How to link two tasks on Trello
Asked by Vitor Daudt:

Hello,

I've been using Trello and trying to link a task on two different boards, but haven't been able to do so. For exemple:

I have a board called "company a" with a task "meeting with managers" and I would like for the same task to apear on the board "All companies", but not only copping it, but making them attached so if i chage the description in one it change on the other.

Is it possible to do so? thanks


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: Right now, that feature is not available natively in Trello.   
In the meantime, you can add a link to the original card on the new card so that you can refer back to it easily, but it will not automatically synchronize changes between the cards.

Why are some Jira Issues presented like an embedded Jira link and some just as normal links?
Asked by Viktoria Gassner:

Dear Community,

My question relates to the embedding of Jira Issues on Confluence.  
On a Confluence page I have added the macro "Open Tasks", where all open tasks of the meetings are displayed with the linked Jira Issues. Unfortunately since a few days these Jira Issues are only shown as a link in the Open Tasks, which is much more confusing, because you can't see the status of the issue anymore.  
What could be the reason for this?

That's how it looked before:

That's what is shown now:

Confluence not starting getting error Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no sqljdbc_auth in
Asked by Cymax Support:

Hi

I am trying to build a staging environment on a Windows Server and have downloaded the zip file for confluence 7.91 and copied our confluence-home folder across and gone through all the configuration files and updated them

I downloaded and extracted the following JAVA and also added them to the System Environmental section in Windows

OpenJDK11U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.7_10

OpenJDK11U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.7_10

We use Integrated Auth for our MS SQL Server Database

But I am getting the following Error in the atlassian-confluence log file when I start the confluence Service.

This could be because:  
- Your database isn't running  
- The configuration of your confluence.cfg.xml file is incorrect (user, password, or database URL etc.)  
- There is a network issue between Confluence and your database (e.g. firewall, database doesn't allow remote access etc.)

Any help would be appreciated to resolve this issue.

What happened to "Table Excerpt" & "Table Excerpt Include" macros
Asked by brett.moore:

It appears that "Table Excerpt" \& "Table Excerpt Include" macros were part of Confluence at some point. What happened to them and why were they removed? Is there a macro that I can use in place of this?

Multiple pages export with cover page
Asked by GREGORY LOYER:

Hello,

I use confluence for all my clients' projects that I manage within my company in order to have an accessible and centralized knowledge base. I write a lot of functional documentation that I classify in pages and subpages. So I export multiple pages to PDF quite often. I would have liked to know if it was possible to configure a cover page with my company logo and a documentation title when I do multiple page PDF exports. Eventually, it would also be quite interesting if I could add my clients' logo on my exports.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Welcome to the community! There is no way to do this natively in Confluence but there are some great apps in the Atlassian Marketplace. I recommend that you try [K15t Scroll PDF Exporter for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview?). If you need to include a review and approval workflow before exporting you can now integrate [Scroll PDF Exporter with Comala Document Management](https://www.comalatech.com/automatically-create-pdfs-of-your-confluence-pages-with-comala-document-management-and-scroll-pdf-exporter-2/?).

Atlassian Companion not launching on macOS Catalina
Asked by Tommy Braas:

Hi,

I've heard good things about Atlassian Companion in terms of managing documents attached to Confluence pages.

When I downloaded the app today I got the following message below. When should we expect an update that passes the check so I can use the app?

![companion_fail.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/121415i30025DAF2ACD3C4E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "companion_fail.png")


Answers:

body: Hi [@Tommy Braas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3354816) ,

We had a similar issue to this is the past but it should be fixed now. The Atlassian Companion dmg installer is notarized with Apple.

Could I confirm that you downloaded the latest installer from [here](https://update-nucleus.atlassian.com/Atlassian-Companion/291cb34fe2296e5fb82b83a04704c9b4/latest/darwin/x64/Atlassian%20Companion.dmg)?

I am also running MacOS Catalina and I don't receive this error. Could you provide the exact OS version? (I am using 10.15.7)

Regards,  
Alex K (Developer at Atlassian)

comments: author: Tommy Braas
body: Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply. The link you provided appears to download the same image as I've retrieved from the Mac download link in the "Download the latest Companion version" box at the top of the page [https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/install-atlassian-companion-992678880.html](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/install-atlassian-companion-992678880.html?)

At least both images have the exact same number of bytes in them.

I'm on 10.15.6, which shouldn't make a difference compared to what you're on.

See attached screen shot.


author: Alex K
body: Hi [@Tommy Braas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3354816) ,

I wonder if your machine has any specific configuration/firewall that is preventing it from contacting Apple's Gatekeeper service. This request is necessary to validate the signature of the application.

If you have admin access for your account, I would suggest manually allowing the application to launch [as detailed here](https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT202491).

I have checked that the Companion Mac installer opens successfully on several other co-workers' Catalina devices.

Edit Dropdown Choice X Days After Page is Made
Asked by Michael Confessore:

I am attempting to edit a Confiforms Dropdown Field's selected Option automatically several days after the page that the form is on has been created. So for example, 5 days after the page is created, the drop down option is changed from A to B automatically. Is it possible to define this through a formula in the Field Definition somehow?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Generally changing the options in the dropdown field (and especially removing) after you have entered some data is a very bad practice.

