Custom Field (list-type) API value
Asked by Bruna Lourenco Ferrari:

Guys, I am trying to get my custom field (dropdown list) through this API call: [https://api.trello.com/1/boards/boardID/cards/?fields=name\&customFieldItems=true\&key=\&token=](https://api.trello.com/1/boards/boardID/cards/?fields=name&customFieldItems=true&key=&token=) but it didn't bring the values, only brings values that are number. I was also trying to match with this API call: [https://api.trello.com/1/boards/boardID/customfields/?key=\&token=](https://api.trello.com/1/boards/boardID/customfields/?key=&token=) but I couldn't find an ID that I could match both API calls, could you help me?

Is it possible to get the dropdown list values?

author: David Bakkers
body: Hello [@Bruna Lourenco Ferrari](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4518071)

Welcome to the community

Please refer to [this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/Is-there-any-way-on-api-to-get-values-of-dropdown-type-custom/qaq-p/1770317), where that question has been asked and answered previously.

Essentially, those 'numbers' being returned are IDs, and you have to use the [Get a Custom Field](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/rest/api-group-customfields/#api-customfields-id-get) endpoint to 'translate' those ID numbers back into their actual values.
Universal Cover Images?
Asked by Cara Wood:

We would like to use cover images to help us visually categorize cards. Is there a way to load our custom cover images so they are available to select as cover images on cards? Right now it seems we need to attach the correct cover to each individual card. Thanks in advance!

Try it : do a lookup to card with a link to the cover in description. **Important** the link must be public for it to work. Attach the link to the card.
with a Trello Business paid account, can I have an unlimited # of free observers?
Asked by K'Leigh Searcy:

Currently my team copies my board and then makes changes to their own boards. But more often than not, they accidentally make changes to my board and I'm constantly having to change/fix it. Can an observer make a copy of a board? Are they limited to a # of boards?


Answers:
author: Michael Pryor
body: No, whether someone is an Observer or not doesn't make them a free user in a paid workspace.

You could make the board public?

Or you could use this Power-Up: <https://trello.com/power-ups/60d93bb780ee244d5d2b1edd>

Or you could not give access to the board to those people and instead use Reports to send them info: <https://help.trello.com/article/1192-creating-reports-with-butler>

Email Notifications
Asked by Lynn Bring:

We want to be able to (1) tag a card "complete", (2) move to "done" (3) send a communication to the person who is now able to complete their task because I have "completed" a card.

essentially, it's a workflow but I cannot find anything that SHOWS/TELLS you HOW to implement. We need instructions, can you please direct us? We want our board to work like a Gantt chart.

Thanks, Lynn

Assuming you have the dependency task (card) linked with members assigned to the card, here is a suggested command
> when the due date is marked as complete in a card with a due date in list "Doing", move the card to the top of list "Done", find the first card linked in the attachments, and post comment "@card Dependency Task is completed"

Above use comment to notify the users. If you want email, getting the email will require more work.

I have deployed a technique with Contalist using Group and using comment action to trigger email notification.

Try it.

comments: author: Lynn Bring
body: No, this does not work, we tried it. We want to use email communication and it needs to be automatic when a task is completed.

Can you provide us with the email implementation process, please?


author: milynnus
body: [@Lynn Bring](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4517803)

Here a demo video. There are probably other ways to do it.

The approach uses the comment to message (email) automation in Contalist (Power Up). The people to notified is in a Notification Group. This is independent of the card Members but you can activate the same people in that group.

<https://www.loom.com/share/ef9b57a0772a476283e320ecadba6871>

The email sent uses a message template.

In the example above, the comment is activated on linked card. Nothing prevent you from activating the trigger on the completed card. It depends on now you would like to use this feature.

The command is almost identical except that you use \`@notification\` instead
> when the due date is marked as complete in a card with a due date in list "Doing", move the card to the top of list "Done", find the first card linked in the attachments, and post comment "@notification This task has been completed {triggercardname}"

worktime and incoicing
Asked by Kersti P?rnpuu:

Hi, our company is using trello cards at the moment, We would like to understand how we can combine two other programs: working time follow and invoicing, what will be connected to Trello also? At the moment we are wasting time to fulfill other system. Tricky part is that in trello one card several different workers will make actions, not only one person in one card. I hope you understand me :) If not, then let me know please. I will try to explain better.


Answers:
author: marin
body: Hi Kersti, depends on how you want to do the invoicing really. For time tracking different people on the cards, I can recommend [assista power-up,](https://trello.com/power-ups/5d08f7411eb5f14a8d144acb/assista-time-tracking-bot) which will allow you to make detailed reports on how much time each person spent working on a specific card. (Disclaimer: I am part of the assista team). It also allows you to export CVS reports which can be used for invoicing.

Let me know if that answers your question. I can help you set it up further if you want to explore that path.
Image link generated cannot be embedded to google sheets
Asked by Rjay de Torres:

So I use Trello for work everyday. I always use images uploaded to Trello cards and embed them to spreadsheets. I get the image link by either right-clicking and copying the image address or I open the image in a new tab and copy the url. It always worked until today, when i try to do that, a different link to the image is generated and it cant be embedded to sheets anymore. I tried it on other boards and seems like it only happens to this one board. I use Chrome but it is the same as when I use other browsers.

