a linked copy of any card you're added to in any board, in your Inbox list, and does the same for comments you're mentioned in (it also "Unwatches" the cards you're added to so you only get notified about being added or removed from a card, or mentioned in a comment, making the notifications much less verbose and ultimately more usable).

In this way your Benko Board is your email inbox, your Trello notification drawer, and your cards view, in one spot where you can drag things around and prioritise them. I wrote about the system in more detail here:

I want the search to return cards with only those 2 members assigned. For example I want all cards which have just "Bob" and "Ted" assigned. I do not want to see cards assigned only to "Bob" or only to "Ted" or cards which are assigned to "Bob" and "Ted" and "Mary". In other words I want see the results of the search terms and'ed together and not or'ed. I could live with the search returning cards which are assigned to "Bob", "Ted", and "Mary". if that is the only possibility.


Answers:
author: carrie_eandm
body: [@sol.kgreen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3530414) This is possible.

When you pull up the search pane in Trello, select the members you want to have ("Bob" and "Ted"). Then check the option near the bottom that says "*Matches all labels and all members* ". This will narrow it down to the **and** search you're looking for.

I have outlined it on the screenshot below:
