How to make a PR without write permission to the repository?
Asked by J?r?me Pouiller:

I really don't understand how Bitbucket works.

Let say, there is a repo A. I forked it to create a repo B.

How can I ask to the maintainer of repo A to pull my work (useless to say that I don't have write access repo A)?

For now, I use "git request-pull" for my pull-request, but maintainers would like a more integrated way to that.

In "create a pull-request", Bitbucket does not allow me to set the source URL. It makes no sense. What is the purpose of using git (a distributed SCM), if all the branches must exist in the public repository?


Answers:
author: Tyler T
body: If Repo A allows forks, you should be able to create a pull request from Repo B *against*Repo A.

This documentation has more information: <https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/fork-a-repository/>

comments: author: J?r?me Pouiller
body: I see. Thank you, Tyler.

My fork (repo B) already exists. I guess there is no way to declare it as a fork of repo A? I have to save my branches somewhere, remove my repo B, fork the repo A, then push all my branches to the newly created repo?


author: Tyler T
body: A fork is a bit different than a cloned copy of a repository. When used in apps like Bitbucket and Github, forks establish a relationship between repositories. When that relationship is established, one can create pull requests from a forked repo back to the original repo.

This can be done on the command line using \`git remote\` but won't appear the same when using the app.

This article explains it quite nicely: <https://tharis63.medium.com/git-fork-vs-git-clone-8aad0c0e38c0>

Enforce use of Jira story references in commit or PR
Asked by duncan.wraight:

Hi folks

We recently set up CircleCI's Jira notification tool. This allows us to track our CI/CD pipelines on each team's Jira Deployment page.

To facilitate this, we have to include a Jira story ID (e.g. "TO-128") in our PR titles or in a commit (merge commits excluded).

Is there anything BitBucket can do to enforce this? Either on commit messages - a Git hook for instance - or in PR titles?

Many thanks


Answers:
author: Theodora Boudale
body: Hi Duncan and welcome to the community.

It is possible to enforce this for commit messages (not for PRs I'm afraid).

If you have integrated your Bitbucket workspace with a JIRA instance, there will be a link for each workspace repo, which you can view from **Repository settings** \> **Links**.

In the same page, there is an option **Require issue keys in commit messages** which you can enable for each repo. Is this something that works for you?

Kind regards,  
Theodora

What is the benefit of enabling 2FA on both my Atlassian Account and my Bitbucket Account?
Asked by Anthony Lhuede:

I currently have 2FA enabled on both my Atlassian ID and my Bitbucket. It seems a bit overkill to require this level of security.

It is specifically annoying as logging in requires 2 codes to be entered, one of which can be auto-populated with 1Password yet the second one (bitbucket) has to be done manually.

Is there any benefit to enabling 2FA on my bitbucket account, or should I just enable SSH keys and leave 2FA disabled and just keep it on my Atlassian ID?


Answers:
author: Gonchik Tsymzhitov
body: Hi [@Anthony Lhuede](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4244655) !

I do personally, on BB use SSH keys, leave 2FA disabled, and use 2FA for Atlassian ID

Because sometimes to me it was other kill.

In any situation I use ssh keys for git (gitlab, github, bitbucket )

Benefits are security :)

Setting up Bitbucket and Repositories for an enterprise
Asked by Patricia Campos:

Hi!

Our company currently does not have any source code management. Source code and config files are usually just stored in the developer's local storage and when they need to share it to someone else, we just send them via email.

We want to use BitBucket and setup source code management with it. We will start with about 20 "sets" for programs using different languages and deployed to different subsidiaries.

I am hoping for anyone to point us out to the right direction in setting up the structure, controls, access, etc.

-Pat


Answers:
author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Patricia Campos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3985217)

Surely you would need to have a Premium plan for all the features you are looking for.

Lets start with the structure

One workspace for each organization, have separate teams their respective projects and repositories created in those projects, and permissions for the users (access) can be maintained there.

Depending on the access level you want your users to setup, it can be configured at the project level and repo level.

Thanks,  
Pramodh

Gathering the Confluence User Activity Stream
Asked by Greg Bammel:

I'm trying to pull a report on the activity of user's in Confluence. Viewing the activity stream seems like the most logical approach though I'm very open to another approach.

Based upon this article, (Below)

<https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/consuming-an-activity-streams-feed/#filtering>

I should be able to do something similar to

<https://domain.atlassian.net/activity?streams=user+IS+>\<ID\>

This gives me all of the Jira activity but not Confluence. I've tried similar combinations but cannot get it to return the data I'd expect such as:  
<https://domain.atlassian.net/activity?streams=user+IS+>\<ID\>\&wiki@confluence+IS+page:update

or adding any of the following:

<https://domain.atlassian.net/activity?streams=user+IS+>\<ID\>\&streamsourceProduct+IS+confluence

<https://domain.atlassian.net/activity?wiki@confluence=user+IS+>\<ID\>

I'm out of ideas, any suggestions?

