Confiforms Setting a date via IFTTT on Modified
Asked by Jason Walsh:

I'm running into an issue when attempting to set a date field when another field has changed when a Confiform record has been modified.

For reference I have a status field that I'm tracking for changes and when that field is updated, I want to set another field to today's date and set another field to what the previous status was as well. I'm attempting to do this in an IFTTT - On Modified - Create / Update Confiforms Record.

Event = On Modified

Action = Create / Update Confiforms Entry

Filter = hasChanged(issuestatus):true

Parameters = entryId=\[entry.id\]\&oldstatus=\[entry._previousState.issuestatus.label\]\&statusdate=\[entry._today\]

What's interesting is that field "oldstatus" is working as intended, but statusdate seems to blanket all the records in my table on any update. Not sure what I've missed here and any help is appreciated. Thanks!


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Can you try to quickly change it to

\&statusdate=\[entry._now\]

(what field type is your "statusdate"?)

comments: author: Jason Walsh
body: statusdate is just a date type field. I'll try your change and see what happens


author: Jason Walsh
body: Checked this morning and it looks like it's still updating the statusdate for "most" records even though I've validated that records didn't fit the filter criteria.

What's odd is that not "all" records are being updated with today's date, but a vast majority are. Not sure what could be causing this break in the logic.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Do you have other IFTTTs that run on record update? Something like "Update entries by filter"

As "Create / Update Confiforms Entry" cannot update \*multiple\* records

Check this page <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/How+to+troubleshoot+and+debug+ConfiForms+IFTTT+rules+execution> , it helps you to understand what IFTTTs are called and in which order


author: Jason Walsh
body: Aside from IFTTT macros to either create JIRA issues / send email on modified, I don't have any other IFTTT rules to make changes by filters.

As far as placement goes, I have the macro in question placed after macros created to create JIRA issues and before macros placed to send emails. is there a best practice or "flow" as to where to align these macros in the waterfall?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: IFTTTs execution order is set in the same order you have the macros inside the ConfiForms Form Definition (assuming the event and condition is met)

May be you can open a [support ticket with us, so we can check and troubleshoot your specific case](https://wiki.vertuna.com/x/S4GW)?


author: Jason Walsh
body: Thanks Alex and yes, that makes perfect sense.

I'll accept the answer here and open a ticket as it might be something small I've missed and am just not seeing the break in the logic.

Draw.io infinity loading
Asked by Khoi Hoang:

Hello,

<br />

I have encountered an issue where the draw.io is loading infinity all the time. For some reason, it works nice on my colleague's account, but on my account, it never shows the diagram at all.

<br />

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

author: Mirek
body: Hi [@Khoi Hoang](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4211404) ,

Did you used draw.io before and worked on something? Have you tried a different browser? Is your colleague using same (your) computer that you are when doing the "test"?

comments: author: Khoi Hoang
body: Hi [@Mirek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781521)

I don't think I remember I did use draw.io before and worked on something. I have tried different browser, but none of them was working. I have even tried to use cache cleaner as well.

My colleague is not using my same computer to test. She used her own computer to test on her own account.


author: Mirek
body: Ok. In that case we should probably focus on your specific computer or network To be sure that everything is OK with you account, are you able to do a test on a different computer (but same network) and your current computer but different network? In both situations if possible also check at least two browsers.

Short Cut for deleting Hyperlinks
Asked by Felix Schmidt:

Hello everybody,

is there a shortcut for deleting a hyperlink?

I copy a Table with a lot of Hyperlinks. But i only need the text.

EDIT: I try to copy the results of a jira filter. The customer can't see the project so i can't use any gadgets and the hyperlink is useless and not nice. I also try to avoid an Excel export

Cheers,

Felix


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Felix Schmidt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3749935)

if you can't export it e.g. as csv (which already deletes hyperlinks) you definitely need a step between. You can copy it in any kind of program that creates a pure txt file (any editor, notepad aso) -\> Hyperlinks deleted!

Hope this helps - but without this step it's getting difficult


author: KAGITHALA BABU ANVESH
body: copy the table and paste it as

CTRL+ SHIFT + V

Try this once

comments: author: Felix Schmidt
body: doesn't work... I forgot to mention the table is the result of a ticket search. I don't need the link becouse the customer can't see the project. That's why i don't use gadgets

Easily searchable repository with labels or tags
Asked by Ewa Tatarczak:

We want to create a more approachable, accessible, and searchable confluence repository of different UX findings e.g. research results, observations, etc.

We want to be able to label/tag content we create, search, and filter the content you want to see based on tags. I know labels and labels macros functionality but I'm wondering how I can easily create filter panes that can help users to more efficiently browse content from different confluence project spaces.

body: Please explain what you mean by filter panes.

comments: author: Ewa Tatarczak
body: Hi Davin, thank you for your reply. Answering your question, by a filter pane, I mean the ability to filter the content based on several dimensions at once. For example, if you have a library with research reports, you can use a filter pane to limit the content to only show reports from a selected time period, for a certain product, and related to a certain type of customer.

Asked by Lasse Kamp:

Hi,

I use the context by label macro. But it seems that it no longer works for me!

Space tree disapears when calling "organise pages" menu
Asked by serge calderara:

Dear all,

I have a wierd issue reported by some users.  
When a user access a confluence space, the page tree is displayed correctl on the left hand side.

Then as soon as user select the menu to Reorder page from space tools menu, then the space tree is not visible anymore and user need to click all time afterward on the space name

Trying the same in private navigation works.

is it somehow related to caching or cookies ?

