Why is Jira issue information not showing in ConfiForms TableView using Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Stephanie Guzman:

I am trying to reference Jira issues related to other information being entered in a ConfiForms TableView using Confluence Cloud. I am using ConfiForms Field Definition type = Jira Issues (multi-select) within my ConfiForms Form Definition.

![Capture1.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/206560i7E2198790F888B14/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture1.PNG")

I then added that definition to the TableView.

![Capture2.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/206562i8169CFC8070D2896/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture2.PNG")

When I test out the form, entering the first two letters does not provide anything to select for a jira link. When I tried to paste the link directly or type an issue key that exists, the info in the table shows the message: "Issue does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."

![Capture.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/206559iE55839FCB6B14DC2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")However, when I paste the link into the confluence page directly, outside of the form, it shows just fine. According to the Vertuna wiki, Confluence Cloud should be capable of using the Jira Issues (multi-select) feature in ConfiForms.

This appears to be a permission issue specific to ConfiForms and not Confluence since the link appears just fine outside of the form. I am an admin for Jira, but not for Confluence. I tried including the specific Jira project as an app link in the space settings -\> integrations -\> application links. Nothing changed after a re-test.

![Capture3.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/206568iB029F1FFD3454EC6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture3.PNG")

It could also be an incorrect usage of the ConfiForms Field definition. I tried both with "JIRA server" and no selection for Jira service in the pulldown menu, those were my only two options.

![Capture4.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/206571i1A30FCE141D28F01/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture4.PNG")

Is there a permission setting I need to request of a Confluence Admin?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

ConfiForms uses own connections to Jira that should be set up in a way that is shown here <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/FORMS/How+to+create+a+form+to+create+a+Jira+issue+from+Confluence>

The field itself should auto suggest issues as you type. If that is not working the connection to Jira (from ConfiForms) needs to be verified.

In other words, please check with your Confluence administrator that "Jira server" connection is working (see the earlier mentioned link to find the right place where this connection is configured)

Alex

comments: author: Stephanie Guzman
body: Thank you! The connection had not been completely configured. The admin needed to create an API token and enter the login details as suggested on the link you provided.

Sharepoint Connector link spins in Confluence Cloud
Asked by Patricia Cully:

We have downloaded the SharePoint Connector tool to our Confluence Cloud. We ran a test in Confluence by linking to a SharePoint document. The following occurred.

1. Some team members can view the document in Confluence.

2. One User who is an Admin for both Confluence and SharePoint just sees a spinning icon and the document never materializes.

3. When the document does resolve for some users, the title of the box reads "OneDrive" even though the document is located in SharePoint.

Can someone please assist?


Answers:

How to define delimiter/separator on Smart Multi-Select field in ConfiForms
Asked by Daniel Schimanek:

Hello,

I've been following this great tutorial to create several multi select fields with a lot of entries from a spreadsheet: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-generate-a-confiforms-macro-multi-select-list-from-a-csv/qaq-p/1948555>

So I do have one main confiforms form that uses multiple Smart Multi-Select fields referencing to further confiforms (as decribed above).

![1B11B6B3-5A2F-4D6D-B196-AAD4704662EF.jpeg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/206564iAB5890AE0E8FB5E6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "1B11B6B3-5A2F-4D6D-B196-AAD4704662EF.jpeg")

The referencing and multiple selectio works great!

Now I need to export the main confiforms database as csv with a specific delimiter "\|,\|" for the entries of the Smart Multi-Select fields. Unfortunately I was not able to set them up or find another workaround, although trying hard using virtual functions etc.

At the "normal" multi-select field I am able to set the delimiter/separator as desired.

Is there any solution to this issue?

Thanks, Daniel

Welcome to this community [@Daniel Schimanek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4989165)

You can customize your export via <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Data+Export+tricks+and+hints#DataExporttricksandhints-CustomisingexportsviaConfiFormsViews>

And you can transform the values as you like, I believe something like this should be possible (not sure how the smart field itself is named, but let's assume it is called "smartfield")

```
smartfield.transform(GR1.append(|).prepend(|))
```

comments: author: Daniel Schimanek
body: Hi [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) ,

thanks so much for your quick reply!

