What macro have you used to create a dropdown?

author: Lisa Mitchell
body: I created a form with a drop down listing of locations. Although the listing shows each location, it will stay "selected" after editing and updating the location.![Confluence.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/247657i5E79366A4CDA4587/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence.PNG")


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Could you give us a bit more detail on what you are trying to do with the form (and whatever you are using to do forms in Confluence) and what it is doing wrong?
Is it possible to read and write the storage format of a page with ConfiForms?
Asked by Ulrik Schoth:

I guess that this is not possible with the current version of ConfiForms. Nevertheless, I wanted to venture a question. Maybe I have overlooked a corresponding virtual function or some other possibility.

I know that I can access the storage format via Confluence's REST API. However, I am interested in a more direct solution.

Use case is to create a page at the root level of a space. According to the [answer to a related question](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-it-possible-to-create-a-page-with-ConfiForms-that-has-no/qaq-p/2290469), this is not possible. By manipulating the storage format of an existing page at the root level, I could achieve the same goal.


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Ulrik Schoth](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2108520)

There is no business for ConfiForms REST API, as everything with content manipulation you do via Confluence REST API

comments: author: Ulrik Schoth
body: Hi [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630)

unfortunately, this is the expected answer.

A few words about my use case: As everyone knows, ConfiForms can be used as a [template engine to create *pages* in Confluence](https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Using+ConfiForms+app+as+template+engine+to+create+pages+in+Confluence). Now I wanted to use ConfiForms as a template engine to create *spaces* with a set of preconfigured pages.

Unfortunately, this turned out to be a more challenging task than expected. In particular, Confluence's REST API (at least for the Data Center version used here) provides limited options for configuring a Space. For example, it is [not possible to set Space permissions via Confluence's REST API](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-44329).

Nevertheless, thank you so much for your quick and patient responses to my perhaps somewhat unusual recent questions. ?

body: That is awesome to know how customers use the plugin and where they find it useful for their needs. We are always listening and trying to improve it where we can... So, thanks a lot for sharing

Just an idea, but may be you can use the Confluence REST APIs to create a orphan page in the space (invoked through the ConfiForms)?

Is it possible to do daily automatic Confluence space exports
Asked by Magdalena Zhisheva:

I know that this was discussed before but I didn't find any solution, which can be applied to Confluence Cloud.

Moreover, how all of you ensure the disaster recovery of your Confluence sites?

Is there any free solution here?


Answers:
author: Velizar Borisov
body: Hi [@Magdalena Zhisheva](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4479837) ,

This cannot be achieved out of the box with the native Confluence features.

Despite that, you might consider a third party tool (from the Atlassian Marketplace) for that or any software for automating steps (e.g. Selenium)

Hope that helps!

Confluence App for Microsoft Teams does not fetch spaces properly
Asked by Robin Pr?nte:

I installed the Confluence App on our Microsoft Teams.

We have 2 instances of Confluence.

For one of the two, confluence app does not fetch the spaces of the instance at all.

The result is, that i can neither create nor attach pages from this instance on my MS Teams.

Did anyone encounter the problem in the past?

I want to mention that said instances domain was renamed once in the past, the other instances domain was not.  

Aside from this i have no clue where this problem might come from.

I want to be able to sort tasks in a task report by priority.
Asked by Erin Truax:

I use task reports quite extensively across multiple pages. This gives me a handy to-do list for all of my action items; however, I often have many items due on the same day. I would like to be able to assign a priority that can be sorted on.

A secondary solution would be the ability to sort by task name; at least then I can use numbers at the beginning of my task to help sort them by priority.


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Erin Truax](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/18370)

It appears that Atlassian does not intend to implement a Priority attribute for tasks based on the comments in this issue:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-41566>

If found this post that suggested a work around involving third party apps.

Is it possible to export a page as PDF with Company logo?
Asked by Praveen P:

I need to export the Confluence page with my organization logo located at top-Right corner. I tried with the PDF Export and Page Layout it is not working out.

Can anyone help me?


Answers:
author: Rodrigo
body: Hello [@Praveen P](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5178756),

And welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I'm not sure you will be able to customize a PDF this deeply using the default functionality... I know placing the logo in a "top-right" format works. Could you share with us more details about your use case? Or what is the outcome of your tests?

Here if you want to have more tools to work with the exports, we can recommend you check the Atlassian Marketplace for other apps that could fulfill this goal.

* [Atlassian Marketplace - Search for "Export"](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=export)

Lastly, I could definitely recommend "Scroll PDF Exporter" from K15t; it's a good app that offers an insane amount of customizations for creating exports (like customized templates and headings), so if you need to export content constantly, this could definitely help (plus their support team is fast and super nice).

* [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) - Atlassian Marketplace

how do i see all events from Boards in Calendar
Asked by Pete:

Hello,

You mentioned the calendar power-up which is different - are you wanting to have things appear in your personal calendar (GCal or outlook calendar) as well?

List Button
Asked by Bopple Bot:

Does Trello have a **List Button**? I've seen Board Buttons and Card Buttons but can't find a List Button.

I don't need a List Button to solve any technical boundary. The button is more for context. The action I'd like to perform relates to all cards in the list, and it doesn't make much sense to have such a button inside a card.

I can't use board buttons, because then there's no way of knowing what list its being actioned from. Is there a solution to this?

In terms of UI I just see the button stacking at the top of the list.


Answers:
author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: Hi [@Bopple Bot](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4929708) ! No, Trello doesn't offer list buttons for the moment. You can [reach out to Trello](https://trello.com/contact#/) directly if you want to request this though!   

