Search a Confluence Page based on Headers with Livesearch Macro
Asked by majd makhoul:

Hi,

I have a page called A, and one if its child pages is called B. Inside B, there are many header1 titles. Also, both pages A and B have a label/tag called C.

I added a live search macro in A and specified the label as C so the search works only in the space of A and its children pages. The problem is, if I try to search for a specific header1 title inside B, it will not return any results. From my understanding, the livesearch macro will search based on the page name itself, and doesn't support "header" searching.

Is there an option to make it search for headers as well?

Thanks

You probably figured it out already (it was submitted in April..)  

Yes, lifesearch macro searches content of the pages as well (not just page titles).

Regarding specific headers - they are part of the page content, as well as any other text which is not headers. So your search should produce results.  

Thanks

Create Jira Issue from Confluence without showing link and with a default template
Asked by majd makhoul:

Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding creating Jira issue in confluence by highlighting some text:

1) After creating the Jira, the link will show up next to the words I highlighted. Is there a way to turn off this feature? I don't want to see the links inside the page.

2) Is there a way to create the Jira from a default template with predefined values for PROJECT/TYPE/FixVersion/etc.? Also, would it be possible to somehow parse the current page name and add it into the summary/title of the Jira?  

3) Is there a way to add the highlighted text directly into the description instead of the summary?

4) Is it possible to add an assignee option when creating the Jira?

Thanks

body: [@majd makhoul](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5107401)

1. You would have to remove the link in edit mode of Confluence to remove the link.
2. You can create a link in Confluence that would have predefined information in the URL and then the user could complete remaining fields. This would not be done through the highlighting but would be an actual HTML link on a confluence page. <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-create-issues-using-direct-html-links-in-jira-server-159474.html>
3. Nope
4. You would have to use a HTML link and not the highlighted text.

comments: author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@majd makhoul](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5107401) Unfortunately there is not a setting to change number 1.


author: majd makhoul
body: Thanks Brant. Regarding (1), I was wondering if there's a setting to change so the Jira links are not added automatically inside the page.

There may be many users who will create Jiras using this method, and it would take a lot of effort to edit the page and delete the links each time someone creates a Jira.

Gantt Chart Macro not displaying result

I have my table added already, I have tried to follow all the instructions on here [Chart Macro - Gantt Chart - Not Displaying Chart/N...

can't scroll on expanable section headers
Asked by Chance Johnson:

I am using confluence on Chrome. One of my section headers/tabs on the top of the page has too many links to fit on the viewable page space but it is frozen (i.e. can't scroll) and I can't see/access the links that are not viewable. Is there a way to fix this?

Currently, I have to zoom to 50% or less on the chrome page in order to see all of the links on the expandable section header.


Answers:
author: Dan Breyen
body: Hi [@Chance Johnson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5201986) welcome. Have you tried a different browser, different workstation, different user or different PC (mac vs windows) to see if this happens to multiple people/users? Are you on the latest version of Chrome? I know you're on server, but I don't have exact steps to try it on my side to see if I could reproduce (I'm on the cloud but it might happen on both sides).

I took a look in JIRA and couldn't find anything related to that. If you can reproduce it, I'd suggest opening a support ticket through Atlassian to have them take a look at it.

Editing Tables after Merging using Table Excerpt Include
Asked by Alex:

Hello All,

I have created a table on a main page which merges all the content from tables in child pages \& descendants.

I can view all the content fine - but I was wondering if there was a way I could edit the content from the main page instead of having to navigate to the child pages and editing the tables there?

For example, I have created a tables for all our projects with the columns "Questions" and "Answers". Some of the "Answers" cells are blank as we have not got them yet. I can view all the content in the main page, but I would like to be able to edit the table on the main page too instead of having to navigate to the child pages.