Your solution works fine, except that I do not get a "," between the two "\|" but a "space".

Here's a screenshot from the xls export:

![2022-07-19 10_41_54-Clipboard.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/206689i94A1749C1F40A92C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2022-07-19 10_41_54-Clipboard.jpg")

Any suggestion how to change the actual delimiter to ","?

Thanks, Daniel

Can I dynamically set an Include Page based on a link?
Asked by Mark Capistrant:

I am working on a page that has 14 sections, each has a link for more information. Based on individual links, I'd like to assign the corresponding page to an Insert Page. Can this be done?


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Do you mean include page macro and not insert page macro?

comments: author: Mark Capistrant
body: I thought of that route, but I didn't see a way to display the appropriate full page in what otherwise would be considered an IFrame on the same page. Would using a Page Macro be the best way to insert that content into a section of the same page?


author: Bill Bailey
body: I am not clear I understand what you want, but the include page macro mirrors an entire page at the location it is inserted, meaning you can have more than one on the same page.

If I understand what you are trying to do, you could place the Include macro inside of an expand macro, with the title "For more information" . When a user clicks that title, it will open the expand macro and your display the included page content.

How to get a page from my company confluence using curl?
Asked by Jesus Fernandez:

I am trying to learn to use the API (I am a junior developer) I have been going through the documentation and if I do the login as it is mentioned here <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/> using this command in the windows terminal:*curl -D- -X GET -H "Authorization: Basic \<MyEncodedEmailrAndToken\>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" <https://myspace/wiki/rest/api/space>* I get a 200 response.

But if I try any other method (for instance *curl -D- -X GET -H "Authorization: Basic \<MyEncodedEmailrAndToken\>" -H "Content-Type: application/json"* *<http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/content/3965072?expand=body.storage>*) from the documenation I always get a 401 error, which is confusing to me as if I am able to use the first command to get the space information why then I get unauthorized response. What am I doing wrong?


Answers:
author: Craig Castle-Mead
body: Hi [@Jesus Fernandez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3980368)

I'm not sure if the supplied URLs are just examples, or what you're actually using - but in the first (working) example, you're calling <https://myspace/wiki/rest>, in the second (not working), you reference <http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest> - just checking that you are using the correct hostname and context/base path for both calls?

When I'm building anything using GET calls on REST endpoints that I can view through a browser - usually by username+password, I'll always check the URL in the browser first, then try and take that known working endpoint and get it working on the command line using my auth token or whatever.

comments: author: Jesus Fernandez
body: hi [@Craig Castle-Mead](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/224850) yes I am calling in both <https://myspace/>... it was a typo copy pasting. I am not sure how to view and endpoint through the browser, how would I pass the username and password? and will that work? because when using the console I always got an error saying username and password login is not valid anymore, therefore I had to create a token and use it


author: Jesus Fernandez
body: Ok I sort it out by using your advice of testing the endpoint on a browser first, it seems I was pointing at the wrong one. Thanks!

Is it possible to create a new PARENT page? (NOT a child page)
Asked by Nicholas Teutonico:

Hi there,

Been trying to accomplish for hours what seems like it would be an extremely intuitive and obvious process of creating a PARENT page. No matter what I do though, it creates a child page and then gives me the option to create other sub-child pages within that child page which is NOT what I want. I simply want to be able to create a new parent page, then populate that parent page with the appropriate child pages. Why is this so difficult? It gives you the option to select which parent page you want it under, but not the option to create an entirely new parent page?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can't do this. Not because the function isn't there, but because it's logically impossible.

You can't have a page that does not have a parent (for the top-level pages, the space is the parent). A child page can only belong to one parent. So whenever you are looking at a page, you can't "create a parent" because it already has one.

But, once you understand that structure, you can see that all pages are automatically parents, whatever level they are currently at. Create your page, and move the children underneath it.

I suspect when you say "create parent page", you mean "create a page at the bottom of the tree, alongside the home page".

