Jira Roadmap filters are not saved on Confluence pages
Asked by Blake Faulds:

Trying to use a label filtered roadmap in confluence works fine when you filter it your self but the filter is not saved when reloading that confluence page. However the "view settings" seem to be saved when changed for the page.

Is this expected functionality? Is there a way to force filters for a roadmap on a confluence page?


Answers:
author: Blake Faulds
body: I did solve my own question here with a little trial and error.

Steps for Success

1. Embed the desired jira roadmap
2. Open the link for said roadmap in jira
3. Apply the filters you want in the roadmap
4. Copy that URL
5. return to your confluence page and click "edit link"
6. Paste that URL to replace your old one.
7. save and reload the page!

Problem solved!  
Hope this helps anyone else but I do understand why this functionality may not be present by default but I think it should be introduced when editing a page.

Thiis saved me a lot of work!  

Filtering epic by label, enables me to narrow down focus areas in my roadmaps.  

Is it also possible to filter by components in the Jira Roadmap?

How to properly export a page containing filtered data from confiforms?
Asked by Stefan Vogt:

Dear all!

I want to export a Confluence page to PDF file showing data after filtering. The data is managed by Confiforms. Actually the macro 'ConfiForms Form Filter Control' doesn't seem to influence the generated PDF file.

++This is a simple example:++

![grafik.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/141301iF106ED02EF639431/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "grafik.png")

++That's the page content after filtering i want to export to PDF (show result of 'Jira' only!):++

![grafik.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/141302i4951859F0590BD31/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "grafik.png")

++But unfortunately i get a PDF file after export showing all the form data in field 2:++

![grafik.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/141304i5AA56CAC004D139E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "grafik.png")

Maybe someone has a clue to overcome this problem.

Much regards

Stefan


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: ConfiForms (when using ConfiForms Dynamic Filter macro) dynamically filters the contents of a page. Confluence export functionality knows nothing about it and uses page storage format to render and generate the output PDF

The best option here is to use printing functionality of your browser and use "print to pdf" to print/export exactly what you see on the screen

You may also check if you have the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app installed for your instance - the Table Filter macro [supports ConfiForms](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+the+app+with+the+ConfiForms+app), so you'll be able to filter your table using our macro and export only the filtered results into pdf, CSV and Word formats.

How to improve the label autocompletion ?
Asked by Florent R_:

Hi,

The label autocompletion works only with the beginning of the words. So, many users create redundant labels, with few differences.

Is it possible to improve the autocompletion to search across the entire word of every labels instead of only the beginning ?

Have a nice day !


Answers:
author: Florent R_
body: I found that the extension [Labels Restrict](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218507/labels-restrict?hosting=server&tab=overview) do the job.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Florent R_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3683565) There is nothing delivered that allows you to adjust how the autocomplete works. You could submit a feature request here <https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa> for Atlassian to improve the labels feature.

comments: author: Florent R_
body: Thanks [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) , do you think there is a chance that a feature request will be answered, especially for Confluence Server ? Some really annoying bugs are not taken care of (for example, the [losts attachments in Questions for Confluence](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-56250)) , so I don't hope much about a new feature (even [numbered headings](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-1732) are ignored).


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Florent R_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3683565) I am only a user like you. I would think that Confluence Server and Jira Server requests that would benefit the DC application would be answered since DC is the offering that they are focusing on. I know that they are also in the process of improving their feature request process to help elevate real problems and issues to the top. Is all I can say is submit it and see what happens.

Task Report Macro items not seen to everyone
Asked by ???_yljo:

I would like to generate a report with all Action items which can be seen by everyone.

I am currently actively using the feature 'Task Report' however my concern is that items are only visible by me (the person who created the report)

Even if there are opened items, 'Looking good, no incomplete tasks.' appears when others open my page.


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@???_yljo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4373810)

The Task Report macro lists all tasks from every page or space (depends on your settings)

Therefore, when a person opens your page with your task report, they can only see the tasks from pages, where they also have view permission.

So if you have 10 open tasks on 'page A' and only you can see 'page A', then nobody else can see these 10 tasks in the task report.

Regards, Dominic

Unable to access the confluence page.
Asked by Jagrati Kanojia:

It says 'You don't have permission to view the page'. The local admin has provided access provision multiple times, still it throws the same error/message.


Answers:
author: Sagar
body: Hi [@Jagrati Kanojia](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4373908) As mentioned by Nic, how admin has provided access the access.

To the space where the page belongs? or on the page it self by adding your user in the view/edit page restriction?

Also, are you able to see the other pages in that space if so then not an space permission issue.

Check the parent of that page which you don't have access to see if there is any page view restriction on that and ask admin to provide access on that parent page as view restrictions are inherited in Confluence.

Third possibility is rare but can be confirmed if that page is moved from any other space where parent of that page has restriction for your user.

comments: author: Jagrati Kanojia
body: I think its 'on the page it self by adding your user in the view/edit page restriction'

I will let the team know about this and request them to check on what you suggested.

Thank you [@Sagar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2206513) Appreciate it.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: How has "the admin provided access provision multiple times"?

Do your people have "use" access to the space? Are there any restrictions on the page (the space and system admins can see if there are, even if they are restricted and can't see the page themselves)

comments: author: Jagrati Kanojia
body: they gave me 'read and write' access and saved it (multiple times), when i reload the page, it still says "

### You don't have permission to view this page {#toc-hId-1232084502}

This is because it's inheriting restrictions from a parent page. A space admin or the person who shared this page may be able to give you access."


