Prevent Confiforms import API for multi-value fields from removing quote-escaped commas on import?
Asked by Wade Meredith:

I am importing a CSV file using the Confiforms import API. When I import field types that are NOT multi-value fields, my strings that are double-quote-escaped and include commas import correctly, but when the target field is a multi-value field, the importer strips out commas from the same double-quote-escaped strings.

String as rendered in the CSV file:

```
"additionalType,alternateName,description,disambiguatingDescription,identifier,image,mainEntityOfPage,name,numberOfBeds,potentialAction,sameAs,subjectOf,typeOfBed,url",
```

String as shown in the import API mapping screen:

```
additionalType,alternateName,description,disambiguatingDescription,identifier,image,mainEntityOfPage,name,numberOfBeds,potentialAction,sameAs,subjectOf,typeOfBed,url
```

Result when mapped to a text field:

```
additionalType,alternateName,description,disambiguatingDescription,identifier,image,mainEntityOfPage,name,potentialAction,sameAs,subjectOf,supersededBy,url
```

Result when mapped to a multi-value field:

```
additionalTypealternateNamedescriptiondisambiguatingDescriptionidentifierimagemainEntityOfPagenamenumberOfBedspotentialActionsameAssubjectOftypeOfBedurl
```

body: Hi

You need to use " as quote character and wrap your multi-select values into quotes ("")

Or consider using Excel files as a source for your data to import

This seems to be a bug in CSV parsing. We will fix it asap and will try to include a fix into <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-Version2.13.9>

comments: author: Wade Meredith
body: Unless I'm misunderstanding the quote level, I am already doing that:

```
"additionalType,alternateName,description,disambiguatingDescription,identifier,image,mainEntityOfPage,name,numberOfBeds,potentialAction,sameAs,subjectOf,typeOfBed,url",
```

But the commas get stripped out when targeting a multi-value field, they don't get stripped targeting a text field.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Are you trying to "import" al these values into ONE field?

I mean.. are these the options of a 1 field?

```
"additionalType,alternateName,description,disambiguatingDescription,identifier,image,mainEntityOfPage,name,numberOfBeds,potentialAction,sameAs,subjectOf,typeOfBed,url"
```


author: Wade Meredith
body: Yes. Those are the choices for the field on a single entry.

Migration from Box to OneDrive URL updates
Asked by sjamisorc:

We are migrating from Box to OneDrive for our corporate file storage and sharing.

Is there a Confluence plugin or way to find Box file URLs on Confluence pages and update them to OneDrive URLs?

I have thousands of Confluence pages in my teams space. We obtained a list of pages with Box URLs using this solution:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/how-do-I-find-all-external-links-in-a-confluence-space/qaq-p/446798>

Repeat Headings in Table of Contents Macro Web Only
Asked by Blake Smith:

I'm seeing a strange "error" where a table of contents macro is appropriately grabbing the headings to populate only in the mobile version and not in the web version. Any suggestions for what could be happening here if I'm doing something wrong? I did not make any adjustments to the ToC macro after creation other than disabling "Printable." And trying to see if minimum heading level made a difference to no avail.

Web Version:

Answers:
author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hello Blake,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The issue that you are facing is a bug that affects Headings added in a table cell.

* [Headings are being duplicated on Table of Content Macro if placed inside a table](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70480)

Please, click on "This affects my team" and also watch so that you are notified when this is fixed in a future release.

The workaround, for now, is to place the heading text outside of the table cell.

Whole CONFLUENCE Site as Read Only To ALL Users
Asked by Roja Gurram:

Hi Everyone,

Currently we are migrating the CONFLUENCE INSTANCE from On-Prem server to AWS so, we have to make the total Confluence Site as READ ONLY ( No Write Access ) to all of the Confluence users. How can we get this please?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Is it possible to translate into different languages the written content in spaces?
Asked by Lado Sheroziia:

Is it possible to translate the content into different languages?

I have already tried to change languages in settings, but it changed only the interface.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Not really, that would need a full-on translation engine to be built into Confluence, and that is not a small task.

If you were on Server, I'd recommend a look at <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211616/scroll-translations-for-confluence> which does do parallel pages in different languages, and can accept attempts at translation from external translation systems. But, I'm afraid I'm not aware of anything like that for Cloud.