Template Variables Stopped Working
Asked by Nick Mauck:

I have created several templates across multiple spaces that contain variables in list form. Some are one word, some are a line of text, some have color circled emojis for criticality, etc. They all just stopped working, the created from template button opens the template but all the variable fields no longer have drop-down menus. It's just the name of the template like so (name). Working with my organizations internal Confluence help desk, they are telling me the following, which makes zero sense to me.

"After more testing and talking with Atlassian, it looks like having a space in the title of the variable is most likely the issue. It can cause issues with the system code for the variable, which is most likely why you then can't just copy the content to another template and instead would have to start fresh. So, if you create a new template and add variables with o one variables, it should work."

So I guess my question is do variables have to be one word, no spaces, etc? Are there any constraints on the text/spaces/characters for variables?


Answers:
author: Mizuho Kinay
body: Hi there,

I have similar issue but maybe a bit different.

For me, when the variable is in a expand macro, then the variable doesn't appear when I applied the template.

If the variable is outside of a expand macro, then it works as expected.


author: Craig Nodwell
body: Hi [@Nick Mauck](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5159695) welcome to the community. I cannot find any documentation that says there can't be spaces in a variable name however .... It is pretty common practice in programming to not include a space in a variable name so maybe it's just a miss on the docs. I would stay with the common practice of never placing a space in a variable name and avoid any potential problems downstream when you go to use that variable. I'd stay away from special chars as well and use plain text maybe even adopt all lower case ... that part is up to you but I would also suggest to follow some sort of internal set standard.

comments: author: Zack Garner
body: [@Craig Nodwell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3973516) ,

To tack onto what [@Nick Mauck](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5159695) was saying, specifically a space in the variable name produces no dropdown menu when the create from template macro is used. Special characters inside of the list selection for a variable within the template creation allow the dropdown menu but none of the selections are rendered for create from template macro. However, when you perform the action outside of the preview, nothing renders correctly. A friend of mine found this \[CONFSERVER-82493\] which was created. It was created 2 hours ago so it hasn't been looked into further yet.

How to move a row of a table to another one?
Asked by Hannes Stehle:

Hello Confluence Community,

I currently have little experience with confluence and would like your help. I want to move a row from one table to another table on another page. To do this, the row number should be entered in a text field and the action applied via a button. This should automatically move the selected row to the other table. Is it possible to implement this in the confluence cloud version with macros or other functions? Does anyone have a tip or an idea how I can solve this problem?

The macro in the picture was just an example to visualize my problem.

You could always simply copy \& paste the row in question, but I'm sure you already know that and it's not an option for you since your question is very specific.

How do I add create and edit fields that create links to different sites?
Asked by Erik Stensland:

Hey everyone,  

Sorry for the vague question, I'm new to confluence and am not entirely sure how to word my question.   
I'm currently working on creating a template for our partner management team, with fields that need to be filled out by the stakeholder, and link to various things like profiles in our CRM tool.  
The page template I selected has these light gray fields with italicized text, and when I click them I can add links etc.  
However, I'm unable to edit the text within the original field, and even copy and pasting them tends to mess with their format (such as making them bold, and then I can't edit them to remove the bold feature).   
Here's an example of the field: ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/7131/X9ambi.png)

The text you are seeing is instructional text that has been placed on the page template you are using. You should be able to click it which will highlight it and then just type to replace it with normal text.

Superadmin Account Being Deactivated

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Is this account managed by your organisation, or is it an Atlassian account that you own?

You probably need to talk to your other admins about who is "deactivating" it and why, but before I can recommend that, I'd like to know what type of account it is, and what "deactivation" looks like for you.

comments: author: joosiang13
body: Hi,

I am the super admin, and there is no other admin in the space.

Thanks


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Atlassian-speak does not have a term for "super admin", we need to know what that means in Atlassian terms. Confluence admin? Site admin? Organisation admin? Something else? Jira system admin or Jira admin? etc

We also need to know what type of account it is. If you're on server, is it an internal Confluence account, or hooked up to an external directory? If you're on Cloud, is it an Atlassian account, a Google account, or one provided by Atlassian access?


author: joosiang13

It should be confluence admin. I created a space and I am the admin for this space, but somehow when I login using my Google account, it show "you do not have any permission".


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ok, this means that one of your site admins is deactivating your account, or another confluence admin has removed your permissions to the space.

body: Hi,

If I am the site admin also, how can I get back my account and manage to see all the space details?

Welcome to the community! Can you reach out to an administrator of your Atlassian Cloud products (**Organization admin**) and find out why you're user account has been deactivated?

It's not a problem that you are the only admin for a particular space. By the way, there is no such thing as a "superadmin". :) Every other Confluence **product admin** (so to speak, one level above a space administrator) can make themself a space administrator for a space through the global administration.
