Modify a table created with "Table from CSV" macro
Asked by Eyal Zmora:

Hi,

I am using a "Table from CSV" macro in order to display a table, which reads its data from a remote CSV file.

I would like to allow the user to add an extra column and set the values of specific cells of this column, manually, via the Confluence UI.

Is there a way to do it?

body: Hi [@Eyal Zmora](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2480702) ,

You may add a column with unique IDs (keys) to the source CSV file, then create a regular manual table in Confluence with the same column (equal header and IDs), wrap the Table from CSV macro and the manually created table in the Table Transformer macro and use the Look up preset.

When the page is published, you will see the whole one table. In the edit mode your colleague will be able to add data into the manually created table.

[Here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-I-dynamically-populate-the-fields-of-a-table-based-on-values/qaq-p/1505810) is a similar question.

comments: author: Eyal Zmora
body: Amazing [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) . This is exactly what I needed.

The only caveat is that if CSV changes and more IDs are added, I need to manually update the regular table accordingly with the new IDs.

Thanks for your great support

As this thread concerns our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community) app, we are happy to announce its new macro -- [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Spreadsheet+macro?utm_source=atl_community).

This new macro allows you to work with fully functional Excel spreadsheets right in Confluence. You'll be able to use filters, cells' formulas, conditional formatting, etc., create pivot (aggregated) tables and charts from the page view\&edit mode.

The Table Spreadsheet macro works for Cloud and Server/Data Center.

Content Report Table - multiple l
Asked by Tara Costa:

Parameters - Label(s)

I would like to be able to specify one or more labels where for example;

* if you specify labels 'A' + 'B', the macro will display all pages that have the label 'A', AND label 'B', not all the pages that have one or the other of those labels.
* So, one table could have label: 'resource-open' which would list any and all pages with this label
* And another table could have the labels: 'resource-open' + 'won' which would ONLY list any pages that had both these labels


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Tara Costa](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4736711) ,

Try the [Content by Label](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-by-label-macro-145566.html) macro: here you can use OR and AND operators in the Label field.

comments: author: Tara Costa
body: Thanks [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) This does work but the way the list is displayed is quite ugly. It would be great it they added the filter function to the Content Report Table macro.

ConfiForms: Send E-Mail to all users in (multiple) forms
Asked by Marvin Kern:

Hey,

two questions about ConfiForms:

1. Is it possible to send a mail to all users in a form? Best case would me that you could click a button and your mail program opens with all E-Mails of the users in the recipients field?

So a mailto-link would be great, something like "mailto:entries.user.email"

2. Same scenario, but is it also possible to send the mail to all users from different forms? So lets say I have form a and form b with users and send the mail to the users of both forms?

Thanks in advance!

yes, there is a field with users, here are some screenshots to clarify (is this helpful?):

author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: ConfiForms could send an email when something happens to the record - is created, changed or deleted

And that is set up via ConfiForms IFTTT <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-SendEmail>

Which means you can have an IFTTT that reacts on a record modification (could be a hidden field) and have something like a HTML button that invokes an update to records via REST API (<https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/ConfiForms+Server+REST+API+version+1#ConfiFormsServerRESTAPIversion1-UpdateConfiFormsFieldvaluebyfilter>)

These updates will invoke in turn the configured IFTTTs (which will send the emails or whatever else you want to do)

Alex


author: Marvin Kern
body: Hi Alex,

I understand so far, thanks for the idea! But I don't want ConfiForms to send an E-Mail itself, I just want to have all E-Mails from all Users in that form if I click on a button.

I've played around with the Rest API, but I somehow can't get the filters configured properly. Is it possible through Rest API to just get all the emails of the users in the form?