This would also be helpful as we have custom tasks lists which would be easier to use if I can figure this out.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi Alex,

Indeed the [Table Excerpt Include/Table Excerpt](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/how-to-use-table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-macros-42241623.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros are a more advanced version of the standard Page Properties Report/Page Properties and Excerpt Include/Excerpt macros. So, you can collect (reuse) your tables but only the source tables can be changed (and not the master table).

If you use some additional apps (for example, the [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=stiltsoft-article&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_id=1216111) - it's also our app along with the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence add-on), you will be able to switch statuses from the master table too.

Versionning in confluence cloud
Asked by Isabelle Metoevi:

Hello, is there a notion of version in confluence cloud


Answers:
author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: On Cloud, every site is using the same (latest) version of Confluence. The only exception if you entered some EAP (early access program) which may cause that non-publicly-available features are already available in your site.

The best resources to understand what's going on:

1. [Confluence Cloud roadmap](https://www.atlassian.com/roadmap/cloud?selectedProduct=confluence&) - it is for end-users, captures the big stories.
2. [Confluence Cloud changelog](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/changelog/) - it is for app-developers, captures small changes that may not even be directly visible for the user, but it is more precise and granular than the previous.


author: Dan Breyen
body: If you're referring to the version of a page in Confluence, each page has a page history that you can select of the kabob (3 dots) for each page. That will tell you the revision history of each page.


author: Robert Wen_ReleaseTEAM_
body: Hello [@Isabelle Metoevi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5201902) ! Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There is some notion of the changes that get released and when. You could subscribe to Release Notes to see when upcoming changes will get to Confluence Cloud.

Changes identified in Release Notes are released continuously unless you opt your products to be updated on monthly Release Tracks. If you're on a Release Track, the updates occur generally on the second Tuesday of the month. Note that Release Tracks are only available if you're on the Premium version of Confluence.

Difference between public link and anonymous access?
Asked by Silvana Bilic Michaelsen:

What is the difference, if any, between sharing a page as a public link and allowing anonymous acces on a space (with view only privileges)? I understand, of course, that anonymous access will apply to the entire space while public link shares only that single page.

What are pros and cons of this 2 ways of sharing content publicly?


Answers:
author: Steffen Burzlaff _K15t_
body: Hey [@Silvana Bilic Michaelsen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4229257)

there are some differences between the two. First the one you already pointed out that with public links you can share just one page instead of the entire space.

Another one is that if you view a page with public links the most of the Confluence UI (navigation etc.) is not displayed. This makes the reading experience a lot better.

But with public links some macros are not working e.g. all third-party. If you page contains a lot of these you rather not want to share it with public links.  

As Atlassian states it:
> Functionality that's unavailable in the view-only version:
>
> * Edit the page.
> * Comment inline or on the page.
> * View inline or page comments.
> * See the Confluence navigation.
> * See the page tree and page breadcrumbs.
>
> Most macros, including those that contain data outside of the shared page and all third party macros.

<br />

You can read more about which functionalities are available and which are not in the [Atlassian documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/share-content-externally-with-public-links/).

So depending on your use case on what you want to share and what that person should be able to consume, you should go with the one or the other. But maybe there are even other possibilities. If you let me know your use case I might can help you find the best solution (at least the one I am aware of).  

Cheers,  
Steffen

comments: author: Silvana Bilic Michaelsen
body: Thank you, Steffen for tasking time to answer my question!

I am just considering setting up a simple FAQ-like page that I can share with a broad audience. Not searchable, but accessible having the link.

Regards,  
Silvana


author: Steffen Burzlaff _K15t_
body: Then I'd say that the public link might be the better solution for you. The basic macros usually used on an FAQs page are available to the readers and you only would need to share that once page instead of the whole space.  

Cheers,

How to split labels from the output of ConfiForms Field that is in [A,B,C,D] format
Asked by yogesh bhatt:

I'd like to be able to select 1 or more metrics from a multiselect confiform dropdown and when the form creates a jira story, it should automatically add the corresponding label for each of the metrics selected to the label field in the story.

I am using "Smart Multi-select" field type in ConfiForms field.