As exiting rows will be broken in a sense that they will still be referencing the options that you have removed

If you want to "remove" the options from a dropdown I suggest to use a ConfiForms Field Definition rule with action "Apply filter on field" to remove the options you dont want your users to choose anymore

Alex

comments: author: Michael Confessore
body: Sorry I should've been more clear, I'm not looking to remove options from the drop down, I'm looking to change the selection of all of the records in the table for that drop down. So 5 days after the page is created, every record - regardless of what the drop down selection originally was - will change (or just stay the same if the record already had that value). So for instance if the drop down has options A, B, and C and the table has a mix of all three, days later this rule will change every record to B.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: There is no scheduler in ConfiForms that can do it for you, but there is a [REST API](https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/REST+API#RESTAPI-Updatespecificfield) you can use to do something like this (but it needs to be scheduled elsewhere)

User Defined List in TableView
Asked by Michael Confessore:

I have set up a Confiforms TableView on my page with a regular form that users can fill out to add a new row to the table. I am looking to have one of the table's fields contain a user-defined list of arbitrary length, similar to what a user sees with a Checkbox Group but without the Options defined ahead of time. Is there functionality to incorporate such an expandable list/data type? If not, is there a way to incorporate bullets into a TextArea via use of regex?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Probably this comes as closest

<https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/User+macro+to+show+how+to+make+a+ConfiForms+dropdown+field+with+possibility+to+choose+other+option>

(does not have to be implemented as a user macro, just given as an idea that helps you to have "re-usable" combo of fields to use in multiple forms)

How can I add a link , which opens in another tab?
Asked by Heike Koppen:

A reader does not want to leave the site, just because he / she wants to click on the link. Therefore I normally use the function "Link open in another tab", but I can't find this in Confluence.

Thanx so much!


Answers:
author: felix.weber
body: Hi Heike,

IF I am correct this might be related to the "Wiki render style"

1. Field configuration
2. Search for the project
3. Search for the appropriate field
4. Check its Renderer settings
5. Set text renderer as wiki style

not tested but if I am correct we had a similar case while back

How can I define exact target page at "create page from template" macro?
Asked by Amelie Ambos:

Is it possible to specify the exact parent page when creating a page with the "create page from template" macro? If I specify the space key, the page is always appended to the home page. But I want to append the new page to a child page. For your information: The page should be created from a different space, so the macro cannot simply be inserted on the parent page.

I hope someone can help me. Many thanks in advance.

Adding Anonymous Access to Space
Asked by Daniel Rose:

Hi, I'm struggling a bit here. I'm trying to enable anonymous access for my Confluence Cloud space and have been trying to follow the guides to do this. My problem is that I do not have the Anonymous Users section on either the space permissions, or the global permissions pages. I have groups, and individual users, but no anonymous user section.

I am on the standard plan - albeit the free trial for now.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The spaces will not show anonymous until you have enabled it in the global permissions.

There is only one global permission page, and it should show four sections - Groups, Individual users, Unlicenced Access and Anonymous at the bottom.

If it is not there, then I would guess that you are using a free install of Confluence, not a Trial.

comments: author: Daniel Rose
body: Thanks for this but I've checked. It clearly says I'm on the trial and this is doubly true as you can't change any settings in the free version but I can. I've contacted support as I've found some other weird things that suggest something is wrong in the back end - for example, my profile says I've never logged into confluence...despite literally being logged in to view that!


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yeah, that sounds messed up, definitely a support call!


author: Daniel Rose
body: Support have solved this now. There's a new feature called "public links" and when this is on the anonymous options don't show. Turning public links off re-enables it.


author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: [@Daniel Rose](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4186694)

Would you mind asking them for some documentation on public links? I've been searching for it and can't find anything online.

How do i make my confluence public?
Asked by Matthew Adams:

Hello.

I am editing a shared confluence page which i have to log in to view and edit.

Is it possible to change the area to public so it can be viewed as a webpage but can only be edited by logging in and have permission?

Thanks

Matt


Answers:
author: Guilhem Dupuy
body: Hello Matt,

Indeed, you can make a Confluence space public from the **Space Settings =\> Permissions.** You can then parameter the **Anonymous** access and select the "View only" permissions if you don't want anyone to be able to edit your Confluence.

You can then **restrict** the pages these anonymous users shouldn't have access to.

Let me know if it helped,

Guilhem

Search content API fails with CQL error for cql=lastModified>="2020/11/10" but works for type=page
Asked by sam saas:

I am using this API :   
<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/#api-api-content-search-get>

For cql=type=page the pagination works fine.  
But when cql='lastModified\>="2020/11/10" is passed it fails with the following error :

CQL was parsed but the search manager was unable to execute the search. CQL: 'lastModified\>=\\"2020/11/10\\"'. Error message: com.atlassian.confluence.search.searchnsmarts.rest.SSSearchClientException: There was an illegal request passed to S\&S Content Search API : HTTP/1.1 400 "}  

Is this a REST API issue?


Answers:
author: sam saas
body: On drilling down on this, figured out that the cursor generated for the next page when the cql='lastModified\>="2020/11/10" is passed, contains a "%2B" character set, which passed in the REST call gets encoded to "+".  

In order to fix this, I had to escape the %2B in the cursor by replacing it with %252B.  

Ideally, cursors sent by Atlassian should not have standard urlencode character-set , as these are passed in the resource path of the API.
