SourceTree: Push to remote, configured remote is ignored
Asked by max_at:

I am running SourceTree 3.0.1 and facing the issue, that branches that are checked out from remote branches are not selected properly in the push dialog.

We check out branches regularly from remotes for PR checking. Those branches are prefixed with the remote name:

```
.git/config
[branch "remotename-some-branch-name"]
  remote = remotename
  merge = refs/heads/some-branch-name
```

If you click then on Push, *origin* is selected instead of the *remote* that is defined in the git config. This seems to be a bug, as I would expect to see *remote* and the *merge* branch selected properly, similar to my own origin branches.

Not sure where to put this issue, so that it gets addressed by the Source Tree dev team.

Best, Markus

Can't switch to Sourcetree
Asked by eugeniomiro:

Since I updated to 3.0.8 version I started to get blocked when I switch into Sourcetree (ALT+Tab). It only beeps and nothing happens. If I try enough times I might actually be able to finally switch into it allowing me to use the app.

Does anyone else have the same issue?

We are currently rolling out v3.0.9 <http://product-downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/ga/SourceTreeSetup-3.0.9.exe> which fixes this.
SourceTree v2.4.8 is it W10 compatible?
Asked by Colin Edwards:

We have it installed on a windows 7 estate and there is currently a Windows 10 upgrade project. All SW is being investigated to see if it will work on W10.

Thanks

body: Hi Colin,

Yes, that version is compatible with Windows 10. We recommend using a later release though to ensure you have all security fixes and improvements. I recommend watching the Sourcetree Enterprise sub-collection here on Community for updates approved and recommended for deployment.

Fatal: could not read Password for 'https://username@bitbucket.org': Device not configured
Asked by nickfenton18:

I've recently started getting these errors when I try to implement a feature through git flow. Pushing \& pulling to branches in Sourcetree work correctly so I'm certain it's not an issue with my account setup.

I've tried changing my account connection from basic to oAuth and I still get the same error when I try to complete a feature through git flow.

I'm running Sourcetree 3.0.1 on High Sierra 10.13.6. Has anyone else experience this and managed to solve it?

You should NEVER do something like:

<br />

**MY SOLUTION**   
All you have to do is:  

* Go to *Sourcetree -\> Preferences -\> Git*
* You will have the section "Git Version" with 2 options: ++Reset to embedded Git++ and ++Use System Git++
* Sourcetree will use the Embedded git by default.
* Click on "++Use System Git++" and.... Fixed!

Is there any update regarding this? I'm still having the same issue with every single repository. I'm using the command line to finish any flow features so there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

SourceTree - hard to understand the GUI, where is the file history?
Asked by serge:

I installed the SourceTree, but is painful for me, I can't achieve the basic things like search for a file and its history...

Someties the GUI is extremely counter-intuitive.

I have a file, say "Header.cshtml" and I would like to see all the modifications history in that file.

1) How to find the file (where is the file filter??) I can search for "file changes, comments or authors", but where should I search for filenames??

2) How, once the file found, to display its history (I don't even ask how to search through this history by comments)

OAuth is used for REST interactions with remote services. Git actions' authentication, depending on protocol:

* HTTPS - your user/password combination for account
* SSH - whatever keys are loaded by macOS (*ssh-add -l* will answer) and uploaded to the service

Please let us know any differences between the configurations that might exist as well.

Why does sourcetree 3.0.8 hang after it is left in the background for a while
Asked by Tom Tanner:

This is brand new with 3.0.8. I run sourcetree, go and check some stuff in there. then as I do my work it migrates to the background. Eventually I click on the taskbar icon to bring it back to the front. and all I get is a bleep.  

At this point all I can do is right click, end task, and restart it (at which point it invariably decides it needs to spread across half the width of my monitor, which is not helpful).

What is the best practice for cloning multiple items and branches in Sourcetree?
Asked by tobul_eran:

We have multiple projects, and each project can have repositories, with each repository having difference source files... etc...

We need a way to make a clone of all these items without having to go to each single folder/file. Is there an easier way to do this?


