Jira table within confluence page - how to show strikethrough on Done tickets like Issue Navigator?
Asked by Anita Baird (NIR):

When viewing jira tickets within jira Issue Navigator it helpfully strikes through tickets that are done/closed. Which is extremely useful on linked tickets.

When i embed a jira query/table into a confluence page I can configure to display the fields needed to display the list of linked tickets, but I cannot at a glance know the status of these tickets.

Is there a way to have the strikethrough feature for done/closed tickets?

I am assuming that you are adding issue via Jira issue macro. If that is the case you can easily add the status as one of the columns so you can see the issues status.

Creating a Jira ticket from confluence the field Fixversion will not allow me to set it
Asked by Butch_Richards:

still getting an issue if I hard code it or use a field error is "

I haven't tested this, but I believe you need to have a function name for this, like "add"

```
"fixVersions": [
{"add": 
{"name": [entry.FixVersion.Label]}]
```

Play with it, I can't confirm my syntax is correct.

Live edit mode / Keep macros interactive
Asked by Lukas Gotter _ Meetical:

Hi! I've noticed in the Confluence [Live-Edit mode (EAP)](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-and-collaborate-on-live-edit-pages-in-confluence/) that macros also stay interactive. Which is amazing. Are there any plans to make macros interactive in the standard edit mode?

Thanks!

Automated or Manual Trigger. Is it possible to move a child page to the bottom of the parent list?
Asked by Mary Agueros:

I have parent page with child pages for each month. At a minimum, I would like to add a Manual Trigger button to each page which would move the page to the bottom of the parent list when clicked.

The manual trigger would be used at the end of the month. For example at the end of June the manual trigger would be used to move the June child page below the December child page. Now when the user navigates to the parent page, which is configured as a TOC, the July page is the first child page.

If it is possible to configure an automated rule which would move the June child page to the bottom COB 06/30/2024 that would be preferred. The rule would have to take into account that each month does not end on the 30th day of the month.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: I think you just need to be clever in how you name them, and then set the sort order appropriately.

If you name dated pages like this using "yyyy-mm-dd Rest of title" kind of format, the alphabetical sort should list them in the correct order.

I have a similar setup where I have the current Month's page just titled "Minutes" Then at the end of each month, that page gets renamed to "yyyy-mm Minutes" and a new "Minutes" page is created from a template. The renamed page gets added to the end of my Child Pages macro.

Thank you Shawn for the suggestion. I think I can come up with a similar workaround.

What happened to the Wikifier RT?
Asked by Michelle Rau HP:

For several years, I used Graham Hannington's website "Wikifier RT" to convert Confluence format to wiki markup. It was incredibly useful especially when using the Reporting series of nested macros. Now the site just returns errors. Does anyone know what happened, and is there an alternative that's live?

I suspect that Amnet, the ISP that hosted the site, did some housecleaning. I haven't been an Amnet customer for years.

I only just discovered the site was down today. I hadn't used Wikifier RT for a while. I Googled for "Wikifier RT", thinking perhaps I'd entered the wrong URL, and found this "What happened ... ?" page.

Yes.

Today, I resurrected Wikifier RT as a GitHub Pages site:

Can Scaffolding / Live Template templates be used across wiki spaces?
Asked by Michelle Rau HP:

Hi, it's been awhile since I've worked with Scaffolding / Live Templates. What I want to know is, can a user in wiki space B create a page in their space using a Live Template in wiki space A? (in Confluence server, not cloud)

(With the built-in Confluence templates, it is possible to start a new page by referencing a template in a different space.)

Our use case is, we have a central group who would like to maintain a series of "standards" templates that can be used by different development teams. The development teams will probably want to keep their customized standards pages in their own wiki spaces, but the centralized group will manage the template itself.

body: Hi [@Michelle Rau HP](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1142241)

Yes, It is possible to use Live templates from one space to be used in another space.

You can choose the space from which to load the templates as shown in the screenshot below.

![live-template-from-different-space.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/330584i6A11E81D6FCDF68E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "live-template-from-different-space.png")

Thanks

comments: author: alejandra.rosales
body: Hi [@Michelle Rau HP](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1142241)

Recapping what Lava mentioned, it is indeed possible to use Live Templates from one space in another space. Here are the steps in more detail:

When adding the macro, you can select the **source space** in the *Space* field. Additionally, in the *Template Name* field, you can choose whether you want to use a global template, a space template, or even another page as your Live Template.

For more detailed information, you can refer to this documentation: <https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFC/pages/477470864/Live+Template>

I hope this information has been helpful! Let us know if you have more questions about it.

Is there a decision report macro in Confluence Server?
Asked by Elly Hayakawa:

I've been trying to find a macro in confluence server that aggregates decisions made in a meeting into a table and came across the decision report macro that was added to confluence cloud (explanation here: [Decision report macro now available to aggregate a... - Atlassian Community](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Decision-report-macro-now-available-to-aggregate-all-your/ba-p/1521548)) I was wondering if there is anything similar in confluence server that could be applied and used in the same way.

I know there is the DACI decisions and regular decision blueprint templates but I just want to aggregate all decisions written in plain text, into a table that exists on that same page. In other words, if I have a page with 10 decisions on it, at the top of that same page I would like to see a summary table of all of the decisions made. Is there any automated way of doing this without manually copy and pasting blocks of text/using the table excerpt macro/or page properties report macro? I simply want something like the decision report macro in the server.

Adding a column to Jira issue/filter macro
Asked by MudCo:

Hi There,

So I recently discovered Jira Issue/Filter macro and wanted to create a dynamic data table. I used a JQL in the search and choose the columns I needed to display. Once published we got all the 20 issues/entries required in a table like form. Our requirement now is in the output table, we need a column called "Comments" and we need to be able to update them manually against each of the entry. Is this possible? I did see a few examples here on the forum but it was for auto-populating from another table against a type of status. Here we every issue will need manually added comments are not auto-pick from another table using table transformer. I am comparing this as I was not able to find anything close to my requirement here.![snip1.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/330139i0DD752416B6D5B96/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "snip1.jpg")

It also may be (SHOULD BE) a subject to an approval process (legal, financial, technical, security).