I'm stuck on here: /rest/confiforms/1.0/search/942521378/mpmdata?fields=user

Any ideas?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Just use

```

To get form's data and read the "user" field. No need for any other additional parameters

New Page Error - Unable to Create New Page With Same Name
Asked by Valeria Faraone:

In the Confluence space I am managing, I want to create several pages with the same sub-page structure. However, when I try to create a sub-page with an existing name in the space, I get the following error:

"A page with the title "xxxxx" already exists within this space. Enter a different title for your page"

Is there a way to undo this setting on Confluence and be able to give the same name to several pages?

The number of pages with the same structure that I have to create is big and I cannot keep changing names every single time.

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This is not a setting you can change, this is the way wikis are supposed to work! Confluence is slightly-less wiki than most because it does allow duplicate names across spaces (so you can do "Space 1, page Bob", "Space 2, page Bob"

You will need to come up with a naming scheme that generates unique page names within a space. Dates on meeting notes, putting your duplicated structures into different spaces, even just numbering them.

comments: author: Valeria Faraone
body: Ok I see. Thank you [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) for your answer!

I will think of a new naming structure then.

We cannot create a Page with the same name in a Space

You could follow the naming convention of some sort in order to create the sub-task pages under a parent page!!

Welcome to the community!!

We usually face this issue while capturing the minutes of meetings, or documenting similar details across teams and have not found a way to undo this setting. The alternative we have been using is to add the date or team name acronym, to the page title and that ensures the page is created without any issue.

Hopefully, you can also come up with minimal additional text which would enable you to make the page title unique while keeping the sanctity of your page structure intact.

Kindly accept the answer if this helps.

comments: author: Valeria Faraone
body: Thank you [@Gaurav](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1248589) !

I will think about a naming pattern that could work longtime fon any new page created.

There is no "find" function for a page, correct?
Asked by Barbara Morach:

EDITED TO ADD:

I missed an important point. I meant for viewers, not the author. I don't actually want to replace anything as the author. I just want readers to be able search a fairly large table for key words.

But still helpful answers. It's confirming that the function I want is just not available.

Much appreciated!

______________________

I just want to confirm that I'm not missing a "find" function for a page in Confluence.

"Find" as in the MS function Find/Replace. I want to find a word or phrase on a page, I don't want to find a page that has the word in it *somewhere*.

I've feel I've done the research and the answer is no, but I am still quite new at using Confluence for product documentation, and I am not confident I am correct.

Also, I really want a find function, so I'm hoping I am wrong.

How to show Jira issue/filter last X number of comments
Asked by Jimmy:

Hi all

I am new to using Confluence. In one of my confluence page, I have inserted a Macro \> Jira issue/filter to pull all information from 5 epics. I manage to do that by using the "key = EPIC number" and choose key, summary, type, created, updated, due date, assignee, reporter, proority, status, resolution. its works.

Now, I am thinking if I can allow x number of last comments per User story


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Jimmy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4452645)

Not natively; the Jira Issue/Filter macro is showing fields which are available as column data - there isn't a *comment*field as such.

We've gotten around this before using a custom field and automation - for example, we created a field called *Last Comment*:

* Create a custom paragraph field, called *Last Comment* - it doesn't need to be on a screen
* Create an Automation Rule to run whenever a comment is added, adding the last comment made into the custom field
* Visualise this in Confluence, as a field selected in the macro

You could do something similar in your scenario.

I'd consider whether the last 5 comments is necessary though - if they're looking at that many, wouldn't it be easier to just click-through and look at the Issue itself?

Ste

author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Jim Sheedy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5065174)

It's possible - an alternative to the above smart value for last comment is...

```
{{issue.comments.getFromEnd(0).body}}
```

...but, you can change the "(0)" to get other comments also. So for example...

* (1) - second to last comment
* (2) - third from last comment
* ...etc

It's dynamic so will update as you add more comments.

You'll still need to visualise the data though - so either a field per comment, or one multi-text field for all 3-5 comments.

Whether an image of the directories and files that can be retrieved
Asked by Jin Yan:

Hi,

I would like to know if the list of directories within a confluence space has a change history? There were some accidental changes made by moving around some files to new directories and I would like to recover, for example, how the directories look like two weeks ago?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Jin Yan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4156201) unfortunately the page history and page information only tells you about changes to the page content, not the structure. If Page 1 was under Page A, but then someone dragged that page to be under Page B, you would have no way of knowing where it originated.

That sounds like the dilemma you are facing here. Please confirm if I am correct.

Are there any creative ways to work with draft versions in bulk prior to publishing?

I wanted to know if there is a way to work with draft versions so they can be reviewed prior to publishing without using an addin.


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi [@Stephanie Hurt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4407254)

Not much you can do out of the box. One you click on save it will publish.

In our organization we use "Comala Workflow" as a publishing content management tool. Each page can have it's own workflow where you specify whether it's a draft/review/publish. Give it a try: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-document-management?tab=overview\&hosting=cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-document-management?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

Feel free to browse through the Marketplace for other options too.

comments: author: Stephanie Hurt
body: Thanks Fabian


author: Anshuman Dash _K15t_
body: Hi Stephanie,

While there is no straightforward way of doing what you are looking for, I can think of the following workaround -

* Create a "Draft"-ing space dedicated to authoring and reviewing your content.
* You can choose to restrict the space to authors, reviewers, and approvers only.
* Once approved, you can copy/move the content to its rightful place for your readers.

The other alternative, as Fabian has pointed out in his response, is to use a marketplace app like Comala Document Management, or [Scroll Documents for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217608/scroll-documents-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) which my team at K15t has developed.

Scroll Documents enables you to manage multiple parallel versions of your documents in Confluence and comes with tools to control who can view each version via restrictions. It also ships with a couple of other features that make sure that your readers are reading the latest approved version of your documents.

I hope that helps.

Cheers!

Dash

One workaround that you can try is to update the the user's profile in Confluence. Go to the user's profile in confluence and update the "about me" section with "hello".

This triggers the account to sync. user group and license information.

If you still have issues, you may want to contact [Atlassian Support.](https://support.atlassian.com/)
