youngmon/atlassian-qna huggingface dataset:
I am trying to implement a user name search on the main page that will only search team pages.
Asked by Rebecca Pavelka:

The team pages each have a label. When I list the labels using commas to separate the labels the search only looks at the first labeled page and returns a not found if the team member name entered in the search is not on that page but on a labeled page later in the list of labels. Each team has a roster page that has a label of aaart, bbart, ccart, etc.

Example: Search field contains John Doe. Labels list in macro includes aaart, bbart, ccart. If John Doe is on the aaart team page it lists the team page he is found on. If John Doe is on the bbart it returns a no results found message.

Why can't I search for a user's name?

body: Hi [@Rebecca Pavelka](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5422758)

Looks like you are using a label-based search macro in Confluence, and you are experiencing an issue where the search is only returning results from the first labeled page in the list. This is likely due to the way the search macro is analyzing the label list.

Try to modify the search macro to use a more advanced search query that can handle multiple labels. For example, you could use the OR operator to search for the user name on multiple labeled pages.

Here is an example of how you could modify the search macro:

{search: label=aaart OR label=bbart OR label=ccart AND username=Rebecca123}

This search query will return results from any page with the label aaart, bbart, or ccart that also contains the user name Rebecca123.

This response inputs might also carry some research outcomes from the open source / blogs / user guide

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!  
Thank you very much and have a great one!

Warm regards

comments: author: Rebecca Pavelka
body: Thank you for answering. I understand what you are saying but don't see anywhere to do an advanced search in the macro. The macro says to enter a comma separated list of labels to filter the search by. That is what I have done. It doesn't look like it searches past the first label in the list though. Using OR or AND in the list of labels doesn't change the way the search is working.


author: Humashankar VJ
body: Hi [@Rebecca Pavelka](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5422758)

Thanks for positng the outcome -

Let me try with different syntax to eliminate the commas to see if that makes a difference..

Does the information search using artificial intelligence have any api to use?
Asked by Facundo P:

I was reading the new feature that Confluence has that you can search using artificial intelligence but I do not know if you have an API to use it because we want to develop an internal bot for when we drop a support, do the search based on what the user is asking and return a link to Confluence with information about what is being consulted. We would need to know if there is an API for this and how to interact with it.

body: Welcome to the community [@Facundo P](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5458852)

Currently there are no APIs for the Atlassian Intelligence. It is not on the roadmap for now.

You can use Zendesk for example where you can insert the knowledge base and get the answers.

Copy Page Periodically
Asked by Michael Schmittdiel:

Hi there,

I am new to Confluence and therefore I have a maybe stupid question: I need to create a specific Page periodically. Basically it's a blank page with a table in it. This should be generated each monday so that I don't have to do this every time manually.

Is there a way?

You can do this using [Confluence Automation](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-is-confluence-automation/), but you need a Premium or Enterprise plan.

It says your product plan is Standard, is this correct?

Ste

comments: author: Michael Schmittdiel
body: yes - you are right, it's only the standard plan.


author: Jonathan Smith
body: Since you are on the standard plan, I would recommend creating a **space template** with your table in it, make a repeating event within your calendar, and then create a new page when you get the reminder. You would pick your template during the page creation.

... or pressure your admin to upgrade Confluence to the Premium or Enterprise plan :)

use blueprint variables in Usermacro
Asked by Gera:

Does anyone have some experience if and when yes how to use the blueprint variables in an user macro.

In my case, I have the blueprint decision here.

This blueprint has a variable called Status.  
Here is my macro code:

## [@Param](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1345631) Priority:title=Priority\|type=enum\|enumValues=nicht gestartet,in arbeit,Entschieden

#set($priorityvalues = {"nicht gestartet" : "Red", "in arbeit" : "Yellow", "Entschieden" : "Green"})  
#set($priorityoutline = {"nicht gestartet" : "false", "in arbeit" : "false", "Entschieden" : "false"})

#set($priorityColor = $priorityvalues.get($paramPriority))  
#set($prioritySubtle = $priorityoutline.get($paramPriority))

\<ac:structured-macro ac:name="status" ac:schema-version="1"\>  
\<ac:parameter ac:name="colour"\>$!priorityColor\</ac:parameter\>  
\<ac:parameter ac:name="title"\>$!paramPriority\</ac:parameter\>  
\<ac:parameter ac:name="subtle"\>$!prioritySubtle\</ac:parameter\>  
\</ac:structured-macro\>

I would like to use this macro in the blueprint decision.

The user macro should take the set blueprint variable status (lets say "in arbeit") and use it in the macro code instead of the macro variable paramPriority.

thanks

no just using the oob functionality.

