List all pages owned by deactivated users
Asked by Christian Laurent:

* Pages are owned by a user
* User leaves company
* Pages owned by that user (and any others that leave) go out of date

How do I list all pages owned by deactivated users, so that I can reassign ownership (or archive)?


Answers:
author: ARF2 ARF2
body: Hi,

My company (LBAppStudio) has created a solution for Confluence Cloud to list all pages owned by deactivated users. Please find it here: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1234489/reports-plus-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1234489/reports-plus-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). We are happy to consider any enhancement requests!


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Christian Laurent](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5492942) I thought that the feature described in this article would solve your problem (<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-Cloud-Admins-articles/New-bulk-action-Change-your-page-owners-in-bulk/ba-p/2657959>), but I see the feature is only available for Premium and Enterprise plans.

According to this blog from 2020 (<https://www.atlassian.com/blog/confluence/introducing-page-and-bulk-archiving-in-confluence-cloud>), bulk archiving is also a Premium feature (though this may have changed since then; you may want to search for more recent content).

If this is something you really need to do right now and will try to keep on top of reassigning/archiving pages when users leave in the future, you might do a free trial of Premium, make the changes, and then go back to your Standard plan at the end of the trial period.

It looks like this topic was addressed in [this question](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-can-I-replace-words-for-the-whole-space-at-once/qaq-p/2649112). It looks like your options are the use a third party plugin, two of which are outlined on that post!  

Thanks,

author: Stavros_Rougas_EasyApps
body: [@corinne goodman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5344658) you need an app to find and replace at the space level.

Take a look at [Space Content Manager](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226657?tab=overview&hosting=cloud), one of the features is a full featured find and replace tool. Others include a label manager.

We also have it as a separate app, [Find and Replace by Easy Apps.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1231783/)

You can restrict any feature by space, user or group which we think is important for bulk editing tools.

All our apps are build with Forge.

Enterprise Confluence and Cloud Confluence
Asked by Brian Dulin:

I have a need to be able to relate our organization's Enterprise Jira to our JiraCloud instance. Understanding, there's not a way to do this at the Jira level but wondering if there is a way to do this at the Confluence level? Our Enterprise is on Confluence, however our JiraCloud is not. Is there a way to "connect" the two instances through Confluence?


Answers:
author: Fazila Ashraf
body: Hi [@Brian Dulin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5355830)

What do you refer as Enterprise Jira/Confluence? Do you mean jira cloud enterprise plan or data center?

What kind of connection are you expecting between the sites?

comments: author: Brian Dulin
body: Hi [@Fazila Ashraf](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/538419) I would like to be able to connect an epic between the 2 instances. For example, at our company, there is an Enterprise Jira instance utilized by the majority of the organization. They use Confluence as well. However, the group I am in uses JiraCloud. Therefore, if we have work to do related to one of their epics, they can't see anything that we are doing. (our Kanban board, for example). I wasn't sure if there was a way to use confluence to accomplish the connection or if there was another option?

Confluence Data Center, one user's language set to German out of the blue
Asked by Gary O_Connell:

Hello,

Our Confluence instance language settings are set to "Automatically detect browser setting".

We have a user who has been navigating Confluence for years. Yesterday, her language was suddenly switched to German. She hasn't been searching anything differently or using any other external platforms that might cause this.  

I'm sure if the auto settings were changed it would reset and we could choose, but how did this happen now.

How has this happened, and how can it be resolved/avoided in future.

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: If it were cloud I'd be more likely to accuse Confluence of doing something wacky. However you labeled this as data center, so I'm less likely to believe your end user's story. She may not have done something intentionally, but unless the entire site switched languages, I very much doubt it is a confluence thing. I can't think of any steps you could do to prevent this, save for uninstalling all the unused language support.

Create status in Confiform Table view based on different value of other fields
Asked by Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta:

There is field with valuese of Date in Confiform. So, status should automatically turn In process, completed based on date.

Suppose if difference between current date and date mentioned in the field is 300-365 days then "In process" and if greater than 365 days then Expired.

|---------|------------|
| Date    | Status     |
| 4/4/23  | Expired    |

How can I enlarge a plantuml diagram?
Asked by mawi:

I create any diagram and the size seems arbitrarily set.

Is there a way to resize it?

I create a small diagram, it gets some size. I cant find an apparent way to simply make it fit to the page width/column width/table cell width that I give it to utilize: I tried making more space on the page, hoping that will make the diagram fill out and expand. But it just enlarges the "macro-box/placeholder"! The diagram itself is never enlarged - no matter how much space I give the placeholder! (Its like an old movie with black area on the sides.)

Small diagram work ok:ish. Larger diagrams are basically unreadable, using this plugin.  

There has got to be a solution?

BR! /marcus

PS  
Setting to "original size" is not ok. That would mean I have to enter some width, go back out to see if it fits, go back into editor and edit the size, go back out and re-check ... repeat until it fits ok.... I tried this way, it takes so much time it is absurd. I could potentially do this for some important diagram, but other users will never be able to cope with this as a workaround.


