Tasks are not on profile
Asked by Kevin Gillen:

I'm using Confluence and JIRA cloud and just started adding tasks. I went to the "Profile" page to see all tasks that were created, but there's no "Task" option on the profile page as it shows in the other support articles. What am I missing?

I am not on the Confluence Team, but I will try to help.

When you mentioned the other support articles, would you mind providing some links?

It's possible that you are using one edition (Cloud or Server) or versions of Confluence but the articles are for another other edition or version.

I hope that helps!

body: Martyn -

Thanks. I see it now, and I swear I looked there repeatedly yesterday ... :)


author: Ida Sa
body: hi, I know this is an old thread but I wanted to tell you what the issue was so that others can be helped by this.

The issue that you saw was because of the product instance that you were in at the time that you viewed the profle.

In the Jira product the profile looks like this:

![Jira_profile.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/242414i1F8436F9F8BED3DB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Jira_profile.png")

In the confluence product the profile looks like this:

![confluence profle.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/242413i3E561BC950C05426/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence profle.png")

This makes sense because your tasks are primarily used as a notification in Confluence for a particular user. So this is very well designed.

Also you will note that the gearbox settings are different between the two products as well, as they should be. (note: profile settings, see screenshots above, are also unique between the two products)

Hope this helps

Confluence Sever: Importing a space backup
Asked by Jeffrey Bistrong:

I would like to confirm that below link will not overwrite any existing spaces if I import a space backup into confluence server

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restoring-a-space-152036.html>


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Jeffrey,

(Based on your previous response:) If the import says it will overwrite the instance, ***DO NOT IMPORT IT!*** This likely means the export was a site export, which will overwrite everything on import.

There are two types of XML exports you can create in Confluence:

* [**Space export**](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml-724764824.html)
* [**Site export**](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-a-site-backup-724765526.html)

If you attempt to import a space, it will either import successfully or fail with a warning that another space with the same key exists. If you attempt to import a site, however, it will warn you that you are about to overwrite the site, then it will overwrite the site.

If the client wants a copy of a single KB, I recommend exporting the page to a PDF. You can also export a single space for them to import (both processes can be found at the "Space export" link above).

I hope this helps!  
-- Zak


author: Marty
body: Hi Jeffrey,

I am not on the Confluence Team, but I will try to help.

In general, if you try and import a space with a spaceKey MYKEY it will attempt to create that space. From memory if there is an existing space with that key then it will fail, I don't think it will overwrite it, but don't take that as 100%.

Can you test the import in a test environment?

I hope that helps!

comments: author: Jeffrey Bistrong
body: Hi Martyn,

I would test but I am in a pickle. We have a confluence backup that we exported from our cloud version of confluence. One of our clients, wants a copy of our KB from our confluence instance and we gave them the backup.

They came back to me and said they can't import it due to the fact that it will overwrite their confluence instance. I just want to confirm that is not the case and send them the proper documentation.

Retrieving Latest Data from Inside a Table or Repeating Section
Asked by Ian Duffy:

Hi,

Basically I am trying to do as per this tutorial: <https://docs.servicerocket.com/scaffolding/user-guide/intermediate-tutorials/retrieving-data-from-inside-a-table-or-repeating-section>

But instead of getting item 0 (from the bottom of the list), I want to get the top or the latest item in the list. I do NOT know how many items will be in the list so can not use a fixed value. Is there a variable that accomplishes this in Confluence?

It seems a simple question but I can't find the answer documented anywhere.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Ameer Syed
body: Try below to get the last/latest row in the table

data:\<table name\> \> collection:last \> data:\<column name\>


author: Ian Duffy
body: Hi guys,

Does anyone else have any ideas on this?

This problem blocks a large chunk of work we were planning. It is such a frustrating simple requirement I can't believe a solution doesn't exist!

Thanks in advance for any help.


author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Ian,

I'm not familiar with this plugin, but had a thought. Putting it here in case it helps: Typically when there's array of objects starting with 0 in a programming language, you can usually access the last item with "-1". This may be following the same logic.

Does -1 work to pick the last object?

