Using boards as templates - Members not copied
Asked by Neale Hollingsworth:

We use Trello for managing the process of bringing new products to market. We have created a "template" board for new products, which has several cards for the tasks that need to be completed by various team members. The individual cards all have specific relevant mambers attached, but when we "Copy" the template board to create a new product, all the relationships between cards and individual members are lost.

We have a workaround, by copying LISTS rather than whole boards, but this is much more cumbersome than it should be.

Is there no way of hard-wiring the EXACT set-up of a board as a template that can be used to create a new board?

Hi Neale,

It's a standard behavior by Trello to not copy board members over when a board is copied. I think, this is out of security reasons.

I am brainstorming a solution with Butler for Trello to create a workflow for that, but Butler is currently not accessible for new users, so I don't know if that would help you at all. (?)


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Neale Hollingsworth](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2721886) You can see an example of using a "board of boards" approach with a template board copied every time a new card is created here:

<https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/5b4f7cbd3e3c4bfe7ad94a5e7abdb7cc>

This is the example in my "Introducing Trellinator" article with setup instructions:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-articles/Introducing-Trellinator-Automate-Trello-with-Google-Apps-Script/ba-p/925271>

The only thing is that, since the copied board begins its life without the members, they won't already be added as per the template board.

The way to fix this is to add a label to each card in your template board with the username to be assigned in the created board.

The above code example would need this modified version of the createNewProjectBoard function in order to enable this "add member based on label" functionality:

How to set up Cronofy power-up?
Asked by Jozef Sedlak:

Hello, I am new to Trello. Would like to ask you how to set up the Cronofy power-up. I make it authorize with my account but then nothing happens. I go to google cal but no calendar was added. Do I have add calendars manually?

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Vinod Ramadoss
body: Hi,

I suppose this could be a sync issue, kindly make sure you have set up at least one sync rule for a board. You can do this by adding the Cronofy Power-Up to a Board and then clicking on the Cronofy button to define the sync settings.

Kindly refer the FAQ link below for more details

When in the Trello app, why is there no "reply" option, when someone comments?
Asked by BirdieBox BirdieBox:

In the desktop version, reply automatically tags the original commenter. In the app, you are forced to manually tag the commenter.


Answers:
author: carolyn french
body: Hello BirdieBox,

I have the Android app and on the Home screen, when I click "reply", it does @mention the original commenter. Also, when I go into a Board and a card, and click "reply", it also @mentions the original commenter.

Can you share more info about the app you're not seeing this in?

Carolyn

comments: author: BirdieBox BirdieBox
body: Certainly, and thank you Carolyn.

I'm using my iPhone X, so it would be the iOS version.

Unfortunately, and surprisingly, I don't have a "reply" button to click.

That makes me sadder that it exists in Android, but not in iOS. :)


author: carolyn french
body: I submitted a request for support to respond to see what they say about it. Hopefully they chime in here- otherwise I'll update.


author: Garrett
body: Hey [@BirdieBox BirdieBox](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2721357) and [@carolyn french](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/664664)

Currently, the reply feature is on the web and Android apps, but not iOS.

Our development teams work asynchronously on the different mobile apps, so there are some features that may be present on one but not the other.

We definitely do strive for parity between the two, and I'll let our iOS team know you'd really like to see that reply feature on the app in a future version.

Thanks!

Adding Bitbucket issues to card
Asked by _alexbk66:

How do I add a Bitbucket issue to my To-Do card? It's a most sensible thing to use Trello with Bitbucket for tracking issues - but it doesn't seem possible?

What's the point to add Bitbucket commit to trello card for example?


Answers:
author: _alexbk66
body: deleted


author: Blair at Atlassian
body: Hi Alex,

The [Bitbucket Cloud Power-up for Trello](https://trello.com/power-ups/588a331cc86ffbe08f5d2c67/bitbucket-cloud) allows you to:

* Quickly jump to Bitbucket by creating a link on your board.
* Attach branches, commits and pull requests to cards.
* See important information regarding your code from the card.
* Show the status of your pull requests and other linked information from the front of the card.

To attach a Bitbucket branch, commit, or pull request to a card, you can either paste the Bitbucket URL on top of a card, create a URL attachment on the card using the URL to the Bitbucket resource, or use the card's Power-Up button on the sidebar of the card.  

Check out our documentation for screenshots and tips: <https://help.trello.com/article/1082-using-the-bitbucket-power-up>  

comments: author: _alexbk66
body: Man, I know that!

"Attach branches, commits and pull requests to cards"

My question was about **issues** - not "branches, commits and pull requests"

And what's the point to attach commit to a card? Commit means something is already accomplished - so there's no need to track it.

But tracking open issues is most important feature IMHO

Custom Fields Powerup
Asked by katie chase:

Is there a power-up similar to Custom Fields that allows you to have a larger text area where you would like in a card? The current custom text field is pretty useless if you're trying to see all the text similar to the 'description' box.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@katie chase](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2719515) there are a few ways you could achieve something like this, for example the NoteJoy power up would allow you to edit some text within Trello's desktop or web app interfaces, you could link to a Google Doc, probably other things.