To do that, you can

* Click + next to "pages" in the tree on the left
* Create the page anywhere, then go to space settings -\> manage pages -\> reorder, and drag it into place
* Create the page anywhere, then click "move" and drop it into the top level


author: Bill Bailey
body: Are you saying that you want to create a new page at the top-level of the space? And you are creating pages now using the "c" keyboard shortcut (or Create button), which creates child pages?

If this is the case, just make sure you are at the top-level page of the space, and then create you page. This action that will create a page at the same level as the other top pages in the space.

How to create directory inside directory.
Asked by Allwave AV System Pvt. Ltd:

We have several sites for a specific customer. How we can create a directory inside another directory so that we can save the documents in a specific directory.


Answers:
author: Srinatha T
body: Hi [@Allwave AV System Pvt. Ltd](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4911272) ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

To understand how attachments are stored in confluence , you can read the below KB.

* [Hierarchical-file-system-attachment-storage](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/hierarchical-file-system-attachment-storage-704578486.html)

So you can change/relocate the location of the attachment directory to different location but you cant customise where to store a particular attachment etc its all internally calculated by confluence.

Hope that answers your question.

Have a good day!

Thanks,

Srinath T


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Confluence doesn't have a concept of directories. When you're working with files, all you do is attach them to pages (content).

Pages can have a hierarchy, so you can do something like a directory - attachments on page A could be seen as a directory within page B, when page B is the parent page of A.

Images keep reverting to older versions.
Asked by Anna:

Hello!

I've been writing some documentation that uses screenshots/images for clarity. I have a few placeholder images I would like to replace with different images.

However, the images are not always being correctly saved when I replace them. I swap out the images by dragging them into the page, resize them accordingly and publish in order to export the page as a PDF. The changes sometimes stay for a bit before reverting to the placeholders, but sometimes they revert instantly. Sometimes it's a few of them, sometimes it's more. It seems random.

I've been trying to replace the images for hours now- it's like they keep getting rolled back! This only happens to images. Any other content is saved.

Is there any way I can insert or replace images and make them stay? It feels like I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what it is.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Anna](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4944706) Are the images you are using to update the placeholder images the same name? If so what happens if you name the differently from the placeholder name?

comments: author: Anna
body: I renamed some of the files and now it seems to work. Am I correct in assuming that Confluence overwrites files with the same name? (Can I see a list of uploaded files somewhere?)

Thanks for your help!


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Anna](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4944706) I believe that is the case that they override files of the same name.

PDF Export Styling
Asked by Kevin Parenteau:

I need some help with my PDF exports. I have read through the documentation and can get some things to show on the exports, but struggling to find a key element in particular, but then also how to get them to show properly from a formatting sense.

Mainly I would like to have my logo on the upper right of each page header, document title in the middle with the SPACENAME dynamically populated.

First issue is I am trying to set the export options globally and use dynamic content (in particular the space name) so I can set something like (SPACENAME - Runbook Documentation) where SPACENAME is the name of each of my customers. This would allow the global header option to apply to each space.

Second, I would like to create some kind of template shell I can use to create a title page for each space where I can essentially add the customer's logo, contact info, etc. If possible, even pulling the data from a page within the space *(since each page name within the space is the same like "Company Info")*, that would be fantastic!

I have been trying to use Dreamweaver to create HTML code but it doesn't work as well as I would have hoped. Wanting to leverage some tables, or columns or something to strategically place content, etc. Is there another editor that I could use that might be more friendly for formatting visually, then export the code to Confluence?

Please advise... Thanks in advance!  
Kevin


Answers:
author: Kevin Parenteau
body: No thoughts on this? I am having a hard time figuring out how to center things. I am very capable in HTML, but many of the inline CSS tricks used on a web page are not working for this. In particular with alignments.

I can get the document title and page numbers centered on the pages, but say for example on the header, I cannot figure out how to get a logo in the upper right corner, with "IT Runbook" in the center, and possibly the customer info on the upper left.

I also am having a hard time getting each page to break in the PDF so each page starts a new clean page.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

* Work in edit mode
* Autcorrect text
* Restrict visibility for private chats
* Get an overview of all inline comments over a page(s) or/and space(s)
* Archive inline comments on a page to refer to it later
* Prioritize inline tasks
* Add color to make your notes more noticeable