Will Confluence develop Smart Chips / Snippets further ?
Asked by Dahmomic:

I've seen this article;  
<https://ux-news.com/google-docs-will-soon-let-you-embed-other-apps-into-your-documents/>

Basically, Google Docs will support previews for Figma, Miro files and more. They call this feature "Smart Chips".  

I think Confluence could develop this kind of integration further, like it does when linking a Google Drive video, but for other collaboration platforms.  

For our team, it would mean that we can work even more on Confluence as we would be able to pull live previews from other platforms. Figma designs, Github roadmaps, you name it. It adds so much value.

How do I share private blog posts to other private spaces?
Asked by Sam Judson:

I have written content for a small, private audience in our private space. Some of the context, by exception, is applicable to other audiences. These teams also run a private into which I'd like to be able to share (or identify individual users to share with).

Is seems like this isn't possible. Can anyone help me?


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Sam Judson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5058280) Welcome to the Atlassian Community. Blog posts are shareable just like pages. However, you need to make sure the user you are sharing with has permissions to access the Space that the blog is hosted in first. Since permissions are inherited, you need access to the Space Level first, and then any parent pages that the blog sits under.

If you cannot adjust access, you should ask your admin to look into this for you.

Answers:

Confluence Cloud Page Version Retention
Asked by Keith Kennedy:

All - previous DC and Server Confluence versions there was a way to set a "retention" policy for page versions. Does that ability still exist in Confluence Cloud?

Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Keith Kennedy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1145024) I cannot say why (although I can guess) but retention rules apply only to Server and Data Center. Data in Confluence Cloud is perpetual and requires manual archiving or deletion when you no longer want/need the data.

body: Andy - yes, and no. Not much of a responses but THANKS .


author: Darin - Opus Guard
body: [@Keith Kennedy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1145024) From what I've seen through the Rest API documentation on Confluence Cloud, retention is at the page level, not version. Setting a retention policy around specific versions of pages does not appear to be possible in the Rest API and I suspect not possible in the product in an automated way (since automation is built on the Rest API generally).

If you are looking for an overall retention policy manager, check out [Content Retention Manager for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1233769/content-retention-manager-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) in the Atlassian Marketplace. It may help in other ways like a global retention service, compliance to ISO/SOC2, or even just as a space/clutter saver for your Confluence space. Let me know if I can help.

How do I create a custom Confluence Jira issue macro renderer?
Asked by Josh I:

Confluence has a great built-in macro for inserting a list of Jira issues on a page, but it is not very flexible in how it renders the list. I would like to be able to arbitrarily customize the renderer to be able to show the list in other ways. For example, maybe I want to highlight issues that are past due or I want to show each issue in a more compact "card" style instead of all of the data in a single row.

I looked in the marketplace and didn't find anything that does quite what I want, so I suspect that I'll need to make a custom add-on. Ideally, I would love to start with the code for the built-in Jira macro and just customize the renderer, but I haven't been able to find the code.

Does anyone know where I can get the code for the built-in renderer, or know of an open-sourced add-on I could build on so I don't have to re-invent from scratch? Or is there a marketplace add-on I overlooked that does what I want? Or have ideas for a different strategy for customizing the layout?


Answers:
author: Srinatha T
body: Hi [@Josh I](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5057918) ,

That macro is close to what I need, but has a couple of problems:

2. It doesn't seem to be developed or supported since 2021.

But thanks for the suggestion!

Escaping Directives in Confiforms
Asked by Okkan Coban:

Hi everyone,

i need a command for escaping directives like in vlt ('\\'). I want to use the Confiforms ifttt-macro and create a new page. No big deal, but i also want to give directives without rendering to a value.

For exampel:

Form field defnition (simple Text): Field name=myField.

Input into 'myField'='Hello World'

I want to give the directive \[entry.myField.escapeJSON\] as '\[entry.myField.escapeJSON\]' and not getting render into 'Hello World'

I tried a lot like '\<', '{', '\\' etc. but nothing fits.

I can use a workaround with dummy-fields, but a common command would be great.

Thanks

comments: author: Okkan Coban
body: No malfunction. escapeJSON was just an exampel and is not nesassary.

In my case:

I got a form (form A), witch creates a page, witch contains an other form (form B) but same form field names and i want to give directives for the created page.

An exampel for my case:

I want to create placeholder in 'form B' for values of 'form B' but i cant give directives like \[entry.id\] or \[entry.myField\] without put the value of the 'form a'.

i would like to write something in 'form A' like '\\\[entry.myField\]' to get '\[entry.myField\]' in 'form b'. but my result is '\\ HelloWorld'.

Configuring the URLs in the server confluence
Asked by SaravanaKumar:

We are planning to migrate it into the cloud. We come through this situation where we find a URL in a parent confluence server page that links with the child page in the server. On migration do these links point to the same server child page or will it be reconfigured with the cloud child page link?  

If that still points to the same server page link after migration, How to configure it with the cloud page's URL?


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@SaravanaKumar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5049911) ,

it depends how you added links in your pages. If you used builtin feature "links", that link uses BASE URL so it will be automatically adapted on cloud based on the new URL.

If you added links as text, you need to change manually them.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
