Is it possible to POST the Description of a Trello card using a Butler button and Post to?
Asked by Cody L:

Hello,  

In the past of I have been able to successfully pass Custom Field data from a Trello card to an external system using a URL string and passing the Custom Fields as parameters within the URL.  

Ex. [https://mysystem.com/api/data?variable1=Custom_Field1\&variable2=Custom_Field2](https://mysystem.com/api/data?variable1=Custom_Field1&variable2=Custom_Field2)...  

Is there a way though to pass the Description of a card? Perhaps using the Payload of the Butler Post to functionality.

Power-up function stopped BOX and Slack, ENT Trello
Asked by Mark Eden:

Using the BOX and Slack power-ups. When installed and until yesterday they worked as expected.

I am not aware of any changes.Today my favorite functions have stopped working.

When attempting to attach a document in BOX to a Card, after selecting the doc to attach, I click on the "Choose-1" button and nothing happens in the browser and the attachment doesn't appear.

Also, when trying to use the Slack power-up to "Send via Direct Message", I click on the option to "Send via.." and nothing happens in the browser.

Using Fiddler to look at the HTTP traffic, I see the Fetch Command for the request go to the Server and then the Server responds with a "HTTP500 - Server Error". I am thinking that the Server Error may be caused by something being broken in the Fetch such as Token or something..

Anyone have a clue to offer about what to do next? Ever have a power-up cease to function? How did you restore the function?

Thank you so much for your help!


Answers:
author: Ryan
body: Hi Mark,

One thing that could impact this is browser extensions - if you have added any new ones recently or these have been updated, this can impact the performance of Power-ups. Could you try disabling these to see your two Power-ups work again?

If not, I'd recommend writing to support who can troubleshoot more specifically with your account. Here is where you can contact support: <https://trello.com/contact>.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Label descriptions not displaying
Asked by Andrew_Welsh:

Hi,

My label descriptions are no longer displaying when I'm looking at the board. If I open a card the description is displayed along the top as expected.  

I used to use "card colours for trello" but that has since stopped working as intended so I disabled and added descriptions to all the labels. It's been working for the past 2 weeks, suddenly they don't appear. Can only see the label colour

Anyone else having this issue or have any suggestions?  

Thanks in advance,

Andy

Livesearch Doesn't restrict to page
Asked by Mona Fahimi:

Hi,

Can you please help me. I would like to limit my search to a page and the child pages under it. But I can't get it to work. Do you have an example?

Best,

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

The [Livesearch macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/livesearch-macro-163415902.html) can't be configured to search in a page and its children, but you can use the [pagetree search macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-tree-search-macro-163938353.html) instead.

Cheers,  
Matthias.

author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Mona Fahimi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4647515) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Supplementing to Matthias's answer, If you apply a specific label to your parent page and child pages, you should be able to limit the search to pages with that label using **Restrict to label(s)**parameter available in the Livesearch macro. You can try that and see if it works for you.

CONFIFORMS: How to setup correctly an autolink to a local folder/file
Asked by Sopaboba:

Hi experts

I am trying to setup an autolink field type in my Confiforms, using the following syntaxis:

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170666iAF78F65344F85537/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

This is the configuration of the field, as simple as this.

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170667iCFD5BDFF95F9D4E4/image-dimensions/495x367?v=v2 "image.png")

As a result, I have the following TableView:

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170664iFFACB2307BA9C6D5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

If I copy and paste the link straight to a new explorer windows, it works perfectly and the result is this, which is precisely what I want to get:

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170665i5A56DD142B383C8C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

But, when I click on the link, this is what is rendering:

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170663iA52A804B1F6DE78F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

What am I doing wrong? I think it can be something related to the way it shows the link, because when I setup i.e. "<http://www.bing.com>" works fine and follows the link.