-- Zak

comments: author: Ian Duffy
body: Hi Zak,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! That was one thing I hadn't tried yet.

Sadly it didn't work though...

I also tried size, length, max, top, but none work.

The other thing I tried is changing the "Order" property of the "Repeating Data" macro. Sadly this just changes the order the items are drawn, **not** the order they are stored so 0 is still the oldest data.

Summary: There must be a variable counting the number of Data blocks added here but really can't find it in any documentation.


author: Marty
body: Hi Ian,

I am not on the Confluence team but I will try to help.

It sounds like what you are trying to do is create a Dynamic Table? <https://docs.servicerocket.com/scaffolding/user-guide/basic-tutorials/creating-a-dynamic-table>

comments: author: Ian Duffy
body: Thanks for your reply.

Yes: either a dynamic table or repeating data block, I guess it works the same.

The key part is I then need to use GetData macro to get data from the fields. As per the original tutorial I linked, it is easy to get the "last item" (item 0) from the table. But I want to get the "first item" or the most recently added. I don't know how many rows are in the table (or blocks in the repeating macro) so it must be a variable rather than a fixed value.

![](https://docs.servicerocket.com/scaffolding/files/9175329/9273462/1/1408952663806/get-data+repeat.png)

So summary: I want to do the above but "name = repeat.size.repeatText".

Any further help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Images pasted into Confluence getting resized
Asked by Bret Hekking:

My display is set to 125%, (2560x1440 resolution). I have a 200px by 200px image on my desktop, and when I paste or add it to my Confluence page, it scales up to 250px by 250px, even though the size button says it's 200px and it's displayed in its 'Original size'. Both are incorrect.

Why is Confluence scaling my image up? It appears as though my display scaling is being applied to the image as it's uploaded, but that doesn't make sense. I want my 200x200 image to appear in Confluence as a 200x200 image.

Step-By-Step To Do List
Asked by Tim Lang:

I have a project where I have lots of steps that have to be done in a particular sequence. Is there a way to create a to-do list where when I do one task, I can have the next one show up?

Or perhaps can I create some kind of nested to-do list where I can organize steps based on when they need to be completed?


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Tim,

Confluence doesn't have the functionality to make new tasks appear when others are checked. However, you may find some of the "Project" templates and Blueprints useful. For example, there is a default [Project Plan Template](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/project-plan-template-957141211.html) in Confluence, and there's also a [Blueprints for Project Management](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216698/blueprints-for-project-management?hosting=server&tab=overview) third-party app.

I hope this helps!

Trying To Style Multiple Expand Macros Using CSS Style Sheet Adaptavist
Asked by Bhr?in Brannick:

Hi there,

I have multiple Expand macros on confluence that render different content. Detail below

\<Click Me To See Test Scenarios\>

\<Click Me To See Customer Issues\>

\<ETC\>

I want to style them slightly differently using this module <https://www.adaptavist.com/doco/display/CFP/Style+Sheet>

However, I'm unable to uniquely target different expand modules as the html is pretty much the same plus the IDs generated are dynamic, see below

\<div id="expander-1827806837" class="expand-container"\>  
\<div id="expander-control-1827806837" class="expand-control"\>  
\<span class="expand-control-icon icon"\>\&nbsp;\</span\>  
\<span class="expand-control-text"\>Click Me To See Test Scenarios\</span\>  
\</div\>  
\<div id="expander-content-1827806837" class="expand-content expand-hidden"\>  
\<p\>\<br\>\</p\>  
\</div\>  
\</div\>

Any ideas on how to get me around this? Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Bhr?in,

If the expand macros stay in a certain order, and you know the order, you can use the :[nth-of-type](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:nth-of-type) pseudo-class. If this doesn't fit your use case, you might find another pseudo-class useful. Here's a full list of all the pseudo-classes: [Pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Introduction_to_CSS/Pseudo-classes_and_pseudo-elements).

How to remove Chart from Table macro
Asked by Greg Mitchell:

Hello,

I accidentally clicked the \`Create Chart From Table" button on a page that is heavily used by my team. This page has a table with an index linking to other pages, doesn't have numbers or data that can be charted, so having a chart on this page does not make sense.