I hope my explanation was clear:

Confluence has a Blueprint named decission. In this Blueprint i can find a variable called "$status".

When i am creating a new blueprint decision, i can add a status from a dropdown in a form. For example "in Progress". Can i use this blueprint variable $status "in progress" then in an usermacro!?

Crazy thoughts, but thanks because everything else works fine in this blueprint.

Is there a way to mark inner borders of table?
Asked by ??????? ??????:

I have table f.e. 5x4.

I want to create section inside such table and make its own color.

So the first two rows and 5 cells would form the section banded by green borders.

The other part would banded by red color.

Is that available?


Answers:
author: Kseniia Trushnikova
body: Hi [@??????? ??????](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5400929),

You can add styles in the [Source Editor](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-storage-format-790796544.html). For example, here's a table with a green row and a red row:

```
<table>
<colgroup> <col/> <col/> <col/> <col/> <col/> </colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="col">
<br/>
</th>
<th scope="col">
<br/>
</th>
<th scope="col">
<br/>
</th>
</tr>
<tr style="border: solid green;">
<td>
<br/>
</td>
<td>
<br/>
</td>
<td>
<br/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="border: solid red;">
<td>
<br/>
</td>
<td>
<br/>
</td>
<td>
<br/>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
```

**style="border: solid green;"** will add a border to a row, so the table will look like this:

![Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 15.04.31.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/314554i2ECA2965520754AD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 15.04.31.png")

If you want to add borders to cell, add **style="border: solid green;"** to the tag **\<td\>**, also.

Why does the Include Page macro shrink all my content?

How can we fix the issue in Confluence for extracted Pages to PDF is distorted.
Asked by Steve P:

The PDF I download after exporting a page appears to be in an incorrect format. It does not adhere to the formatting I've implemented on the page. Essentially, the format I've set up on the page is not reflected in the extracted PDF file, resulting in an unsatisfactory outcome.

How can we fix this?

The format I require can be seen in screenshot #1, what I got in PDF form is different, check screenshot #2

If exporting PDFs is an inherent part of your workflow and you need customization options, you may need to look around in the marketplace.

Although I don't need PDFs anymore, I always achieved much better results with [Scroll PDF Exporter by K15t](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) out of the box than with Confluence native PDF export.

I suggest that you give it a try (there's a free trial period, of course) and if it works for you, it may be worth the investment.

comments: author: Steve P
body: Do you mean if exporting PDF is indeed an inherent part of the plan in Confluence? Customizing the PDF is not part of my workflow as of now. My main purpose is just to export the copies of each page that I create so they are stored as a back up wether PDF or Word document.

If I dont get around much with the innate PDF exporter with Confluence then I may take a look into the [Scroll PDF Exporter by K15t](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud).

Confluence Automation -- How do I find ALL TASKS DUE within a set number of days
Asked by Mark B Wager:

Hello all

**In Confluence Automation** , I'm trying to **take action on any "TASKS" (aka Action Items) DUE within the next 21 days.** I'm using a "**Task Branch**" to trigger and send emails.

When I use "Due date is coming up in" with a set number, **it simply ignores all other upcoming tasks** EXCEPT the ones due in exactly 21 days. So, for example, a task due in two days would not appear.

**I want to trigger this ONCE a week** (users want an end-of-the-week reminder of what's coming due next week.) So, I don't want to run this daily. And, I want to keep sending emails for **tasks COMING DUE within the 21 days** (so they'd get 3 emails if still incomplete.)

**Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?**

It is strange, because using the same logic, **I set one up for "due date has passed" (PAST DUE) tasks.

It seems BOTH SHOULD WORK THE SAME -- triggering on issues that are either DUE WITHIN THE FUTURE TIME FRAME or PAST DUE AFTER A TIME FRAME -- both using the same logic.

This seems like a bug.

If the field is not available to select, I would assume it's not available. It's not something I've tried at this point though.

[This page](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-and-edit-databases/) does detail how to select custom fields though...
> Only standard Jira fields are shown. Custom fields can also be used by typing the text field name into the select field.

Isn't each row a Jira issue though? If yes, how would it know which comment to add?

An alternative might be to...

* Create a custom paragraph field in Jira - eg. Last Comment, Last Worklog Comment
* Populate it using [Automation for Jira](https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-cloud-automation/), when a comment is added or work is logged
  * You can use smart values such as...
    * Comment - {{triggerIssue.comment.last.body}}
    * Worklog Comment - {{worklog.comment}}
* See if this field can be used in the database