Does anyone meet same behaviour ?

regards


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Hi [@serge calderara](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3385932) ,

Yes it might be a browser issue. Did you had a chance to check not only private mode but also a completely different browser to see if the behavior is the same?

comments: author: serge calderara
body: Hello [@Mirek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781521) , in the meantime yes we try in private session and it works ok.

Then we decide to try to clear browser cache and after this all works fine


author: Mirek
body: Glad that the issue is solved :)


author: Steven Haworth
body: I'm seeing the same thing, and clearing the cache doesn't help. On older spaces, page tree in sidebar displays as normal. But in a new space I've been setting up, it usually does not appear. I see 'Pages' in the sidebar, but nothing under it. It's very frustrating.

comments: author: Steven Haworth
body: After some more investigation - turns out I used a template for a project overview page, and edited the Space Settings to make that the home page. This caused the problems. I set 'home page' in the settings back to the default, and page tree works again. Odd though...

Custom field not displaying value in JIRA Macro

I have a strange issues related to jira issue macro.

I created a custom field using SIL scripts to display values.

one field is displaying the value in jira macro fine , but the other one is showing no value (blank)

body: hi ambujp, like the above said, it also just auto-magically worked one day for me


author: ambujp
body: I am hoping it will work for me as well some day :-)

One logic which I can think of is newly created custom fields are stored in some database in JIRA app, which is not synced with confluence (JIRA Macro) in real time. Perhaps some batch will run at some predefined interval and then it will start working.

Confluence restart
Asked by Mariusz Kupczyk:

Dear Sirs,

I have a problem with the confluence self-restarting.

The error is always resolved by restarting the service.  
This is not an optimal solution for us, because the restarts are irregular.

We have the memory parameters set:  
-Xms10g -Xmx10g

A similar problem was solved here: SDS-56296.

Best Regards,,

Mariusz


Answers:
author: Daniel Ebers
body: Hi [@Mariusz Kupczyk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4125260)

while we do not have access to support requests from Community there is not much information you have provided so providing help is complicated.

Assuming Confluence crashes (and probably restarts) first thing to look at should be the log files.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/working-with-confluence-logs-108364721.html>

The memory parameters without context (user base, concurrent users, usage pattern, hardware specification, infrastructure of your setup) is not very helpful.

On the other side there is (general) information available from knowledge base on how to troubleshoot:  
<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/troubleshooting-confluence-hanging-or-crashing-163415613.html>

Please go through it and in case it does not help another support request (you mentioned already one) would be certainly an option.

Regards,  
Daniel

Can I create several tab one the homepage
Asked by Jingyu Miao:

I am able to create one page now and I am wondering if I can create several tabs. User can click and go to different tab they want


Answers:
author: WW
body: If you mean tabs in the page, there are no built-in tab macros in Confluence. You would need to get a plugin that creates tabs on your pages.

If you have a plugin that creates tabs, then yes, you can create multiple tabs that the user can click on to see different content.

I think, though, that you're probably talking about **pages** as [@DPKJ](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/690016) mentioned.

comments: author: Jingyu Miao
body: thanks


author: DPKJ
body: [@Jingyu Miao](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4210818) Welcome to the Atlassian community.

I'm not completely able to get what you mean to say by tab in confluence.

If you are talking about tabs on top, "Home, Recent, Spaces etc" you can't do much about that.

If you are talking about links to the page is sidebar they will appear in space as soon as you create page.

I hope this help, but in case you have different problem please elaborate or add some screenshots.

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: We are a community of people with an interest in Atlassian, we are not your administrators, and we can't know who they are.

You are going to need to look at what you can in the space to try to identify the space owners. See if you can see anything in the space settings, or the top level pages that identify the owners of the space. If not, then the easiest thing to do might be to ask other users of your Confluence if they know who the admins are.

How to find the number of pages, blog posts and users in a space Confluence?
Asked by Chantal Barcenas:

Hello!  
I am currently collaborating with a company that uses JIRA and Confluence, they asked me to generate a dashboard that responds to the following:  
How many pages are there in the current space?  
What kind of documents exist in the space?  
How many documents have not been updated for more than 6 months?  
How many times has each of the users of the space been tagged?  
The list of users who follow the space  
They would be so kind to guide me as I can do this, since I already looked in several blogs and publications but I do not identify anything that allows me to solve this without resorting to additional plug-in.  
For example, I found this post

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-find-the-number-of-pages-blogposts-and-attachments-720636388.html>

but it doesn't tell me where I can run the queries to get the information for the report


Answers:
author: Daniel Ebers
body: Hi [@Chantal Barcenas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4193792)

from the description it sounds you are looking for analytics which is available to Confluence Cloud Premium and Enterprise:  

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/view-analytics-to-see-how-content-is-performing/>

It might be that not every requirement in particular is possible to query but maybe you can work along what is desired and what is provided to see if there is a partial match at least.

The [evalaluator resources](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeval/confluence-evaluator-resources/confluence-analytics-statistics) over here also refer to audit log. From my personal view they are less suitable for a monthly/quarterly reporting on figures.

Apart from that and especially in the light of the assumption that not every figure will be able to gathered: try to show which facts are most valuable to the management. Try to address them first, then work along the "nice to haves".

Cheers,  
Daniel

body: Hi [@Chantal Barcenas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4193792)

Welcome to Community! You can't run queries (SQL) on Confluence Cloud. The only alternative is to either use an add-on from Atlassian Marketplace or develop an add-on yourself. Those information you're seeking requires extracting the information via REST API and processing it into the desired data.

body: [@Prince Nyeche](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1928483) Thank you very much for your answer, any APP recommendation in Atlassian Marketplace so that I can develop this type of report?