Content Report Macro - order of content
Asked by Eve Anij?rv:

Hi,

Looks like the content is shown based on the time a page was last modified. Is there a way to show the list in chronological order based on the time the page was created or alphabetically?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Eve,

I wanted to let you know that we have an existing feature request to add a sorting feature to the Content Report Table macro:

Please feel free to add your vote, and you'll be automatically updated of any progress on this in the future.

According to the comments, some others were able to use the [Content by Label](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-content-by-label-macro/) macro for their needs instead, which does allow sorting. I'm not sure if this would help in your situation, but I wanted to mention it!

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Take care,

We can recommend to use our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

Wrap your Content Report Table macro in the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro and set the required sorting.

when you hover over the column headers, you see they are clickable to order by the column's content, e.g. the page name.

Confluence JIRA integration - custom field have same type but not showing while others can

that might sound weird, but would you be able to test, whether it still doesn't work, when you remove the "_" from the name of the customfield?

Confluence Permissions
Asked by Harry Bob:

Hello,

We've added users to Group A and give them read only access to Space B. I've also added a user as an admin of that Space who is also part of Group A. But User C doesn't seem to have admin access to that space?

Group A has product access to Confluence.

This is how permissions are assigned right? They need product access to be able to access Confluence?

Space permissions are additive. If a user is granted permissions as an individual or as a member of one or more groups, Confluence will combine these permissions together.

So what is your question now?

Review and spellcheck
Asked by syeda_wasi:

Does Confluence come with a pre-integrated grammar/spell check add on similar to Grammarly? I found one called *Spellproof*but its not free (trial version available).

We need review and spellcheck for the tons of editing/documenting work on confluence. Any plans to have it in roadmap in future? Or any free add on that I can use?


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Syeda, welcome to the Community!

Confluence Cloud doesn't have a native spellchecker, as you found by looking for an add-on. We rely on the native browser spellchecker - here's some info about the built-in spellchecker for various browsers:

* [Google Chrome](https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/best-ways-to-spell-check-on-the-go-in-chrome/)
* [Microsoft Edge](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-configure-spell-checker-new-microsoft-edge)
* [Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker)
* [Safari](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/check-spelling-and-grammar-on-mac-mchlp2299/mac)

Do you notice spellcheck working on other sites, for example, here in Community? If not, sounds like the spellcheck in your browser may have become disabled.

Cheers,  
Daniel

Is there a way to automatically update data from one table to another without overwriting history??
Asked by Silvia Beale:

Hello,

I have a table that is updated on a weekly basis on one Confluence page. I would like to have the weekly data that is updated in that table automatically updated into another table on another page without having the previous data overwritten. Essentially, I want the "weekly" data updated into a table so that the historical updates are preserved even once the data from the original table gets overwritten. Is this even possible? To further complicate matters, the formatting of the fields would not be identical between both pages - adjustments would have to be made to the table formatting.

I've reviewed the "Table Excerpt" and "Table Excerpt Include", but, I'm not sure whether those Macros are what I'm looking for.

Any help/advise/suggestions would be appreciated!


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Silvia Beale](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4046175)

The [Table Excerpt and Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros help you to reuse tables. You make changes to the source table and get updates to the same multiple tables across your Confluence instance.

The historical updates are not preserved somewhere besides standard Confluence page versions. So, it's only partly your case.

Expanding / Collapsing an entire table?
Asked by Elie Sarafian:

Is it possible to add the expand macro to an entire table?  
I have 9 tables in a document, 3 tables on one line, which makes it too long \& unorganized. I want to collapse the entire tables so that I can only see their titles, but as soon as I add the macro, it just adds another table underneath it.

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Elie Sarafian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3725510) ,

We can suggest our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

You'll be able to use pagination for long tables to make your Confluence pages more neat and organized.

![Pagination.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/106284iEDEF463F09F20349/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Pagination.png")

Besides the app will help you to filter your tables, make pivots, perform calculations, etc.

And the Expand macro can't divide your tables into several parts (show the headings and collapse the body). You can hide only the whole table.

comments: author: Stiltsoft support
body: And you may also try the [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/table-spreadsheet-83100938.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro - use all the basic Excel-like features right in Confluence: reuse data from other sheets, create pivot tables, use cell formulas, keep your long tables neat and tidy.

Hope it helps!


author: Joshua Sneed Contegix
body: Hi Elie,

You can place the whole table inside the Expand macro, just highlight all rows/columns and copy/paste. You will need to edit the Expand macro's Title to indicate what is within while collapsed. Cheers!
