Image Headers and Emojis for Confluence Data Center
Asked by Chris K:

Hello Community,

In Cloud, Confluence provides the option to "make your pages more memorable" by adding emojis and images to page headers (<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/make-your-page-and-its-title-more-memorable/>)

Does anyone know if this look-and-feel feature will also be released for DC? :)

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Chris

Emojis are on the roadmap ([https://www.atlassian.com/wac/roadmap/data-center/emoji-experience?product=confluence\&p=b98658e2-ac](https://www.atlassian.com/wac/roadmap/data-center/emoji-experience?product=confluence&p=b98658e2-ac) ) but I didn't see anything on header images in the roadmap.

How do I create a Rank in Confluence Table Transformer if the Rank function is not available to me.
Asked by Joanna Weir:

Just like in excel, I need RANK data to returns the order (or rank) of a numeric value compared to other values in the same list. In other words, it tells you which value is the highest, the second highest, etc.

But my Confluence Table Transformer does not allow the Rank() function. So I need help with an alternative query.

My data has Team and Score and I expect rank to look like this:

++Team++ ++Score++ ++Rank++

Team A 60 1

Team B 63 2

Team C 63 2 \<\< same because it has same score as above

Team D 65 3

You can try the following SQL query in Table Transformer:  

SELECT  
T1.\*,  
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT T2.'Score') + 1  
FROM T1 T2  
WHERE T2.'Score' \> T1.'Score') AS 'Rank'  
FROM T1

Convert to new editor: some images are treated as links
Asked by Jeromin Schwenk:

Hi all,  
when converting a site to the new editor, some images are treated as links. That means, upon hovering over them they show the buttons for links, but the image can't be edited anymore (resizing etc.). On the site I'm actually editing it affects not all of the images, but most of them, and I haven't found out why some of the do and other's don't. Any suggestions warmthly welcome!

I'm just wondering why this issue has so few votes as image editing is something very basic, and the first two steps are already a bug itself. Not displaying them on a included page seems to be a consequential error.

Is it possible to render markdown with embedded plantuml diagrams?
Asked by h.kollera:

We are testing the markdown macro by Modus Create to integrate markdown based process documentation from gitlab repositories into the project docs on confluence.

The markdown files are rendering fine, but embedded plantuml diagrams are rendered as code and not as diagrams as shown below.

Markdown:![confluence_markdown_code_2023-08-08 15-03-40.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/273924i6280F0983E4C08D1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence_markdown_code_2023-08-08 15-03-40.png")

Displayed content:

Same file is rendered perfect in gitlab.

If we extract the diagrams from the markdown file and use them with the /diagram macro only, the rendering in confluence is fine.

So the question is: Is there a possibility to render this kind of markdown in confluence cloud?

Is there an option to define an automated update on a custom page template?

After I apply a custom page template I built on one of the pages and then go back to template and change something, it does not update the template in the page.

How to remove groups from the the View Global Permission?
Asked by Reto Umberg:

Dear All

In our Confluence 7.19.8 many "group not found" are listed in the View Global Permission.

The groups have no permission setting and all of these groups with "Group not found" can not be removed from the list.

How can I remove these groups from the Global Permission View list?

Kind regards

comments: author: Reto Umberg
body: Dear Brant

Thanks for asking about the topic. In the meantime I was able to solve the problem easily.  
The problem was that the groups to be deleted were still actively connected to the AD. After removing the groups in AD, it was also possible to delete the groups in Global Permission.

Running tasks in upgrade menu showing 0
Asked by Shpio:

Dear Team,  
I am admin for Confluence Data Center. I upgraded to LTS bug fix patch from 7.19.7 to 7.19.11. It was a rolling upgrade. I only have 2 nodes in the cluster.  

After upgrade I noticed that some number of running tasks never changed from 0.  
It did not impact experience with Confluence in any way, But I could not find relevant information about it and I think is a bug which should be shared with Atlassian.  
As You can see in a screenshot one node with older version had running tasks.  
After upgrade both had 0 running tasks.  
After 24h there are 0 running tasks displayed.  

The information about number of jobs is useful for the next rolling upgrade, to upgrade one with lowest amount. But it can be replaced by simply upgrading less utilised node.  

I would like to learn more about these running tasks. Do they refer to scheduled jobs ? if so then I have dozens of scheduled jobs.![Screenshot 2023-08-08 at 12.41.26.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/273873iFD3A775A04B9A89D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2023-08-08 at 12.41.26.png")![Screenshot 2023-08-08 at 12.44.13.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/273872i2E5C808F878A058F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2023-08-08 at 12.44.13.png")

body: 'Tasks' could be coming from 'Scheduled Jobs' and also other tasks like backup or restore.

If I disable any plugin in Confluence, do we lose the data?
Asked by Sourav Mallick:

Suppose I have some plugins installed in Confluence. If I disable any plugin do we lose the data?