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, I see, you are mistaking "restriction" for "permission". (This is understandable, I do not think the wording on screen is clear about what restrictions do)

A restriction restricts a page. It does **not** grant permission to it.

At the base level, a page's permission comes from the space. If a person has "use space" permission, they can see all the pages in it.

Confluence, for the purposes of doing page security and structuring spaces, has a page tree though, so pages belong to other pages, to many many depths, you could have hundreds of layers.

So, restrictions for view work across that tree. If you restrict a page to be viewable only by group A, then all the pages that belong to that page also become restricted, right the way down through the tree.

In your case, you're trying to get access to a page that is beneath one that has been restricted away from you.

**So, you will need your admins to work their way back up the tree, adding you to the view restriction for all the pages above it which you cannot currently view.**

("adding you to the restriction" - I wrote that terrible phrase to show you why I do not think the language is clear)

Custom User Macro to Select Group and Display Member Profiles
Asked by Kmmaughs:

I'm trying to write a user macro that the user can input/select a group and the macro will render the profiles for each of the members of the group. This would allow members to float in and out of the groups without needing to manually update individual user profile macros. I've read and tried to mimic how this was done in several other community posts. This is what I've come up with so far, but it's returning an error while rendering:

```
## Users Pictures for Group - Confluence User Macro

#set($getInstanceMethod = $containerManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod('getInstance',null))
#set($containerManager = $getInstanceMethod.invoke(null, null))
#set($containerContext = $containerManager.containerContext)

#set($userAccessor = $containerManager.containerContext.getComponent('userAccessor'))
#set($groupManager = $containerManager.containerContext.getComponent("groupManager"))
#set($group = $groupManager.getGroup($paramGroup))
#set($users = $userAccessor.getMemberNamesAsList($group) )

#foreach( $username in $users )

#set($confluenceUser = $userAccessor.getUserByName($username))

Is it possible to archive a page through the Confluence Cloud API?
Asked by Connor:

Does anyone know whether it's possible to archive a page using the Confluence Cloud API? I've looked through [this documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/intro/) but haven't found anything. So I don't think it's possible, but I'd like to get confirmation of that before I give up completely. If it's relevant my company is on Standard licensing.


Answers:
author: David Bakkers
body: Hello [@Connor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1288335)

You can archive an entire Space via the REST API by changing its status to 'archived', as per [this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Archive-space-for-inactive-users-through-REST-API/qaq-p/1091607).

Try using the [Update content endpoint](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/#api-api-content-id-put) to set the status of the page to 'archived' to see what happens. I tested that endpoint and it works fine for changing a page's status to `current`, `trashed`, `historical` or `draft `as per the REST API documentation:
>
> ##### Query parameters {#toc-hId-1933151002}
>
> **status**
>
> string
>
> The updated status of the content. Use this parameter to change the status of a piece of content without passing the entire request body.
>
> Default: `current`
>
> Valid values: `current`, `trashed`, `historical`, `draft`

I'm on the Confluence free plan, which doesn't provide archiving, so I can't test any further`.`

comments: author: Connor
body: Thank you for the guidance [@David Bakkers](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1575730)

I tested out your suggestion but ultimately wasn't able to archive the page. It seems like the update content endpoint hasn't been updated yet to work with the archived status.

I was able to execute this request, using the archived status, and a 200 response was returned. But the status was not updated, the response body just contained the original current status.

```
curl --request PUT \
--url 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/{id}' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"version": {
"number": 19 
},
"title": "<string>", 
"type": "page", 
"status": "archived"
}'
```

Interestingly, using the get content properties endpoint against an archived page you can see that the status of the page is set to archived. So "archived" does appear to be the correct status value to use for a page just like Spaces, hopefully Atlassian eventually allows it to be used.


author: David Bakkers
body: Well [@Connor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1288335) , it was worth a try anyhow.

I just tried to set the status of a page to *archived* and I too got a 200 response back that everything was fine, but when I checked, the page status had stayed as *current*.

I've raised this as a feature request for Confluence Cloud ([CONFCLOUD-72078](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-72078)), so you can go and vote for it.

Manual Date entry resulting in Dec 31, 1969 entry
Asked by Gabe Belknap:

Hi folks, hope all are well.

Within my Confiform intake, I have a date field that if folks do not use the date picker and add a date manually in the wrong format, upon creating the JIRA the date defaults to Dec 31, 1969.

I have tried to add a rule to prevent this from happening, although unsuccessfully.

Any thoughts on how I can force the user to use the selector or ensure if they add the date manually they enter in the expected format?

Thanks in advance

Would like to restrict knowledgebase to certain Jira ServiceDesk customers
Asked by Kevin Fouche:

We currently use Jira ServiceDesk as our interface with our customers. We have a linked to a Confluence space in a way that allows anybody on the internet to log a ticket with their email address, self-create a user ID, and instantly gain access to the knowledgebase. We do not allow "anonymous" access to the knowledgebase, but since anybody can log a ticket and gain access theirselves, there are little restrictions.

We would like to restrict content on the confluence space to only "approved" customer accounts. However, we have many customers that should have access, so I don't want to be forced to set up a billable confluence user seat for each one of them.

Is there a way to restrict access to confluence spaces based on a Jira ServiceDesk "organization" or specific customer entries?