The output from that is in \[A,B,C,D\] format. JIRA considers it one label rather than seperate. I want these 4 labels gets created? how to do that I used array keyword as well.

{ "fields": { "project": {"key": "SATS"}, "summary": "\[entry.Summary.escapeJSON\]", "description": "Issue: \[entry.Issue.escapeJSON\] \\r\\n \\r\\n Requester: \[entry.Requestor.escapeJSON\] \\r\\n \\r\\n Tech contact: \[entry.Techcontact.escapeJSON\] \\r\\n \\r\\n Metric(s): \[entry.Metrics.LinkedMetricSep.escapeJSON\] \\r\\n \\r\\n Metric Label(s): \[entry.Metrics.MetricLabelSep.escapeJSON\] \\r\\n \\r\\n Benefits: \[entry.Benefits.escapeJSON\] \\r\\n \\r\\n Workaround: \[entry.Current.escapeJSON\] \\r\\n \\r\\n To Be: \[entry.ToBe.escapeJSON\] \\r\\n \\r\\n Additional Comments: \[entry.Comments.escapeJSON\]", "labels": \["Dynamos"\], "customfield_10153": "\[entry.Summary.escapeJSON\]", "duedate": "\[entry.DeployDate.jiraDate\]", "reporter": {"name": "\[entry._user\]"}, "issuetype": {"id": "5"}, } }

Allow users to manage versions and releases
Asked by KB:

Hi, I want to enable some team members to add/edit/release versions in Jira but not grant them project admin permissions. How can I do that?

Thanks a lot!


Answers:
author: Sushant Verma
body: Hi [@KB](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5066870)   

Welcome to the community!  

Right now, I think there is no way to do that in JIRA cloud. User need to have the project admin permission to manage the release.  

If you are on DC or Server, You can add-on [Version Manager for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214929/version-manager-for-jira), which provides a new permission Manage Versions. By assigning users or roles like Release Managers or Product Owners to this permission they can create and release versions without need for Administer Project permission. See [screenshots and description here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214929/version-manager-for-jira).  

For Cloud, we have a open request for this, You can vote for this feature. Below are the requests.

If I am not wrong, to set a FixVersion, you can grant them the resolve issue permission. and to manage versions overall, your users will require edit issues permissions (ie to add issues to versions) but to create a version, the user will need project admin permission.

Pagetree - how to setup non @root or @self
Asked by Wayne Jolly:

Hope someone can assist.

I have created a pagetree and wish it to begin from a specific page, which has 12 child pages.

If I type in the master page to start with, it lists 10 of the child pages, and that's all.

Child pages are each month 2023

Creating in the new editor. The old Editor works fine

pagetree when searching for root page lists only the last 10 pages that were edited.

Images all gone after moving from one Subtask page to an invidual page
Asked by sophie.cai:

I am expericing frustrating editor experience when one Subtask page is not handling multiple screenshots well, I moved the page to another individual page by cut and paste.

However all 20 important screenshots are gone after moving the cut part.

The frustrating thing is Subtask page doesn't have a history option, once this type of page got saved there is no way back and there is no history view button that I can pick the version I want.

Can anyone tell me where to find the history versions in a subtask page, because I believe I did save in the middle of editing, great thanks.  
This is one of the 'not found error' of an image, ![Screenshot 2023-04-21 152122.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/253153i065C6AD7DBD1143A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2023-04-21 152122.jpg")


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@sophie.cai](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4660798)

All Confluence pages, even child pages, have a page history, accessible from the action menu on the top right of the page from the view mode (not editing). Can you confirm that you published both the original and the new page where you were adding the images?

![Page history.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/257519i44513F362B29649D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Page history.png")

You'll notice there's also an option to see the attachments on the page. I would recommend looking at the attachments of the first page to see what files have been correctly added to the page. You probably encountered the errors copying and pasting the images because Confluence could not correctly attach the copied images to the new page.
