compiling with maven asks for dependency private-pom:pom
Asked by Jakobus Sch?rz:

I'm writing an own authenticator. And since Confluence (Datacenter) 8.5.3 i'm getting a dependency-error in maven

```
Could not find artifact com.atlassian.pom:private-pom:pom:6.3.1 in internal-repository (https://nexus.<our.domain>/nexus/content/groups/public/)

```

Our nexus is only a mirrored proxy for <https://packages.atlassian.com> and i can not find private-pom there in no repo at all...  

Compiling my authenticator against version 8.5.2 it works without problems.

And compiling against 8.6.1 works again. But we use LTS, so 8.6.1 is no option to ugrade.

What can i do?  
What does this mean?

Pull down menu in Confluence

Is there a way to create a subtask in Jira from a Confluence whiteboard?
Asked by Yochai Maytal:

Currently, the "Create a Jira issue" option in Whiteboards allows to create an issue down to the level of a story.   
To our team, it will be extremely useful to have an option to create subtasks within a given, existing, story.   
Is there a way to do so already, or a plan to implement such a feature?


Answers:

body: Hello [@Yochai Maytal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5366207)

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

I don't see that in their public backlog.

You could contact Atlassian Support directly to raise that suggestion and find out if it is in a private backlog.

<https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/>

Or you could provide that suggestion through the Give Feedback option in Confluence.

Organisation API Token
Asked by Dave Poole:

We have a docker container that we include in all our CI/CD workflows that publishes generates and publishes documentation to Confluence.

At present this works by having two GitHub organisation secrets containing

* Confluence user name
* PAT token for that user

The problem I am trying to solve is that we don't want the user to be locked to an individual with their expiring PAT token. In effect we want a service account to use with our CI/CD process.

Is there an official way of doing this?

Is it simply a case of creating a CICD user just as for any other account with an associated PAT token?


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: There is no "official" way to do this except to build a Confluence cloud addon with an api which is exposed to your container. This is a lot of work and maintenance.

The pragmatic way is to use a service account user, give this account minimal rights, and create an API token for this account. This allows you to access the Confluence cloud API with BasicAuth.

First, to explain the redirection to the community when trying to open a support ticket, this is because if you are on a free plan, you do not get Atlassian support. Instead, the community will be your source of assistance. That aside, I can't really say what might be going on with your template. If it does not resolve itself, and suggested then you likely will have to rebuild your template, unfortunately. However, if you have an existing page built from the template, you should be able to use it to get you started again.

It feels like something has gotten corrupted, as now my page properties is stuck only showing the the "broken" page, that was created with the corrupted version.

I've recreated everything but the page properties report doesn't pick up on that, and only shows links to the old ones which have since been deleted.

Looking on the forum, the solution seems to be to re-index the site, but I can't do that as I'm on the free plan too?

Right now, I do see potential in the product, but right now, it seems like that Confluence actively don't want me to recommend my company to subscribe.

Filter in Confluence creates me a double line

How do I disable displaying one language in space?
Asked by Dagmar Pol?kov?:

HI,

We have space available in 3 languages and would like to hide one of them. How it is possible?

Thanks, Dagmar


Answers:
author: Rodrigo
body: Good day [@Dagmar Pol?kov?](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5366053), and welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Do you mean that the content within these Confluence Spaces is translated? Or is that the UI translated instead?

Here, Confluence does not have a natively integrated translation tool. It could be that your team is using an app from the Marketplace, and you need to review its documentation for a fast and easy solution.

You can find this by going to the "Manage Apps" section of your Confluence or editing an affected page and verifying if there is a translation macro present.

Hope this helps!

Scroll Word export do not indent tables
Asked by Michael Kaufmann:

When using the Scroll Word exporter plugin the exported tables are not indented like any text surrounding them.

How I can solve this problem?  
In the Word template I can't manage that I think.

In my case the headings are indented about 2cm (not the chapter numbers, they are on the left).  
Any text follows the 2cm indentation. But not the tables.


Answers:

We can then double check the scenario and if the indentations can be preserved. Regards, Thomas (K15t)

body: I've sent an Email.

Thank you.


author: Thomas Rough _K15t_
body: Hey Michael,   
As mentioned in the support ticket you opened, here are the steps for indenting your exported tables from Confluence. It remains possible to add indentation for your table(s) if you define the left margin for your table style. For instance, in your configured Word file template you can define the Scroll Table Normal table style (which by default is applied to all tables in the export) to have a left margin/indent defined:

![Screenshot 2023-11-28 at 09.22.30.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/294102i1D910608A7E393E6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2023-11-28 at 09.22.30.png")  

Then, after uploading the Word file template to Confluence, you can export and would just need to ensure the table fitting option is set to Fixed width for the export properties associated with the template:

![Screenshot 2023-11-28 at 09.23.42.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/294103iA4284ADBD3305EDD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2023-11-28 at 09.23.42.png")  

Following these steps will then result in the desired indentation associated with the table style being applied in the export.  
Regards, Thomas (K15t)

Are there any polls / votes / surveys that have templates? or can work with templates?
Asked by JK:

Hi

New to confluence, but hoping to get some help.

I've built a template, which includes a poll / question

So the idea being, for every time I use the template, I want to generate a new instance of that poll.

So far i've found a few polls on the marketplace, but the issue is when i remake the template, it shows the same poll as the last one.

This is understandable, and it seems like the solution would be to "initialise" a new poll on every use of the template, which is fair.

However, all of the poll apps on the marketplace seem to treat it like a blank slate. so I would have to re-build the poll from scratch each time. Which is very time consuming

Are there any out there that have a template that I can store and "re-use", to create a new instance of the poll.?

Or can anyone think of any other solutions?

Cheers

Are live templates suitable?
Asked by Gerlinde Eymann:

Our spaces have pages with high flexibly in size, they have different headings and they differ in the use of tables and makros/ add-ons

There is a common template which sums up all potential headings and user deletes the headings if they are not applicable for a new page.

Our WIKI content is based on text like articles, we do not not use any high advanced design elements yet and there is no need to structure our text information. We just write down what we know for this topic.

For my understanding live templates make sense if pages have a common structure and size.

Dependent Dropdowns in CSV Imports
Asked by Joshua Smith:

Hi all,

I'm in a team-managed Jira Software project and need to import hundreds of issues via CSV. Some of the fields required for import are dependent dropdowns, but they are not importing properly.

The closest I've gotten is that it will import the parent dropdown choice only. So for example, if I was filling the issue out manually and the field is, "What's the weather like today?" The initial dropdown might have options "it's nice out" and "it isn't nice out". Then if I select "it's not nice out", a second dropdown would appear with options "it's too hot", "it's too humid", or "the air quality is bad"

I tried exporting and following the same format as the export, which is "it's not nice out -\> it's too hot". It didn't import at all without the "-\>" but when I formatted it like the above export format, it does upload - but without the secondary choice, so if I view the issue it has "it isn't nice out" but the secondary dropdown is blank.

I haven't been able to find anything about this at all - has anyone worked with dependent dropdowns in CSV imports before? Thank you!
