Last Version of Trello app supports Android Kitkat
Asked by Mo Alnoor:

Last Version of Trello app supports Android Kitkat?


Answers:
author: Blair at Atlassian
body: Hey Mo! We've recently made some changes to our system where we are no longer supporting the Android version 4.4 (Kit Kat).   

Unfortunately, those changes no longer allow us to support the KitKat version of Trello. While it was an old unsupported version, we didn't mean to break it in such an unceremonious way and we apologize. We tried to figure out a way to restore it, but we couldn't do that without a decent amount of work and because it's so old we've decided to end support for that version. We're really sorry for the frustration this has caused!
Labelling to appear on trello baord, this to correspond on google calendar with the same label colou
Asked by Judith Goode:

Hi we are on Business package and looking to resolve a labelling issue

We would like to link the label colour for a board (each client) and have this same colour appear on our google calender on gmail - is this at all possible....

Many thanks


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Judith Goode](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3054156) the calendar power up gives you an iCal feed that you can subscribe to from a calendar application (including Google).

Google allows you to colour code events, but this can't be communicated through the iCal feed.

However, you could use the Trello API and the Google API to create a synch that would create or update an event in a Google Calendar any time a due date was added or edited in a given board, and then update the event colour in Calendar to the same colour as an added label.

It would take a bit of digging in the Calendar API to see the exact code for how to do it, but it's certainly doable, here are the Trellinator commands that would achieve it, with the Calendar API functionality abstracted out for brevity:

<https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/53f033a79cc8f921947b9e8358c4825f>

You can set Trellinator up yourself or hire a contractor on Upwork to do this for you:

Export Page Trees
Asked by mignon:

Hello, I'm new to Confluence. I've been tasked to download the different pages (trees) within our project that dates back for a couple of years. Is there a way to export/download the details of each tree (not the front page, the details) without doing it individually?

Thanks

Error when registering a dynamic module
Asked by Paul S:

This is Node.js - I get an error 401 - "The request is not from a Connect app." when doing a POST request as follows:  

```
const someMacro = {

Which is as per <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-dynamic-modules/#api-atlassian-connect-1-app-module-dynamic-post>

Is the Atlassian Companion app needed for Cloud, and if so, will the version used for server work?
Asked by Rob Horan:

Assume an organizatin is migrating from Server to the Cloud. Currently they are using the companion app to edit documents and upload them back automatically in Server.

Is this still necessary, and if so, can they continue using the app as it is, or will they need to update the app in some way?


Answers:
author: Alex K
body: Hi Rob,

There is no alternative to the Companion App in Confluence Cloud, but it is an optional feature. Users can replace files by dragging and dropping into the page editor, the attachments page or attachments macro.

The app itself is compatible with both Server/DC and Cloud, no need to upgrade other than to ensure you are on the latest version.

Regards,  
Alex K (Developer at Atlassian)

comments: author: Rob Horan
body: Thanks [@Alex K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1882108)

It was somewhat confusing because there is no Cloud documentation on the tool. All of the documentation is limited to Server and Data Center. When the Cloud button is clicked I am taken to the generic Confluence Cloud Resources page, as I would whenever looking at a page that is Server/DC specific. This led me to believe the Atlassian Companion App did not apply to the Cloud environment, though I had seen references to the app in Cloud.

It would be helpful if the documentation was corrected so that users could find this info on the Cloud side as well as Server/DC.

What does the Gantt Options do in chart axis-dropdown?
Asked by Brendan Schierloh:

I'm trying to build a Gantt chart from data received in the Jira Issue macro. I found that when inserting the Jira Issue macro there is an option stated "Other Jira Content" with a single option 'Jira Charts'. Clicking this brings up the standard JQL search to build a chart. Below the JQL search bar, there is a "Display Options" dropdown where the X-Axis and Y-Axis params get changed. One of the options for an axis is "Gantt Options". I can't find this documented anywhere and would like to know how it works.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Brendan Schierloh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4468549) ,

As for me, I can see only 3 types of Jira Charts into my Jira Issues macro:

* Pie chart
* Created vs Resolved chart

* Two Dimensional Chart

The macro fully looks like it's documented [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/jira-chart-macro-427623467.html).

What concerns Gantt chart based on the Jira Issues macro, we can suggest trying our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview).

[Here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Gantt+chart+type) is the information about our Gantt chart in general and [here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Building+a+Gantt+Chart) is a step-by-step guide how to create a Gantt chart based on the Jira Issues macro.

SSO 2.0 no OpenID Connect entry in Authentication method drop down list
Asked by Lutz Kirsten:

Hi Folks,

I would like to use the App "SSO for Atlassian Data Center" which is in my opinion as well suitable for Server Instance.  
Previously we used "Confluence Enterprise SSO with Keycloak" which worked like a charm.  
But in my understanding this App is consumed by the SSO for Atlassian Data Center. We decided to uninstall this App.

I give the App "SSO for Atlassian Data Center"a try. But in the Configuration dialog in the Authentication method drop down list there is no OpenID Connect entry as suggested by the documentation in <https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/openid-connect-for-atlassian-data-center-applications-987142159.html>

What is wrong in our instance and how can we fix it?

In the mobile app you should be able to do an @mention on a page when you are editing it or in the comments. If you have the ability to do it in the comments you will have the ability to add it on a page. I would confirm that you can do it in a browser to ensure it is working on your instance.

Bulk changes to Confluence pages
Asked by Emanuel Jianu:

Greetings all!

Does anyone know of a way to add information to many Confluence pages at once? We are looking for ways to add a macro to a series of pages or a label to a series of pages. Any add-ons that can do that?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Ivan Lima
body: Hi [@Emanuel Jianu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1236380), there are a few options you can achieve this, including apps. In the past, I have managed to add macros in bulk using Confluence API by updating the body.storage and manipulating the page storage format. Have a look at the APIs. For apps, I had used ScriptRunner, Confluence CLI and Power Scripts, among others. Any of that should do the trick for you. Which one you currently have?


author: Stavros_Rougas_EasyApps
body: [@Emanuel Jianu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1236380)I agree that there should be more tools to do things across multiple pages, this is what we need as a business, if it's page by page we could just use Google docs but we want the collaboration power of a wiki.

This is why we are built [Space Content Manager](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226657/easy-toolbox-for-confluence-space-level-content-editing?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). Right now it has bulk find and replace, labels and a few other things. More coming. I don't want to buy or manage lots and lots of apps, many do only a small thing I care about. A suite of tools is better.


author: Mike Rink
body: [@Emanuel Jianu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1236380) our app, [Comala Lists](https://bit.ly/3sKhMKf), allows you to bulk-add labels to a number of pages at once.

Translation of tickets Jira <-> Confluence
Asked by Ye Fung Tchen:

Hey community,

for a project we want to create tickets in Confluence in german language which automatically creates a ticket in Jira with the same properties in english. Also it should change the properties itself if a user edit it on Jira or Confluence.

I know that it is possible to use the "Insert Jira"-Makro in Confluence for that but the problem is we are using mandatory fields in our tickets which are not displayed there.. is it possible to customize this?

Would love to hear some suggestions or your best practies to that.

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi [@Ye Fung Tchen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4125005)

Unfortunately this is not possible, which defeats the whole purpose of creating tickets directly. There is an open requests here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-32906>

The only solution would be to remove the mandatory fields from your jira project.

How to change history(createdDate, createdby) in page with PUT REST API

No, you can't use the REST API to change a page's createdBy, it is an immutable value that you can only read from the page history. Refer to [this article](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-there-a-way-to-change-the-creator-of-a-page-on-Confluence/qaq-p/715774) where it's been discussed before, and there is also a link to [this feature request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-7247) to be able to change the page creator.

If you want more information about what aspects of Confluence content you can or can't change, the best place to start is the [REST API documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/#api-api-content-id-put) which describes updating content.

How always ahave a template with variables ?
Asked by Romane Genty:

Hi ! I created a template for my team in order to report monthly information. Firstly I simply create a template but I saw that it is possible to create a template with variables in order to make the writing easier (no one can modify the structure of the template but only put information in the dedicated blocks). I tried this format of template but I only can use it once and then if I want to modify the page it will be like an other ramdom template without the writing blocks.

My question is : Is it possible to always have the variables when modifying a template with them or this is only on the first time ?

I don't know if my question is clear, so tell me and I would rephrase it.

Thank you for your help


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hello Romane,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It seems you want to have some text on the page created with the template that does not disappears after the information is inserted, and you used the [**\<variables\>**](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-template/#Variables) there, is that right?  

I did some tests around here, but if you're creating a new page based on a custom template, if nothing is inserted as information on the variables boxes (be it text, multi-line text or list), it should disappear upon publishing the page.  
Or if the information is inserted there, it should display the text inserted/chosen instead of the variable block.  

If you're looking for having some text to serve as a guide for who is editing the page, you can use the **[placeholder text](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-template/#Placeholder-text)** instead.  
This text can also be replaced for users when editing the page, but as long it is not edited, it will remain there as a guide or suggestion to what kind of information should be filled there, in the edit mode.  

I hope this information helps, but let me know if you need any additional information on how it works. :)  

Cheers,  
Jessica

What exactly is a Confluence user?
Asked by Garry Knott:

Before even trialling Confluence I want to know exactly how we will be billed. Currently using Jira helpdesk we appear to be billed per user, (which is in fact per agent).  
Confluence has the same wording for costs, (per user), but is this being billed for site "admins" or everyone who can access the site.  

The main reason for confusion here is that I don't know if the current users need to be logged in to view confluence pages, (in which case it seems we will be billed per user), or not, (in which case I assume it's admins/agents), we are billed for and count as users.

Can somebody clarify this and remove the confusion?

Many Thanks


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It is more simple in Confluence, because there is only one application (Jira has three, licenced separately and jointly - a licence for Software or Service Management effectively includes a Core licence too)

A person consumes a licence if they can log into Confluence. Admin, confluence user, any other group that has the global "can log in" permission - they all count towards the licence count.

Note 1: Users you've flagged as dis-usered do not count (they can't log in if they're dis-usered), and the count is de-duplicated - someone in the admin group and the login group has two permissions to log in, but still only takes up one "seat"

Note 2: Customers of a service desk (in Jira) do not need a Confluence login to read Confluence pages in a knowledge-base space associated with a service desk, their Jira accounts let them in

Copying source code from Word doc into Confluence Code Block macro
Asked by Stephen Kairys:

Hi,

If I have a block of Source Code in a Word doc, can I safely copy it into a Code Block Macro? From what I understand, code block macro is text-only.

TOC links don't work in PREVEIW mode?
Asked by Stephen Kairys:

HI,

When I'm in EDIT mode and click PREVIEW, the TOC displays. However, when I click on one of the items (e.g., **1.2.3 Vendor Info**) I am not taken to that section of the document.

TOC appears to work OK if I'm viewing the latest published version. Is this behavior a known bug?

This issue is annoying b/c we're reorganizing part of a doc, and it would be great to test the TOC links before publication to the outside world.

Insert Macro sort

1. Confluence page
2. Edit
3. In the menu, select Insert