Can you describe your use case in a bit more detail? What information are you storing there and how do you need to use it?

comments: author: katie chase
body: I like the description box the cards have and want to add another box just like it. But that doesn't seem to be an option.

Macro synced to word
Asked by Jaron Curry:

I'm creating a page in my personal page and want to know how I make a word clickable for a flow chart to pop up. Essentially make one of my words a link for a flow chart to pop up.


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Jason and welcome to the Community!

If I'm understanding correctly, you're wanting a link to a word document that then pops up the document within the same window to display content, in this case, a workflow.

Confluence Cloud doesn't allow for user macros due to performance issues they can/will cause. More on this at [Functional differences in Confluence Cloud vs. Server.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/functional-differences-in-confluence-cloud-vs-server/)

With that said, there are marketplace apps that can allow for extended functionality, here is a preset search for [Atlassian Marketplace \| Confluence Cloud \| Office Connector.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=office%20connector)

If your files are hosted or attached within Confluence you can also simply link to the files, though they won't open in a pop-up, more information on linking can be found at [Insert links.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/)

I would like to give access to confluence docs to external users, does this use another license?
Asked by Mow Chung:

I would like my Customer to be able to view my Confluence reports. It will be external to my company. Does this use up another of my licenses?


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@Mow Chung](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4410553)

If you're OK with the page that the report(s) is on, you could use the [Public Link](https://www.k15t.com/rock-the-docs/documentation-guide/publishing/give-basic-online-access) feature in Confluence Cloud.

If it needs to be private (behind a login) then yes, they'll need a license.

comments: author: Mow Chung
body: Matt, thanks. Is the Confluence Cloud part of standard licenses or do I need to subscribe to it? I saw the Public Link and it looks like I just need to provide the emails of the ones I want to share the document with which is great.


author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@Mow Chung](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4410553)

It looks like Confluence Cloud is what you're using today. If that's the case, then Public Links is included in the Confluence Cloud license.

My semicolon delimited CSV export will not open properly on my Mac, only comma delimited.?
Asked by greg.butler:

I have successfully downloaded a CSV export (comma delimited) on my mac and opened the file but because there are lots of commas in the description fields I decided to try a semicolon delimited export instead.

However, the second file does not open correctly either in TEXT EDITOR or EXCEL - the fields are misaligned.

Tried to revert to the comma version by putting speech marks around the comma (",") but when I did that and imported, the speech marks showed up in the text.


Answers:
author: Rob Horan
body: If you're in a pinch see if you can open the file in Google Sheets and then export it to a form your Mac can use.

comments: author: greg.butler
body: Makes sense. I did try but it still went awry in google sheets.


author: greg.butler
body: Feels like it is something to do with the original export, as my colleague can export OK from his PC (not Mac) and it stays intact on google sheets.

But the file I export does not look OK in excel or google sheets. (Also, it looks wrong when I open *his* file on my mac but he tells me its something to do with PCs adding extra invisible characters in text data that Mac interprets as, I guess, delimiters..)


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Try surrounding the text of each field (with commas in it) with quotes, not the separators.

For example, going a bit William Shatner:

The quick, brown, fox, jumped over the, lazy, dog ; Mr flibble says 'time to die'

You've suggested

The quick"," brown"," fox"," jumped over the"," lazy"," dog ; Mr flibble says 'time to die'

But I think you need

"The quick, brown, fox, jumped over the, lazy, dog" ; "Mr flibble says 'time to die'"

comments: author: greg.butler
body: Thank you for the quick response - the problem is that I can surround the comma using 'find and replace' in excel (12000 instances, 4000 issues). But its more tricky to surround the whole text and there are parts of the text (like tables) which would presumably not format correctly if encapsulated by speech marks?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Don't do it with "find and replace", it's too primitive. There's all sorts of ways you might do it, but there's actually a really simple trick I've used - set the export separator to "," rather than , then all you have to do is pad the beginning and end of each line with a "

With a "," separator, everything gets treated as content, it shouldn't affect any tables or selections. You should, of course, check that none of the text contains a "," though.

Why do image filenames no longer appear when you hover over them?
Asked by jeff:

I copy a lot of info out of Confluence for use in other platforms, and there are a lot of screenshots in the info. I used to be able to hover over the screenshot to see the filename, so I could pick it out of the attachments easily. This functions seems to have disappeared a couple days ago when the Caption feature was added. Is there any way to view the actual image filename?