In the meantime, you could create a board button that only applies to a specific list, and include the list name in the board button name.   

Or, add a "header" card to the top of each relevant list and set up a rule that only applies when something happens to that specific card (e.g. a label is applied, custom field updated, etc.). The card could then contain a description explaining how it works.


author: Bopple Bot
body: I would be okay with a button inside a card if its possible to have an instruction modal pop up that explains how the board is supposed to be used.
If I sign up for a paid plan for one user can I add other (free) users to the boards
Asked by Nicholas Lealand:

Our business can't really afford to have lots of paid users.

I was wondering if we can simply have one paid user and add the other users to boards that they create?

Or are the free users limited to the number of boards they can connect to?


Answers:
author: KerryAnn May
body: Follow up question:

I have a robust Board A, with lots of lists and cards on that board.

One card in one list links to Board B that houses a template card using custom fields. I did it this way so that the cards in Board A don't have all of the custom fields in that card on Board B.

If my non-paying observers/members of Board A need to fill out that template card on Board B, it will trigger a paid membership for that member?


author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: Hi [@Nicholas Lealand](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4929559) ! Welcome to the community :) Trello plans are associated with the *workspace* , not the user. All boards within that workspace will adopt the paid features (custom fields, board views, etc.).   

Anyone you add as a workspace member will contribute to how much you pay each month/year. These members will have access to all boards within your workspace, and because the boards are within a paid workspace, they'll be able to utilize all the features that come with it.  

You can also have free workspace guests that don't contribute to your billing. If you want to add a free guest, all you need to do is invite that user to a board rather than adding them as a full workspace member. So, they'll just have access to that one board rather than all of the board's workspace. However, if you add that same user to a second board, they'll become a billable member.  

More details here: <https://help.trello.com/article/855-how-billing-works-with-trello-premium-and-standard>

comments: author: Solomon O. Smith
body: Still a little confusing, the pay system not the answer. So if I want to have some of the paid features I basically cannot have a revolving door of access to the boards. This is difficult for independent contractors. I have boards I need to share occasionally and I do not want to end up paying for multiple users across 4 workspaces just to let someone have access to a few boards for a week or two. The powerups are mostly for me, I use them like back-end stuff that the people I wat to share the board with will never use. I there a way where people can have access to only the basics of the free Trello account on the board? For example, I would want to pay for the editors to use the board fully as members, but I want the writers to only be able to create cards from the templates. I do not want the writers changing things or controlling the timeline, but i would like them to see it and be able to pitch via cards. How would you suggest we do that without having to pay for writers as members?
Colocar o aplicativo Trello em portugues
Asked by Francileide Barbosa:

Boa noite!

At,te.

Francileide Barbosa


Answers:
author: Vishaal S
body: Hi Francileide,

As you are accessing Trello via an Atlassian Account, your language (as well as your profile name and avatar) will need to be modified from your Atlassian account profile instead.

You can access it by first logging on to <https://id.atlassian.com/> and then go to your Account preferences at <https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/account-preferences> to change your language settings.

Our mobile apps will automatically be set to the device's language. If you change your phone so that the default language is English, the app will change languages as well. Alternately, you can open Trello in your phone's web browser, which will open Trello in the language you've chosen on the web.
Sort/move cards using the name of the month in the due date?
Asked by Lisa Harper:

Is there a way to use automation to move cards between lists, based on the name/number of the month in their due date? I haven't figured out which variable to use for the Due Date Month Name.

We have a board with lists for each month of the year. Cards belong to the list based on their due date - January list has due dates in January, February has due dates in February, and so on.

We often use the calendar view to move cards around for planning using drag and drop. However, the cards will remain in their original list. We've had cards get "lost" on board view if their due dates don't match the list month name.

Appreciate any assistance!


Answers:
author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: Hi Lisa! The variable is {cardduedatemonthname}

All the date variables are listed here: <https://help.trello.com/article/1157-variables#time-and-date-variables>. You just need to prefix them with "cardduedate".

Can I synchronise my trello calendar with my outlook 2010 calendar on a PC with Win7 SP1 Prof?
Asked by G?tz Schucht:

I followed the Trello help information under  
<https://help.trello.com/article/1064-using-trello-with-microsoft-outlook>.

I could perform all steps up to the point that I copied \& pasted the iCalendar-Feed provided within the settings of the trello calendar power up.  
When I clicked the OK button to execute the synchronisation an error message appeared, telling me that the pasted link is not a valid calendar link.  
I now wonder, if it is because of Windows 7?  
Is there a possibility or workaround for me to try w/o installing another OS on my PC?

FYI:  
When clicking the refresh button on the right of the iCalendar-Feed the feed itself changed  
e.g.:  
"<https://trello.com/calendar/61ffd4bc180658141a0181bd/5e3be5d967c1c42934539d64/>++0e2169e62c140c55b93f82e4e5903605++ .ics"  
and  
"<https://trello.com/calendar/61ffd4bc180658141a0181bd/5e3be5d967c1c42934539d64/>++1d9a4d6a2e74d3bb581c5d19dd056e4a++ .ics"  
Could *++that++*be a reason for Outlook 2010 not to accept the feed as a valid link?

On my smartphone I do not have a Google Account nor is Google Play activated.  
I installed Trello as an apk.  

OK, I hope I got everything here. And if the above issue has already been discussed or even solved, I would be happy if you could provide me a link to this discussion
