Copy Paste markup table into Confluence does not work
Asked by Avinash Honkan:

This is **severely** frustrating and is costing me my productivity.

I have automation that generates reports consisting of many table entries in markup that as of few weeks ago I was able to do the ctrl-shift-d and paste the tables and have a nice professional report. Now it does not work.

After some reading, I found out that Confluence no longer supports the markup feature via the menu and instead now does this "automated" detection of content. So I copy/paste my table into the editor and lo... nothing happens. That is until I hit enter on the last line and then all of a sudden I get a single entry table.

I then tried doing this for every line (unsustainable but as a test) and I got individual tables for every entry but I could not join them to make 1 successive table.

Is there a way I can copy paste this following table into the editor and have it come out as was expected in the past?

\|\|test1\|\|test2\|\|  
\|1\|2\|  
\|1\|2\|

First Image: I do my copy/paste![copypaste.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/66215i9FC9F613E3D2BBC9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "copypaste.PNG")

Third image: I hit enter on every line.

There is no way to join the tables.![multipleenter.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/66217i387BCE670268E88A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "multipleenter.PNG")

body: Hello there, [@Avinash Honkan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1282874) !

I can replicate this behavior in my Cloud instance using the old editing experience.

Looking through our reports, I could find one that points specifically to this. Here you have a look at it:
> * ++***[CONFCLOUD-43596](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-43596)***++

The only workaround currently available is *++manually inserting the markup.++*

Since you specified "Is there a way I can copy paste this following table into the editor and have it come out as was expected in the past?" I believe that this was a working feature at some point for you. With this in mind, I would like to ask you a few questions about this issue:
> 1. *Were you using Confluence cloud or self-hosted when this feature was available?*
> 2. *When did you first notice this issue?*

Looking forward to your reply, Avinash!

Gliffy - any way to draw polygons freehand?
Asked by Patrick O_Connell:

Hello all,

(Kind-of side note: I'm surprised there are not more questions and discussions here, about it. Is there a different forum for Gliffy users, maybe not one that Atlassian runs?)

I suspect I already know the answer to this, and that the idea I had is not quite workable in Gliffy.

Large diagram, with a **lot** of boxes, and also a lot of arrows. Some of these boxes can be categorized together, in "slices." The boxes that make up these slices are **not** always all adjoining.

I'd like to do this so that these highlights are visually contiguous, with straight-edged but polygonal shapes - an "L" shape would be an example of this.

My thought was to use the layers in Gliffy to have partly transparent shapes behind arrows-and-boxes, to highlight the different slices. Viewers would have to edit the diagram non-destructively to turn the layers off and on, but they could be given instructions to that effect.

I think this is just not there, in Gliffy. Nor does it seem possible to edit an existing polygon from a shape bank.

I'd be happy to hear that I'm wrong about this.

Thanks, \& sorry for novella-sized post,

Is there display limit for Page properties report macro?
Asked by Sowndarya:

We have a page with page properties report macro that filters based on label and it should give 1300 results.

But it is giving only 1000 results.

Is there a limit for display items in page properties repot macro?


Answers:
author: Rilwan Ahmed
body: For Page Properties Report Macro, you have below limitations

1. You can enter a maximum of 60 labels in the macro browser.
2. The macro can display a maximum of 3000 pages. System administrators can increase or decrease this limit using the **pagePropertiesReportContentRetrieverMaxResult** in [system property](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/recognized-system-properties-190430.html)

author: Maarten van Bree
body: I've the same problem, but my page report stops with 500 results. Maybe it's a setting somewhere?


author: James Dellow
body: I'm not sure how you deal with this using the Page Properties Report macro. I've previously build a customisation to deal with this issue - it generated a report by polling the API in batches. The results were then displayed in a single table, which include additional dynamic filters so you didn't need to page through the results.


author: Sowndarya
body: I set "Number of items to display" to 2000 pages. But it displays only 1000 and there is no pagination.

When I mention "Number of items to display" to 100 pages, there are pagination . But only 10 pages came. For 1300 results, I expect 13 pages.

comments: author: Sowndarya
body: Also, when I remove label from one of the pages(Say, ABCD) from 1000 results , then the page property report macro result removed this page(Say, ABCD) and shows another new page.


author: Ilya Turov
body: well, it seems like it artificially limits it to 1000 results

guess, as a workaround, you can split your labels into 2 groups and have two macros (one for each group) to display less then 1000 in each


author: Ilya Turov
body: I guess, it's because macro gets the results from jira via REST, and REST returns maximum 1000 issues.

comments: author: Sowndarya
body: This macro is in Confluence.  
Does Confluence REST also returns maximum 1000 page results?


author: Ilya Turov

The first option you see there is a text box with text *What did you change?* You can add your comments or information about what changes you made to the page. This helps other contributors see what exactly has changed when they take a look at *Page history*.

Non standard emoticons not working
Asked by Hector Ghizzoni:

Hello,

In a Conlfuence instance I try to use special emticons that are working in another instance but I get the message error

Unable to communicate with server. Saving is not possible at the moment. {#toc-hId--1409787150}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trying this for example

? {#toc-hId-1077725683}
------------------------

Thanks a lot


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This is usually caused by having a database that does not accept the higher range of emoticons. With Atlassian tools, we see this a lot with MySQL based installations, as the default collation does not support the upper emoticons.

What database are you using and what are the collation settings for it?

comments: author: Hector Ghizzoni
body: Thanks a lot for the answer, I don?t know exactly what they are using as I am not managing the database just I am doing the migrations but yes I know that our test Confluence instance uses postgresql and works without problems so the source possibly is using the same and the target mysql for sure.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The "system information" page will tell you what driver Confluence has loaded to enable it to talk to the database. At present, most of the drivers I've seen people use have names that make it pretty clear what they are for - the main ones contain postgres, mssql, or mysql in them. Oracle tends to be something like ojdbc, and you might see jtds being used for MS-SQL as well.

The first request - tracking changes through comments - hasn't got a specific method. You can certainly make comments when you publish - down near the "Publish" button is a comment box to enter change details, which get published on the Page History.

If we do need to store announcements / important edits to a page for users to view - we often use an Info Box at the top (one of the macros).
