Is it possible to create a Confluence page by uploading a markdown file?
Asked by Corey:

I used the Obsidian note-taking app for creating product requirements. The files the app produces are .md (markdown). I like the content I've created and the organization between files, but my team uses Confluence and won't switch to Obsidian.

I want to avoid having to copy/paste the content of the markdown files into Confluence pages to share with my teammates because there are a lot of files. Uploading the files as attachments to a page is not useful because my teammates will have to open files individually.

Is it possible to create a Confluence page from a markdown file?

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Yes, it is possible, but you would need an app in order to do it. There are multiple ones in the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=markdown). A couple of our engineering teams is doing this and we are using the Render Markdown app together with a script that extract the .md file in GitHub and generates pages for each repository.

Problem with users unable to access our project in Confluence
Asked by Kristin Durkin:

Hello,

I'm a web content strategist at a university, currently working without any web developer (he left to take another job). Right now I'm the only person providing support for hundreds of CMS users on campus We use Jira to operate a service desk where users submit tickets to request help. We use Confluence to house a CMS Knowledge Base where we've created articles and documentation on how to use our CMS.

Here is my question - is there an automated way to give CMS users access to the Knowledge Base? Or do I have to send individual email invitations?

It turns out that, apparently, many people cannot access it. From what I can determine from the list of users in Atlassian, they are all employees whose CMS user accounts were created AFTER we launched our Service Desk in Jira and our Knowledge Base in Confluence, in August 2019. They don't appear in our Atlassian user list - almost everyone was added on the same day, Aug. 4, 2019.

Our web developer would know how users were originally added, but he's gone and I can't ask him. I checked with our IT department, and they have no dealings with Jira or Confluence.

I've included a screenshot of the error message one of my coworkers received, and a screenshot of the Space Permissions. I think we have the correct setting turned on, where "any active user can view pages in this space."

Please let me know if there's a way to add users in some sort of batch, or if I need to invited them individually.

Again, I would ask a developer take care of this if we had one.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Active user = a user with paid confluence license.

The KB is accessible usually for all the customers of the service project you created and via the portal, if of course you have set it up that way. Can you confirm that she has or not a valid confluence license? If not, can you confirm that she is a customer on that project? If not, try adding her, and then have her try from the portal to search for an article.

In order for all your users to have access:

* You can make your confluence space public, available to all users on the **internet**.
* Add guests (5 per paid license) to a specific space
* Make some pages as public links

Populating Confluence Fields from Jira
Asked by Craig.Harley:

Hi,

I am trying to populate some fields in page properties directly from Jira using the Jira Macro. This does work and populates the required field, however is there a way to disable the heading info that is also brought through, as I just want the content of the Jira field and not both the header and the content.

For example

settings as follows

![jira plugin settings.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/280492i9ECC77A609FE152F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "jira plugin settings.PNG")

Unfortunately there isn't a way or a setting to disable the column header. This is a table and in order to distinguish the columns, the header should be present. You can create a new suggestion here <https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?filter=98690>

body: Hi [@Craig.Harley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4615003)

Maybe the Jira Issues macro is not the right tool, can you give us a bit more context of what you're trying to achieve? Do you want a list of issues or just one issue at a time? Anything that can help :)

comments: author: Craig.Harley
body: for each row, i want to populate a field with a single field from a single JIRA issue

I have already been able to populate a field in each row with a link to a unique JIRA issue

I want to be able to be more granular rather than just a link to the JIRA issue

Drop Downs for Page Properties
Asked by Craig.Harley:

Hi,

I am looking for advice on whether there is a plugin that I could use to add a drop down box (containing a defined dataset) to a page properties field, where i could set the option to select one or many items from the drop down. Any guidance would be appreciated


Answers:
author: Anastasia Bek _Stiltsoft_
body: Hi [@Craig.Harley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4615003)

I suggest trying out our [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_id=1216111&utm_content=drop_downs_for_PPR). It is a bundle of different macros, among others, and there is an opportunity for you to add status drop-downs, timestamps, and date pickers. Once inserted on the page, statuses and dates can be changed directly in the view mode. It also works nicely with the page properties and page properties report, meaning once content is changed, it is updated consistently everywhere.

You can try the app for free to see if it fits your use cases well.

Blog macro - comments and reactions
Asked by Lucas Smalley:

We're using the Blog macro to insert our blogs as a news / update feed on a central page frequently visited by the entire organization. We want to see more engagement with this news feed, but it seems like the Blog macro does not support reactions or commenting directly on the macro feed. Instead, the user has to click the Blog article title to navigate to that page specifically to add comments or reactions. We want to remove this click-thru friction.