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Hi Eran,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Short answer is no, it is not possible. You can get halfway there by using custom actions that run a script that clones all your repositories, but you cannot create the bookmarks in Sourcetree for them, that is a manual process.

Upgrade from 7.11.2 to 8.5.4
Asked by Gurbir Kaur:

We are upgrading from Confluence DC 7.11.2 to 8.5.4 and from SQl 2016 to SQL 2019 .

source 4 nodes running on 7.11.2 and destination 5 nodes to 8.5.4.

We will be restoring Db from 2016 to 2019 with compatibility mode set to 2016. On the destination we will be running 7.11.2 and after DB restore and NAS Sync we will do an upgrade to 8.5.4(by changing the symbolic link of install) followed by re-index.

My question is do shall we do a re-index when we restore onto 7.11.2 or directly perform a re-index after upgrade ?


Answers:
author: Kian Stack Mumo Systems
body: [@Gurbir Kaur](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4912359),

If I'm understanding what you are saying, you should not need to re-index after upgrading the DB, but only after upgrading the instance to the 8.5.4 version.

If you look at the [documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-to-another-database-148867.html) for migrating a DB (not quite the same, but close enough) there is no need to perform a re-index as the index files are kept on the file system.

comments: author: Gurbir Kaur
body: Sorry just to add, we are not only migrating DB but App servers as well from .

I mean the whole env is moving from VMC1 to VMC2 in which it will from SQL 2016 to SQl 2019.

So before upgrading from 7.11.2 to 8.5.4, should be run a re-index from scratch at 7.11.2 ?

Can I use the Legacy Editor when creating a new page in a migrated Cloud space?
Asked by Adriane Hunt:

I'm migrating several Server spaces that use the Legacy Editor. When I create new pages in Cloud for the migrated space, how do I use the Legacy Editor instead of the New Editor?


Answers:
author: BHUSHAN PATIL
body: Hi [@Adriane Hunt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2686464) ,

In Confluence Cloud, the Legacy Editor has been deprecated and replaced by the New Editor. you cannot directly use the Legacy Editor for new pages. after migrating from Confluence Server to Confluence Cloud, your pages will migrate to Cloud in the legacy editor by default. You can then choose to convert these pages to the new editor. if you want to [convert a page from the Legacy Editor to the new editor](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/convert-pages-to-the-new-editor/), follow the steps mention in kb article.

Also, if you feel my input help you please accept the answer.

Swagger API not showing for users without account on Confluence
Asked by Gabriel Domingos de Oliveira:

Hello guys, I'm having a bit of problem when trying to upload my API Documentation on Confluence.  

Using the Swagger Macro and a attachment with a .yml file, I'm able to display my documentation on a Confluence Page. However, when sending the newly created page to someone that doesnt have a Confluence login ( or accessing on anonymous tab ), I am able to see the page but where is supposed to show the Swagger Doc, it shows only a message saying that "You dont have permission".  
I already made both the Space and Page public, but still with the same problem.

Does anyone know any workaround to this?

Users can't add attachments to comments on restricted page
Asked by Gaspard_Delaruelle:

Hi,

I have an issue that I don't know if it is a bug or the normal Confluence behavior. It is strange anyway.  
When I restrict editing access on a Confluence page, users with only viewing access can write a comment but they are not allowed to add a picture inside. On the same page, users with editing rights can attach pictures to their comments.  
Is it possible to authorize pictures in comments for all users whatever the restriction?


Answers:
author: Gareth Blake-Coggins
body: [@Gaspard_Delaruelle](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5430777) this is normal behaviour ( I believe ) what you're describing certainly fits with the permissions schemes and what users can do with "view" and "edit" permissions.

It certainly tracks that viewers can only leave comments and not actually attach any files to the page as this would technically be editing the content on the confluence page.

Confluence DB/Whiteboard - Backup Disabled
Asked by Ralph Casafrancisco:

For the Confluence Database feature in beta, it lists this as something to know.

