It is possible!

I just tested this macro and attaching a file both via drag/drop and browsing for files shows them in the box immediately after upload.

Is this still causing an issue for you? Have you tried creating a new page, adding the macro and testing it, in case it's just an error with that one page?

You could also try removing and re-adding the macro on your current page :)

Permissions to edit, but not create
Asked by Chris P.:

Is there a way in Confluence Cloud to enable permissions to edit existing pages (i.e. pencil icon), but NOT the ability to create new pages in a Space.

The only way I see to enable page editing is via Space \> "Permissions" \> "Groups" "confluence-users" \> "Pages" \> "Add"

But then, as mentioned, users can then add pages anywhere in the Space that they like.

Not natively - you can vote for it on suggestions such as [CONFCLOUD-51547](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-51547)

I haven't seen anything in the marketplace for this personally - I think your best option would be to consider an approval-based app and see if it can manage page creation. That way, you could control who can approve a new page to be visible to all users, thus avoiding random pages appearing in your space.

Options you could explore for approvals could be [Scroll Documents for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217608/scroll-documents-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) or [Comala Document Control](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215729/comala-document-control?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) - or try to find something more specific to your use case on the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) :)

Can I create a graph in Confluence using a JIRA category?
Asked by Rafaela Ruiz Roncato Cavalcanti:

I am not able to create a view in Confluence through a filter created in JIRA.

author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Rafaela Ruiz Roncato Cavalcanti](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4034172)

You can see a full list of Jira gadgets in Confluence by:

1. Go to a Confluence page and press Edit
2. In the tools bar, select the "+" button and press "View More" at the bottom of the drop-down
3. From the left-hand menu, select "External Content"

This provides a full list of Jira gadgets (amongst other things) which you can utilise in Confluence. There is a sprint burndown gadget and the Jira road map gadget.

When it comes to roadmaps - you do have a few other options. To see these:

1. Remain in the macro section from Step 2-3
2. In the top-right, use the search box to search for "Road"
3. "Road" brings up all three options. There is the gadget (Jira Road Map), embedding a Next-Gen roadmap (Jira roadmap) and a manual roadmap you can create directly in Confluence (Roadmap Planner)

\^ If you're looking for anything more complex - like specifying your own chart data, you can try:

* **Chart Macro:** Another macro available from the menu the others are in
* **Apps:** Apps like [Table Filter and Charts](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) provide more functionality than standard Confluence

How to compare integer parameter in a confluence macro?
Asked by Mario Muetze:

I'd like to use an integer parameter that represents a percentage and thus cannot be higher than 100.

First I hoped type "percentage" would perfom some checking of that, but it doesn't.

Than I tried to check that maximum value by code, but apparently all comparisons like \<, \<=, \>, \>= will not work. I guess, that is because of "Confluence accepts this type, but treats it in the same way as 'string'."

Has anybody a suggestion, how to overcome this?

We use Confluence 6.12.

Thanks for any help!

It now works like that:

#if ($generalUtil.convertToInteger("$percent")>100)

How to move an unpublished page to a new space?
Asked by aorman:

I've created a page in space A which serves as a template for future documents to be made. But often the resulting documents need to be in space B or C. As a result we need to have a variety of users be able to copy \& move the resulting copies.  

When users create a copy that isn't published and then try to move the page, they get this dialog. While the space field there is a pull-down it does not show any spaces other than the current one, and does not let you type in any other spaces. The only way to allow users to be able to move their copied pages is to have them publish the copy in space A and then do a separate move operation after publishing, which means everyone needs the delete own permission in space A. We've replicated this issue across a variety of accounts with a variety of permissions.  

All the documentation online shows the ability to move while unpublished using the full move dialog. Is this a bug? Certainly the Set Page Location dialog was intended to have the space be selectable to more than one option?

Answers:
author: Sharon Helms
body: Hello,

Have you considered creating this template as a Global template rather than a Space template?

Your users then would be able to create a page with the template in space A, B, or C without the need to move the page.

You do need to be a Confluence administrator to [create a Global template.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-global-template/)

Once the Global template is created, each Space admin can decide whether to promote or disable the template in their particular space.

Page Properties Macro Shows Incorrect Labels
Asked by Kri Dontje:

We are using the Page Properties Report macro, which pulls in info from Page Properties macro info on other pages with certain labels.

Ours are labeled jirareport. However, the Page Properties Report macro is pulling in content from Page Properties macros that we don't want to show. To stop this, I relabeled those to jirasprintreport, but they still show on the report page. I used CQL to add a -jirasprintreport to try to force block it, and they still appear.

I'm wondering if this is a bug, or if I'm misunderstanding how the macros work? Or if there are hidden labels I'm not seeing?

author: Diego

As I understand, using the Page Properties Report macro does not work as expected when displaying contents based on labels.

I tried to replicate this outcome by doing the following:
> 1. *Created a page*
> 2. *Placed a Page Properties macro*
> 3. *Published the page*
> 4. *Added the label called "label" to the page

With these results at hand, I would like to ask a few questions:
> 1. *Has this worked at some point in the past?*
> 2. *Do you pages contain multiple labels?*
> 3. *Is this behavior present if you specify any other label in the Page Properties report macro?*

Let us hear from you!

comments: author: Kri Dontje
body: Figured it out! I was looking at the ID you can add to the Page Properties macro itself, rather than at the label attached to the Confluence page. Thank you for the screenshots, where I could see that, when I'd overlooked it hiding at the bottom of very long pages in our system.

When I add multiple images to the same confluence page, why do they all show up as the same image?
Asked by Eve Whittaker:

I am trying to create a document in confluence with multiple different images. However, when I insert more than one image into a page, all the images in that page display as the most recently added file.

Is there a reason for this and a way to avoid it?

I have tried adding images by all the available methods, adding them in bulk and one at a time, and have had no success.

Any advice appreciated!


Answers:
author: Owen Wallis
body: Hi Eve,

Confluence has a built in file versioning system. So I think what is happening here is that you are possibly adding files with the same name?

In this case Confluence will be showing the first image all the time.

The workaround for now is to use different file names (sorry). I'm the PM on the Media team so we're talking with Confluence on how we might fix this. But it likely won't be done for a while.

Any other questions feel free to reach out to me here: <https://calendly.com/owallis>

Capture inbound incoming emails into space/page
Asked by Curtis J_ Matthes:

There may (and is likely) a way to do this already which I'm just not aware of.

I'm seeking a way to facilitate team communications without chasing email replies. Yes you can create a space for people to post, share files and then others can comment but something simpler would be grand. Not quite the same, but MailChimp has a feature where you set up a list and it has a specific email address. Send email to that "secret" address and it gets blasted to your list. It's really slick.

Requirements:

1. send email to specific (secret to be shared only with team members) address and it is automatically pulled into a page where others can contribute ideas, respond etc.

2. Notifications to team members of "posts" or replies to posts (already does this)

3. Ability of embedded attachments to be carried forward into the post. (can include attachment to a post already, want to make sure inbound email would do same)

Optional:

1. Be able to label your email (maybe using {x} trigger in subject line) and label would be picked up and applied into post. Just a nice to have.

Your gracious help, guidance is truly appreciated, Yours in Service, Curtis