Does anyone have an App suggestion or any other solution that would solve this problem?

Admin approval when trying to add Confluence Cloud In MS Teams
Asked by Bhabani Shankar:

I am trying to test Confluence Cloud Functionality in MS Teams.

But when I'm trying to add the app its asking for Admin Approval.

Does this mean - the Teams admin should give admin consent while allowing the app from Teams Admin Center?

Can't we user user consent option so that it can use Individual User's consent when someone tries to add the app?

![Admn Approal_ConfluenceCloud.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/280480iE315D5F1B322C01A/image-dimensions/474x539?v=v2 "Admn Approal_ConfluenceCloud.PNG")

author: Matt
body: Yes, this is referring to approval for the Confluence app to be used within Teams. You will have to work with your M365 admin for configuration on the Microsoft side.

body: Yes the app is added under permission policy in Teams admin center, that's why I am able to see the option to add it in Teams.

But when I try to add it in Teams group/channel it asks for admin approval. I was under the impression that we can grant user consent as well when someone tries to add the app.

Is Confluence being turned off in Feb 2024?
Asked by William Mitchell:

Atlassian will end support for Confluence Server on **February 15, 2024** , but Confluence Data Center will still be available.

Does this mean we have to migrate our website away, just looking for some more details here.


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: No, you can continue to use whatever version of server you are on come that date. Just there will be no more updates or support, for it or for any third-party plugins.

We are facing a similar choice as well. Our plan is to upgrade to the last LTS version of server available by that date, and make sure all our plugins are updated. Then we will decide how to move forward. We may just freeze our configuration at that point and save a ton of money until we are forced to move to Data Center. Considering we are way behind updating now, we could easily buy ourselves 2 years easy.

Now if you are on Cloud, this is an non-issue for you.


author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: [@William Mitchell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4862482) If you are working with a Confluence site under the URL *<https://somethinghere.atlassian.net>* that means that your are using Confluence **Cloud**. If so, then this announcement has zero effect on you.

Cloud is **not** affected! It is the Confluence Server (self-hosted) product line that reaches end of support.

And if you are on Cloud, there is no such thing as "version". There is one version, the one you're using.

How to Change the Layout of a Private Trello Table View
Asked by john_crick:

Greetings!

Reaching out to this team for guidance on how to change the columns visible in a Trello table view. (We are using the premium version.)

I created a separate Board, "Contracts", as well as a Private Workspace Table View for that Board. Added to the Card template for this Board are two fields, Parent Name, and Parent ID. I would like these two fields to be visible in the newly created Table view.

Is this possible and, if so, how do I edit this private table to add these fields as columns?

Thank you for your help!

How can I make the closest checklist item due date the due date of the card?

Answers:

See my latest reply to [@Federico Grego](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5156263)

With Space Butler you can use any card attributes even it is not currently available as a variable

<https://deta.space/discovery/@milynnus/space_butler>


author: milynnus
body: [@Federico Grego](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5156263)

There is automation that allows you to use a custom field date to update a checklist item. However, there is no native functions between automation that will tell you which item has a date that is closest to the card due date.

In creating this app

<https://deta.space/discovery/@milynnus/taco_bump>

I store away the difference between the item due dates to be used to adjust the item due dates using another date field. But the magic was done with code.

comments: author: Federico Grego
body: Thanks. I think what I was trying to ask is simpler: can the card due date update itself automatically to equal the date of the closest checklist item date?


author: milynnus
body: [@Federico Grego](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5156263)

I don't think there is a way to determined which is the item. There is a badge that has the earliest due date of checklist item. That might help if it can be exposed via api. Let me check.


author: milynnus
body: [@Federico Grego](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5156263)

Tested this an it works with a card button calling an existing service in Space Butler and it will set the due date to the earliest item that is due.

post to url "<https://space_butler-1-f9...6.deta.app/get_card>" with payload "{ \\"card_id\\" : \\"{cardidlong}\\"}", post comment "{httpresponse.json.badges.checkItemsEarliestDue}", set custom field "CF_Date" to "{httpresponse.json.badges.checkItemsEarliestDue}", and set due date on the date in custom field "CF_Date"

The actual implementation will depend on your workflow.

comments: author: Steven Burns
body: Thank you for pointing out the shortcut. The organization I am with is beginning to question the long-term use of Trello after recent updates and changes without the ability to return to use processes before the updates were applied. It seems as if there is little effort being made in this area and it is more an attitude of changes being made because someone thinks its better, and just deal with it. If this continues I am not sure how long we will be able work in this environment before finding another solution.