I have tried both Edge and Firefox and the result is the same.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to create a matrix comparison with a contextual split pane?
Asked by Daniel R S Vianna:

I'm looking to create a table that when you click on the item, it loads stuff on a right panel

So for example, click on product one, then it opens product one details on the right side only with the details of that item

![table.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170652i86593F51B837EE07/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "table.png")


Answers:
author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: Hi [@Daniel R S Vianna](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2284927),

here's an approach which could work:

1. Create a page which contains the table you have on the left side of your page.
2. Create a page for every content you want to have on the right side.
   * Use a two-column layout.
   * Use an [include page macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-include-page-macro/) to include the page from step 1 in the left column.
   * Create your content in the right column
3. After creating all the pages, edit the page from step 1 and add the link to all the pages.

Does that achieve what you'd like to do?

Cheers,

How can I get my excel format to look the same in Confluence as it does outside of Confluence?
Asked by Cliff Skinner:

My each line with a bullet point is running all together and creating one line wrapping..

Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: If I understand what you are asking. It looks like all of the bulleted text pasted as a single line. What you need to do is the insert line returns (ENTER key, at the end of each bulleted line. Then you will need to format as bullet list, and delete out the original bullets.

What has happened is it has interpretted all of the content in the cell as paragraph text.

Is there a way to embed a list on a Confluence page which groups/individuals have restrictions?
Asked by Matt Williams:

Is there a way to list on a Confluence page which groups / individuals have view/edit privileges? I am thinking that I want a banner on each page that lists that. I can see the info (well, some of it) under the restrictions, but I want to embed that in the page.


Answers:
author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: Hi [@Matt Williams](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4577855)

I don't know of a built-in way to do that, but if you don't shy away from some development yourself, you could develop a macro using [Atlassian Forge](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/getting-started/).

You could develop a macro which doesn't need any configuration. Once it's on a page, it can call two REST APIs to retrieve the required data:

* [Get Space permissions](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-space/#api-wiki-rest-api-space-spacekey-get)  
  When you retrieve the details for a space, you can add an expand parameter to also get the permissions.
* [Get Page restrictions](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content-restrictions/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-restriction-get)  
  This endpoint gives you the restrictions for a page.

Now, you have all the data and can visualize this as you need it.

Cheers,  
Matthias.

Why am I receiving a disconnect message?
Asked by Lisa Gudenkauf:

Confluence is stalling and giving the message, "We've lost our connection to you, so we've disabled editing to prevent any issues. You'll be able to edit once we reconnect. Trying to reconnect." I'm hoping to understand why this might be happening and what I can do.

I have seen such issues sort out on it own after a while, which may arise due to network glitches or due to changes in your company managed network firewall rules/proxies. As mentioned by Bill you can submit a support ticket if you continue to face this issue even after some time.

* Cloud server loading
* Your Internet connection to the server

The only "solution" may be to just wait an hour or two see if the isses resolve themselves. If it continues, you need to file a support ticket.

Confluence highlight of text mode have got broken in editor toolbar
Asked by Oleksandr Yashchenko:

1. Confluence Server version 7.13.0

2. STR: Open any document in Confluence for editing, write a few words.  
Select part of such texts with special text mode (I?ve discovered it with monospace mode, but subscript/superscript/strikethrough does as well) using button labelled A-with-circle-and-strikethrough.  
One may also check mode presence in Confluence Source Code Editor (\<\> button) - with monospace, the text is surrounded with \<code\>\</code\>.

3. Expected: when the editing cursor is among the text with special mode, the button is highlighted, showing presence of a special mode.

4. Actual: the button remains not highlighted. As result, one shall provide special efforts to view what text is tagged monospace![LC9JTmHgGL.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170582i77E0A996C540A532/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "LC9JTmHgGL.png")

I have the same version and can confirm the functionality you are describing. I do not remember it showing any of those types highlighted in the editor toolbar in the past.

Can you have an internal page search bar?
Asked by Elizabeth Robinson:

Within a page can you search, not just generally. Like if all the content is collapsed so you cannot control-f can you insert an internal page search bar.


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Elizabeth Robinson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4646824) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

On Cloud, the [Livesearch macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-livesearch-macro/) allows you to add a search box to a Confluence page. When users enter a search term into the search box, Confluence will dynamically display matching results as they type. You can explore that to see if it meets your requirement.

comments: author: Elizabeth Robinson
body: Hi Kishan. I mean a search bar that searches specifically in the page itslef, much like control-f would do but with all the stuff collapsed it still can search. It currently searches pages which contain that content which is not what I want, I want to search SOLELY in the specific page itself

author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Elizabeth Robinson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4646824) hm you are right, on Confluence Cloud, currently, there is no option to expand all expand macros on a page so browser search ie control + F doesn't work. However there's a workaround I have found which you can try as mentioned [on this link](https://medium.com/@timcameron/expanding-all-in-confluence-db0d3cd711f0), please check if that works for you.