How can I remove this macro from the page, or just remove the chart filter boxes and drop down selections without removing all of the info in the table?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Greg,

I'm not familiar with the "Create Chart From Table" functionality, but you should be able to revert the page to before any changes were made by going to ![ellipsis](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/47771i9786FAF36776BDAB/image-dimensions/22x12?v=v2 "ellipsis") \> **Restore to last published version** , or by restoring a version in the page's [history](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-history-and-page-comparison-views-139379.html).

Is there a way to see/display anchors when not in edit mode?
Asked by Anja Bergau:

Anchors are used heavily on the pages in our Confluence page but not all editors have access to all pages. This makes linking to anchors tricky when the section that needs lining to is on a page that the specific editor has no edit rights to in order to check the anchor name.

Is there a way to display the anchors that a specific page as without having to be in edit mode?


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Anja,

I understand you'd like to see where the anchors on a page are located without opening the editor.

The best way to do this is to go to ![ellipsis](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/47770i39EF404E886D9FFD/image-dimensions/28x15?v=v2 "ellipsis") \> **View source** from the page. This will open a new window that essentially shows a snapshot of the page content as it shows in the editor (without the ability to edit it). Even users who don't have edit permission should be able to do this.

I hope this helps!  
-- Zak


author: Hector
body: Hi [@Anja Bergau](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2808289) ,

Anchors are by default invisible to the user, so the only workaround I could come up is to install a browser plug-in/extension/add-on to show them. There are few available depending the web browser editors uses.

Hope it helps.

NEED example of a user macro that print a Javascript variable into the body
Asked by MediosPublicitarios SA:

I can't print in the body with "`document.write()`" or "`innerHTML`" when I'm using a variable (With out the variable works). Any idea how to do it?


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Medios,

If I understand correctly, you're wanting to create a user macro within Confluence that has javascript within it that returns variable values as content or body of the macro itself when its placed within a Confluence page.

To understand a bit more on what you're attempting to do exactly, could you please share the user macro you have so far that's not returning the variable? This would allow us to examine and test the macro to see if this is possible and where the issue may be.

We look forward to your response so we may help to find a solution for you.

Regards,

comments: author: Zim
body: Not Medios, but I have the same problem. Doing something like this:

```
var icebreaker = [
"Do you love working from home or would you rather be in the office? Is there a balance of both that you like best?",
"What?s the hardest part about working virtually for you? The easiest?",
"Where do you work most frequently from at home? Your office? Your kitchen table? The backyard? Your bed?",
]
var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * icebreaker.length);
```

*** ** * ** ***

I tried console.log and document.write, as well as the innerHTML trick from Matt Walsh above. I cannot get the variable (which would be icebreaker\[random\])

edit: With innerHTML in place, I also tried

```
<p id="pageIdDisplayer"></p>
```

When the code works, nothing displays and the page is blank.

edit2: I also tried this macro code

```
{html:script=^icebreak.html}{html}
```

As noted here: <https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HTML/pages/6422530/Html-bobswift+macro>

Which only shows the macro code without any formatting, whether or not there is an attached html file.

Adding Fuzzy Logic to Livesearch?
Asked by Aaron Mina:

Hello,

I was wondering if fuzzy logic will be added to the Livesearch macro?

I was actually surprised that it wasn't. I looked at the Search macro and that looks like it has fuzzy logic built in, but it doesn't seem to work for what I am trying to do. If the Search had a way to filter on Labels like Livesearch, that might work.


Answers:

The global search does but you can not refine the search here and this is similar to the Search macro because you can't limit the "Label" like you can do in Livesearch:

Hi ,   

In new editor experience , How to add sub action task ?

Currently, the new Fabric Editor deals differently with this type of lists. In Cloud they are actions, not checklist items.

As a temporary workaround, you could use the **Legacy** **editor template**for Confluence Cloud. When you create a new page, you can select this option.

With this in mind, we created this report:

**[CONFCLOUD-65755 \| Create indentend action lists](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65755)**