Certain Confluence features such as Data Residency and Backup and Restore will not be supported for databases during the beta period.

Just wanted to confirm that this just means that the Backup will keep working for Confluence it will not include the Confluence Databases. We just wanted to make sure that the rest of our Confluence instance is safe in case something happens in the beta.

Also does anyone know if these features (DB and Whiteboard) are going to turn into paid features when they launch or will they be included as new functionality included with Confluence Cloud?


Answers:
author: Humashankar VJ
body: Whiteboards are enabled in the Product settings and will then be available globally for the site, e.g. for all Spaces on the site.

Can I use SQL in the Table Transformer macro to filter for status macro values?
Asked by Ted Nienstedt:

I'm using Page Properties and Page Property Report macros to make customer reports of pages using specific Page Properties. In one of my reports I'd like to include only Page Properties that contain a column called Status that contains a Status Macro with the value of "High". I'm using the Table Transformer macro to provide SQL filter. I tried the following, but didn't work: "SELECT \* FROM T\* WHERE 'Status' \~ "High".

I'm aware of the ability to filter based on an ID provided in Page Properties macros, but I'm looking for a finer degree of filtering beyond the simple example given above, such as with multiple columns (eg, Status combined with Importance)


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Ted Nienstedt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3935422) ,

Please try the following SQL statement:

SELECT \* FROM T\* WHERE 'Status' **LIKE** "High"

It should be working fine.


author: Ted Nienstedt
body: I found that **::string** was necessary as follows

SELECT \* FROM T\* WHERE 'Status'**::string** LIKE "High"

comments: author: Stiltsoft support
body: No, the **::string**part is not necessary for the WHERE clause.

If the issue is that you don't get any errors but you just don't get any matching rows, it means that there are no such rows indeed.

You've mentioned that you used the "Status Macro with the value of "High" - try to filter your table by "HIGH" and not "High". It seems that the macro statuses are written in capital letters.

And the tilde "\~" has a kind of a similar meaning as a simple LIKE (that is often considered to be an SQL-standard), your first query should be also recognized correctly.

Page Properties Report not showing Column Data within Table
Asked by Aimee Quinn:

I have a Page Properties table with 10+ columns; one column in the middle will not populate any data in the Page Properties Report. Any ideas why? I have copied/pasted the column heading into the Options of the Page Properties Report so there's no typos. Name: Milestones \& Key Dates


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: HI [@Aimee Quinn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5203471)

It's very likely that tables within cells are not supported by the macro because it might break the report. The page properties feature is a rather classic feature of Confluence and works best with the more basic type of macros. It's a bit of a trial-and-error situation to identify what exactly works and what does not.

Best, Max

comments: author: Aimee Quinn
body: Thanks, Max. I just realized nothing is populating in that column, even if it's not a table. I have that column named in the Columns to Show Options of the Page Properties report. Any idea why it wouldn't work?

body: Sometimes special html symbols like "\&" can be processed incorrectly. If you change the column name as "Milestones and Key Dates", are there any changes?

Is there an interactive response form table/page option available?
Asked by Emilee Webber:

Hello,

I have a need to create a form on my confluence page for other users to input their requests...used as an intake form for work from my team. I have created this form successfully. I have created a child page and used the "Forms - Responses Table" macro, and am able to see the submitted form. However, I need to be able to update the information initially submitted from the form ...for example update the "unassigned" to a member on my team, update the status from "new" to another status of the request, etc.

These fields in the form are a dropdown menu.

We also need to be able to update a notes field from the initial submitted form, to be able to add details on the work we've done.

This field is a free-form field in the form.

As it currently is, the responses table is view-only.

Is there something within the form fields that I need to change to allow fields to be updated even after it's been submitted? Or is there a different type of a table that I need to use that can receive submitted form data and be able to be updated as needed?

Each time we update the submitted form data, an email should be triggered to both the form originator as well as the form assignee.

We currently use this functionality on our SharePoint site, but we're trying to move over to use Confluence instead.

Thanks.

Emilee Webber
