I can understand your feature request and can't understand users who attacht 1200 attachments to one page...

But sadly, if it's possible, you can do it...

Probably, what you could do: If you use ScriptRunner for Confluence, then should it be possible to create an EventListener on "AttachmentUpload" and then throw an error, if there are more attachments then the limit. But didn't try this and not sure, whether this would work :)

Migration of old user information
Asked by DevOps:

Hi

We run a Confluence installtion on a local virtual server and are planing to migrate to Confluence Cloud. In fact we already did a test migration but are missing some old information

The user information (e.g. posted or created from) on articles/pages from former employees does not exist anymore, are vanished and replaced with 'unknown' editor marks.  
But this information is nesessary for the history.

How can this be solved that Confluence entries still posess this kind of references?

Thank you in advance

Are the accounts that are coming over as unknown disabled or do they no longer exist in your instance? How are you managing users on your server instance?

comments: author: DevOps
body: Hi Brant

The accounts still exist but do not have a license assigned to them.  
Users are imported from Windows Active Directory via LDAP (group).

author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@DevOps](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4740283) It will only bring over the active users. Would you be able to activate them and then migrate and then deactivate them? Do you need them for historical purposes?


author: DevOps

How to change the link at the top left of the bar
Asked by Monica Collins:

We had a project that was renamed. In Jira, we created a new project with the new name, and moved the issues from the old project to the new one. In Confluence, the old space was kept, only the name was changed. It still has the old key.

When the users click on the squares at the top left of the Confluence page, there is a link to go to JIra. The page they are taken to is a board in the old project, not in the new project. What needs to be changed so that when they click on the squares, then click on Jira, they are taken to the new project?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Monica Collins](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4463076)

I am assuming you are referencing the Jira links that are at the top of the page. These are created when an issue is linked to a Confluence page. You would need to remove those links and create new links off of the issues in the new project. If that is not what they are can you please share a screenshot?

comments: author: Monica Collins
body: ![PAW Screenshot.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/181463iB8E58BE52BDE5B0A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "PAW Screenshot.jpg")

When the user clicks on this, she is taken to the board in the old project, not the new project. (Interesting though, when I click on my link, it goes to my own board, not the old or new user's board.) How do I change this link?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Monica Collins](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4463076) Thanks for the screenshot. Those links are either an application link or are added through the application navigator. You will need to be a Confluence admin to change them. Information is below:

Highlighting text isn't working SOMETIMES?
Asked by Ashrey:

Hey guys. I created a confluence page for my team to use \& each bullet in the table is a paragraph they should be able to highlight (++by clicking \& dragging OR by double/triple-clicking++) \& ctrl+c to copy the text \& paste into another location. Unfortunately, multiple people have reached out to mention SOME of the sections of the table/comments (never the same ones for each individual, and not always ALL of the comments on the page) aren't able to be highlighted (using either of the two underlined methods above). I even had them share their screen to see the issue \& sure enough, it's like they're not even clicking on that text - there's zero response. I have had this happen once before \& closing/reopening Confluence worked to fix it, but a couple of them have tried this \& it doesn't resolve the issue until they close/reopen multiple times...

If it helps, we're all using Chrome \& we access confluence via a link provided by our employer.. I am also a Space Admin. Is there a fix that will prevent this from continuing \& happening in the future? I don't understand what could cause such an odd but inconvenient issue.. :(

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Expand to the left or right of image
Asked by Addie Hutchins:

Is there way a have an expand to the left or right of a image? When I add a photo and I put it to the left (so I'm able to write to the right of the image) and I do the expand macro it always jumps to below the image. I'd like expand to be NEXT to the image. Does that make sense? Thanks!


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Addie Hutchins](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4697769) the expand macro is not right or left justified. It is always centered on the page. A workaround would be using layouts to create an area of the page where the Expand can sit NEXT to the image.

Example:

![Capture11.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/181227i838FA43147E6E2E3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture11.JPG")

How to add tasks w/o making my bulleted list into an entire task list
Asked by Sofia:

Hi, not sure if this is possible, but I would like to just capture tasks within meeting notes being taken on a confluence page, but when I click the Task button my entire list of bulleted notes turns into a task and Not just the one line item I am trying to make into my task so that it can separately be displayed using the task macro report.

body: Hey [@Sofia](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4740123)

Welcome to the community!

When you are taking notes, if you click on the bullet list button before clicking the task button it should allow you to add a task without converting all other bulleted items.

Conversely when you want to go back in to a bulleted list, click the task list button then the bullet list button. It should give you something like this:

Last Updated then Import (REST API)
Asked by Alex Ward:

Hi All,

I'm looking to identify the best way to import knowledge from confluence to ServiceNow.

My current thoughts on the approach is to make a REST API call to get the content of a space. Based on the response I would then like to identify any content that has been updated that day, then with the ID of those make additional REST API calls to extract the data needed to create a Knowledge article in ServiceNow.

I don't however think I have the right Endpoint I need to perform the initial task of getting any content updated that day.

Does anyone have any tips and or tricks that may assist me?

I been using the Confluence REST API Documentation as a point of reference. I am getting 200 responses and can see content, but this is everything from the space, not just updated today.

Instead of updates you could check revision of page

Or we have content history api as well

However when I am looking at the [CQL field reference](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/cql-field-reference/) page the examples are shown with white space, not %20.

What would be the correct syntax for running these CQL queries?

Using Stiltsoft Table Filters while editing table/page?
Asked by David Allan Neuhaus:

We use Confluence Tables for creation \& tracking QAQC items across different teams and platforms.   
Our QA adds rows to be reviewed weekly with the team that own the component. We go through these, discussing solutions, adding notes and possibly creating a Jira Bug or Improvement Story from in the table. Ok the stage is set!!  

We can filter by component, reviewed/unreviewed, etc when the page is PUBLISHED ONLY. We need to add notes, mark items reviewed, create tickets, etc in real time during the meeting, but the filters do not work in editing mode.

Is there a way to enable filters in edit mode? or is there a better way of doing what i am describing?

Combine "Related Labels" and "Content By Label" macros.
Asked by ??????? ?????????:

Hey!  
We have two macros "Related Labels" and "Content By Label". The first macro takes the page tag and shows other tags that pages with the original tag have (example: Page A with tag A, the macro sees tag A -\> searches for all pages with tag A, and if pages with tag A have other tags, it shows them on the page). The second macro allows you to create a list of pages under a specific tag.  

Is there a macro: which will combine the functions of these two macros, it will collect the tag from the page, search for pages by tag, and if these pages have another tag, it collects all this and displays it on the original page.

Is there such a plugin or an alternative solution how to implement this?

Sadly, there is nothing out of the box for this.

An user macro could be a solution, but this would be hard work and not easy to implement. I wrote a few user macros, but at first sight, I wouldn't know how to implement this.

I've search the [marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/), but with no success.

What's stopping you from using both macros?