Answers:
author: Igor Medeiros - Modus Create
body: Hi [@mawi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1914158)

Not sure if you were able to find a definitive fix for this one yet.

However, I'd like to mention that our app [Markdown, HTML, PlantUML, LaTeX, Diagrams, Open API, Mermaid](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211438/markdown-html-plantuml-latex-diagrams-open-api-mermaid?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) can assist you with it.

It provides responsive diagrams, including but not limited to PlantUML, that will resize according to the Confluence macro container size.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to know more.


author: Clark Everson
body: Hi [@mawi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1914158)

With third party applications you may get someone familiar with it. However there are many apps int he marketplace. I know i have never heard of the mxgraph app.

If you haven't already I would recommend reaching out to the app developer. If you are not the Atlassian Admin at your org you can reach out to them and they can inform you of or get you in contact with the developer

Best,

Clark

Confiforms - Formula Field type - Expression
Asked by S?ndor Szauer:

Hello Guys,

I would like to have a field which gives me the string value "To be revised" if end date of a contract is in 2 months and it's "fixed term" (type==1) OR if the type of the contract is "open-ended" (type==2) and 3 years passed after start date of the contract, otherwise the value should be "Actual". It should also have an "Archive" state if the field "coordinator check" would change to "Archive" (cooCheck:5) .

I have a Formula field and I have the following expression which works for the first part. I got actual and to be revised as I expected:

IF (\[entry.validUntil\]\<(\[now\]+5184000000)\&\&\[entry.type\]==1,"To be revised",

IF(\[entry.type\]==2\&\&(\[entry.validFrom\]\<\[now\]-94670778000),"To be revised","Actual"))

But I can't arrange, that the Field gives me "Archive" state.

I tried a lot of things, this one for last time:

IF (\[entry.validUntil\]\<(\[now\]+5184000000)\&\&\[entry.type\]==1,"To be revised",

IF(\[entry.type\]==2\&\&(\[entry.validFrom\]\<\[now\]-94670778000),"To be revised"

IF(\[entry.cooCheck\]==5,"Archiv","Actual")))

But it gives me the failure:

Expression: \[IF (-598755600000\<(1715155245175+5184000000)\&\&2==1,"To be revised", IF(2==2\&\&(-472266000000\<1715155245175-94670778000),"To be revised" IF(2==5,"Archiv","Actual")))\] could not be calculated, Unknown operator '"' at position 150

Can somebody [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) maybe help me?

Thanks a lot.


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@S?ndor Szauer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5223262)

You need to nest your IF statements

A bit hard for me to understand the whole logic you need/have, but the expression construction should be like this

```
IF ([entry.a]<0, "Fail", IF([entry.a]>30, "Over", "Good"))
```

See the nesting in IF conditions...

Incomplete page properties report macro output

We have several pages using the page properties report macro. Although the page labels are set properly and the page properties macro configuration is also set up properly (we've seen the same content working in a different space). The created reports are either incomplete or show no content found. As per the provider of the content a similar issue has been rarely seen when the confluence site index was corrupt. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

ConfiForms Checkbox Group Validation
Asked by Franz:

Dear community, is it possible to make a change to the ConfiForms Field Definition for Checkbox Group Validation in order to receive additional message on your form?

In Detail:

I use a very large Form with a lot of Checkbox Groups. There are approx 20 Categories with different Checkbox choices. As it is a tasklist, all of them should be ticked. However, due to the complexity of the process, it is not possible to manage all at once so the person should be returning to the form for the period of time (sometimes one week or more) to fulfill all the tasks.

I would like the form to be able to inform the user, that not all tasks have been completed, as long as all the boxes are not ticked. This would idealy be a field on top of the form which should display "not all tasks have been completed". If all the checkboxes are ticked, the message would be "tasks completed".

Is this possible to achieve?

Thanks in advance,

Franz


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: You can have a formula field that checks for number of selected options in the field and if that is less that total options will produce one label, or another

Or as follows, utilizing "getUnselectedOptions" function from <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions>

(assuming your checkbox group field is called yourcheckboxfield)

```
(IF([entry.id.getUnselectedOptions(yourcheckboxfield)]>0, "not all tasks have been completed", "tasks completed"))

Dimensions of the Content formatting macro Advanced Cards?
Asked by Samantha Jones:

I'm using the 'content formatting macro - advanced cards' and want to upload my own image for better visual communcation of the category or theme.  

Issue: When I upload my own image - the whole image is not taken into the frame. The zoom function doesn't work in this case (it just zooms out a little). And I've tried to adjust the dimensions in figma but it still doesn't bring the whole image into the frame.   

I want the images to be adaptive to the number of cards I might use on a page. Some pages have two while others might have 4 columns.  

Please suggest the best approach to this problem. Thank you.