Answers:
author: Radek Dost?l
body: There is no data removal, the "beans" (it's not a totally accurate term but suffices) that the plugin provides simply get disabled. Any stored data that the plugin may use, such as any database tables, remains intact, so that you can re-enable the app in the future if you wish to resume it.

This goes hand in hand with safe mode and jvm args to temporarily disable plugins for various reasons, troubleshooting, performance, you name it.

So unless the plugin specifically was made to remove any data, it won't. In case the plugin provides macros, you will simply begin seeing "unknown macro" instead, and if you re-enable it, the macro will resume to work.

comments: author: Sourav Mallick
body: So if we migrate the data via the Cloud Migration Assistant into the cloud, and in the cloud the relevant plugin is not available, how will it behave? Will it still show as "Unknown Macro" in the cloud, and when the plugin is installed in the cloud will it behave normally again?


author: Radek Dost?l
body: That's a different topic entirely, and I have no idea how cloud works. This page should cover it though: <https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/assess-apps-with-the-confluence-cloud-migration-assistant>

So you can run the assessment and see if your app is supported.

I do suspect the plugin data will in fact get removed during the import, if the app is not on Cloud. I don't know, I've never done it, all I know is the cloud wizard does stuff and remaps data to make it fit into cloud, so it potentially might remove it if the app is not there.

If a plugin is disabled, will the data be migrated by CMA?
Asked by Sourav Mallick:

Suppose I disable a plugin in Confluence. Will the data be migrated to Cloud via "Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant"? If it gets migrated but does not have a equivalent plugin in Cloud how it will be rendered?


Answers:
author: Stefano Colagiacomo
body: hello when you have to migrate a plugin I would like to advice to you to check the same plugin and if exist for cloud, I would like to check always the part "mig pathway" in in the end of the page of plugin in Atlassian marketplace, there you will find a lot of useful infor about migration of plugin.  

Anyway like Kris told you correctly you have to select the plugin in the CMA if not select it the plugin will not migrated.


author: Kris Dewachter
body: Hi [@Sourav Mallick](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5287428) ,

In the CMA, you have to select which plugins you want to migrate.

If there is no equivalent plugin in Cloud, the data will not be migrated.

Variables in checkboxes within templates
Asked by Y_ Gerlach:

I want to create a template (no blueprint) in a teamspace with a collection-table of linked pages and checkboxes:

content \| visa trainee \| visa trainer \| comments

![screenshot_52.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/273837i5C9D63131216913D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "screenshot_52.png")

Trainees receive a page made out of the template in their personal space. They shall read and answer questions on the pages mentioned in the template-table (i.e. WebAV ?bungen) and then go back to the template created page and check the checkbox in the trainee column when they're done.

The moment they check the checkbox I want variables to fill automatically the date + time + user who checked the checkbox.

I have not found any solution to this yet. Is that even possible?

Shortcuts for table operation

Hi team, recently I work with the table heavily and have a few questions I wonder if there is a solution for them to improve my experience with the table operation on confluence page.

Best practices
Asked by Carol T Jenkins:

I have a board with more than 60 lists. Most of those lists have fewer than 100 cards, but one has about 600 cards. I've got a few hundred more lists that are archived and most of those lists also have fewer than 100 cards. I've also enabled 18 dashcards[,](https://damascusshop.com/ragnar-axe/) four power-ups, about two dozen automation rules (some of which trigger other rules), half a dozen custom fields, and a few "card buttons" and "board buttons."

Sometimes actions on my board are pretty quick. Sometimes my computer runs like a slow dog on a hot day. I'm using an up-to-date version of Mozilla Firefox on Windows 10 with 8GB of RAM and 21GB of page file space on an SSD hard drive.

I understand that computational complexity is a thing, so I'm not looking to complain. What I'm really hunting for is more information about what I can do to keep my boards humming.[.](https://damascusshop.com/ragnar-axe/). and to know where I might create problems for myself.

What are best practices, tips, and tricks on how best to structure a board to keep Trello running smoothly? As hypothetical examples:

* Prefer to use many cards on a small number of lists rather than small numbers of cards on many lists?
* Prefer to use automation that references cards on the same board rather than referencing cards on other separate boards?
* Prefer to schedule automation for task X, Y, or Z rather than using event triggers?

The one (and only) piece of advice I've seen in the Trello documentation is about using [cascade](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/finding-or-looking-up-cards-butler-advanced-topic/) functionality with restraint[.](https://damascusshop.com/bobcat-knife)

Can you offer any other insight into how to best take advantage of the magic that Trello performs behind the scenes? Tell me what happens locally in my browser, what requires server calls, where there might be unintuitively long processing times, and how I can best structure my board(s) to lean in to Trello's functionality?