PDF export are not using the customized CSS, header and footer
Asked by Peter N?rregaard Rasmussen:

For about a year ago I created a stylesheet and added customized header and footer for the PDF export, but now it isn't working anymore. this means that if I do the export from Space settings --\> manage space --\> Export space then the header and footer are shown but the stylesheet isn't used. But if I make the export from the three dot on a page, then none of it are working.


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _K15t_
body: Hi [@Peter N?rregaard Rasmussen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1296399),

I think this is quite similar to [a question I've answered a couple of days ago](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-insert-html-table-in-header-for-exporting-to-PDF/qaq-p/1858798). If you look into [the official documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/customize-exports-to-pdf/) you will find:
> PDF customization only applies to space exports (not single page exports via **Tools** \> **Export to PDF**)

As to why the stylesheet isn't applied when you're doing a space export, have you verified that you are using the correct selectors? As also suggested in the other thread, I can recommend taking a look at our app [Scroll PDF Exporter for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) if you want more flexibility around designing and exporting Confluence pages to PDF.

Hope this helps! :)

So, I would say, kindly contact your organization project sponsor to approve the app.

Wer hat Erfahrungen zur Companion App in der Cloud mit Anwendung unter Citrix? Fehlerf?lle ..
Asked by Gaby:

Hallo Zusammen,

Wir sind nun in der CLOUD mit dem Produkt Confluence Premium aktiv und m?chten nat?rlich auch f?r alle Seiten-Anh?nge die Companion App nutzen und anwenden. Mit der Servervariante war das kein Thema. Word/Excel/PPT Dateien konnten problemlos ?ber die App im Confluence ohne dass ein weiterer Speicher Ort erforderlich war, ge?ndert werden.

In der Cloud - ?ber Google Chrom aufgerufen in der Citrixumgebung - funktioniert das zwar mittlerweile (Download der App), jedoch kommt es zu einer bisher unl?s- und analysierbaren Situation/en:

Ein Anhang wird von einem User ?ber die Companian App in Confluence ge?ffnet und ge?ndert (zu, Beispiel ein Word-Date). Ein anderer User arbeitet nicht in der Cloud, sondern bearbeitet gerade eine eigene (also andere) Worddatei. Die Anwendung Word zeigt dem anderen Benutzer jetzt nicht mehr die eigene, sondern die gerade aktive Word-Datei des Cloud-Benutzers. Dies ist kein Einzelfall, sondern bereits ?fter passiert.

Wir haben keine L?sung, vermuten allerdings, dass der Fehler oder die Korrekturm?glichkeit/en in Citrix begr?ndet sind. Wir m?chten die Companion App nutzen, jedoch unter Ausschluss der VG-Situation,

Was ist hier passiert? Wie k?nnen wir das analysieren? Wer arbeitet mit der Companion App unter Citrix und hat diese Situation bereits selbst gehabt? Was ist zu tun? Woran liegt es?

Wir haben einen externen Dienstleister, der Citrix betreut und Systeme verwaltet und verwaltet. Cloudsysteme verwalten wir selbst.

How can i choose what instace of reuseable conent should be used by Excerpt Include macro?


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@a_rozhkov](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4646454) ,

The Excerpt Include macro for Confluence Cloud was modified by the Atlassian team and now you can choose not only the Page name but the name of the Excerpt as well. So, you need to give two different names for your Excerpts located on the same page.

If the tags of your question are messed up and you have Server/Data Center with an old version of the standard macro or you simply need a more advanced version of the macro for Cloud, we can suggest trying our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app and its [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros.

You'll be able to collect multiple excerpts (text, tables with many rows, etc.) from the same page, page and child pages, page and all descendants, and pages with specific labels (works for Cloud/Server/Data Center).