Answers:
author: Owen Wallis
body: Hi Jeff, there are a few ways you can get to the filename:

- Click on the file in the 'view' mode - the name is at the top left of the media viewer

- In either edit or view mode via the attachments macro

- Via the attachments page

Hope this helps?

comments: author: jeff
body: My problem stems from the fact that I typically download all the attachments (30-50), which are often named Screenshot \<date\> \<time\>. It used to be that in Edit mode, I could hover over the image, and a pop-up would appear with the filename, so I could select the right image much easier and quicker. That feature seems to have disappeared, so now I have to either download the images from the page and rename them myself, or I have to follow the order (without messing it up) from the View page.


author: Owen Wallis
body: Ok understood, does using the attachments macro or link to the attachments page help?


author: jeff
body: I can get to the attachment page without an issue. But that doesn't show me the filename in the Edit content.

As for the macro, I don't have that so I don't know what if it would help.

As I said originally, this was a function that Confluence did on its own without me needing to install anything. I'm curious if the functionality was deprecated and replaced with something else, or if there is a setting I need to turn on in order to get that back?

I appreciate the help.


author: Owen Wallis
body: The feature was deprecated, but before captions rolled out.

In Confluence in 'edit' mode if you hit the slash command (type / ) and then type 'attachments' you'll be able to add the macro. Its build into Confluence so you don't need to install anything.

I just did a test and I can see the filenames.

Then after you publish the page you can use the macro to view or download files easily (either by opening them and downloading, or by right clicking on the name and choosing 'Save link as...'


author: Brantone
body: Suffering from same fate ... uploaded dozens of images that are all numbered, ut then Confluence reordered them for no apparent reason.

Change vertical axis unit into a date format
Asked by Romane Genty:

Hi, I'm trying to create a diagram with dates on the horizontal and also on the vertical axis. I can do it for the horizontal but not for the vertical. The chart macro just recognizes the first two numbers of the date for instance if it's on the 10th of June 2021 (written 10/06/2021 in the french order) the chart macro will only takes 10 into account and displays it. Can someone give me advice for this or could help me ? Thanks for your attention


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Romane Genty](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4431923) ,

As far as I know, the Chart macro doesn't support such type of graphs.

Try to browse Marketplace for any additional apps with this specific feature.

As usual, we suggest using our own app ([Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)) with a wide [range of graphs](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro), but your case is a rare one, so I can't come up with a suitable solution.

Change confluence to dark theme only for myself (not the whole team)
Asked by Francesco Simonazzi:

Hi there,

I wanted to change the confluence theme to dark, since I am reading a lot, it's becoming unbearable with the white background.

I found these steps:

1. Log into your **Confluence** instance as an admin.
2. Click the admin dropdown and choose Atlassian Marketplace.
3. Click Find new apps or Find new add-ons from the left-hand side of the page.
4. Locate **DarkTheme** for **Confluence** via search

really? just to change a theme?? I need to talk to my administrator to change the background color of the page??? is this a joke????


Answers:
author: Pietro Montorfano
body: uh yeah, just like google! To have a dark theme on gmail i've mailed gmail admin and asked to change the theme for me.... or use a client side script... really? this is the official response?

So no, the user theme is not supported. You can try to workaround this with 3rd parties browser plugins rather than load a custom, per-user defined css.

I was looking for the dark theme too


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Correct, remember that Confluence is a shared web-service and it's intended to present a consistent interface to the users.

Yes, it has themes, but themes apply to the space and it's supposed to look the same to everyone.

If you want to take a personalised theme for Confluence, that's up to you and your browser. Confluence is like sites such as, um, google, bbc, microsoft etc - they present a consistent presentation layer and if you want to do it differently, you mostly get browser plugins to do it. Stylus and Stylish have personalised browser themes for most Atlassian stuff, Cloud and Server, and the browser marketplaces are well worth a look

(Note - I'm not saying dark themes are bad, I tend to prefer them for a lot of stuff, but hate them for large amounts of reading - books, letters, mail, etc - really always should be light. **For me**. My terminals and IDEs tend towards dark, Jira I don't bother to try because I swap between so many of them, and Confluence should be dark writing on a light background to make it easier for me to read)

comments: author: Wouter Pinxten
body: Hoi Nic,  

can you we contact the product owner to request for a dark mode automatically.  
All competitors are providing this, not?

Kind regards,  
Wouter


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, you could raise an improvement request, but I would expect it to be closed as a duplicate of the existing ones.

Most Confluence competitors also don't have a dark mode, certainly not by default, as most people expect to read black on white documents.

Issue in Table of Content anchor and Office Excel macro
Asked by Namrata Koirala:

I created a page with Table of Content Macro and below in the same pages I have some excel attachments. I used Office Excel macro for that. But when I add excel file with office excel macro, the table of content anchor is not leading me to the correct heading. It just get stucked sometimes in the middle of the excel, or top of the excel. Removing the excel file solves the problem of pointing to the correct heading from Table of content.

But I need to add excel file and that excel file have multiple sheets so I showed one sheet in one, and other in next excel macro and so on.

Does anyone have this same problem? I need help in this matter. Thank you.


Answers:

Keep a heading for that respective Sheet under which you add the excel content.

In the Table of content Macro check if there is any Exceptions/ Inclusions.

If above things are done, the page should exactly go to the heading of the sheet.

Let me know if this solves!
