I am trying to create a rule to add multiple checklists to a card a once?
Asked by Danny Gudorf:

I am trying to when I choose a certain drop down option that 4 checklist populate the card at once.

author: Brittany Joiner
body: [@Danny Gudorf](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5080045) welcome to the community! i assume the dropdown is a custom field correct? If so, your trigger would be when custom field \[name\] is set to \[value of dropdown\], and then your actions would be add the \[checklist\] to the card. (i like to additionally specify that the checklist should come from a template card.)

Your rules should look something like this.

And it should work like this!

Let me know if you've never set up any automation before, and I'm happy to record a video showing you how to do it!

comments: author: Danny Gudorf
body: [@Brittany Joiner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1692248) Thanks for that info and you are correct. I was able to do all of that successfully but I need four checklist to populate. I was only able to get the first one to populate but not the other 3. Here is a loom video. Thanks <https://www.loom.com/share/9aa2a16adbb64ebc86dda489649cc204>


author: Brittany Joiner
body: [@Danny Gudorf](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5080045) that should work. are you sure those additional checklists are all on that same card? And everything is spelled correctly? You could be super explicit and put the link to the card you're pulling the checklists from and not the card name... that's what i do. just in case there is some duplicate card out there that has the same name but not the checklists.


author: Danny Gudorf
body: [@Brittany Joiner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1692248) Hey Brittany I tried that and it still only populated the first checklist


author: Brittany Joiner
body: Hmm not sure what's going on there. Can you record a screen share of your rule and of you doing the action?
Problem with addind addresses to the Location/map feature
Asked by Diane Diggles:

When I type the address in a card into the "location" button, sometimes the drop down menu of possible addresses does not drop down. When that happens I do not see how to get the address to add to the map. I am using the free trial of premium specifically because of the map feature.

I was hoping that I would not have to do something to each of hundreds of cards and that it would pick up the address that is already typed in Crmble. Is that possible?


Answers:
author: Diane Diggles
body: * I discovered if I delete a character or 2 then the dropdown appears so that part is solved. But, it would be so helpful if I did not have to go card by card to do this. Is there any way that the maps feature can pick up the address from the Crmble card?
Checklists not found in trello
Asked by Marco Di Iorio:

I have a couple of automations that will create a new card every day with a checklist that has a set of to-do items that my team needs to complete, however, whenever the card is archived, trello is then unable to run the calendar rule that creates a new card at a given time because it can't find the mentioned checklist.

Is this a bug, a lack of a feature, or is there something I'm doing wrong? I'd like the automation to create a new card every day with the same checklist, and for that card to be archived every day after it's fully completed.


Answers:
author: XLR8 Work
body: Hi [@Marco Di Iorio](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5080103)

I think you have two options

1. Create a base card to store your checklist in that stays on the board (or you could keep it on a different board) and never gets archived or deleted. Treat that original card as a template, or
2. If you want to pull a checklist from an archived card you can do it by referencing the card directly like below, I have tested and confirmed this will still work even if the card is archived

Personally I prefer method one as you can update the template card if your checklist needs to be modified

Before archiving the card, open it, click share and grab the card link

![Get card link.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/225897i39E815141522222A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Get card link.PNG")

Then create a rule that references that card directly

author: milynnus
body: [@Marco Di Iorio](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5080103)

In general, the automation works on open cards. Archived cards are closed and therefore are not processed.

Newbie with a question about Power-Up, BIGPICTURE
Asked by Natasha Vassallo:

Hello Everyone!

I found a nice Power-Up that seems perfect for organizing multiple projects. The Power-Up is BigPicture, sadly I can ADD it and it appears at the top of my board, but it doesn't fully load. When I click on the BigPicture Tab to open it says my Administrator needs to approve it. However, the Administrator has done that and still doesn't open for me. Anyone ever have this happen?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Natasha Vassallo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5073822) Have you tried removing it and having the administrator add it to see if that gets around the approval issue? You can also submit a support issue to the vendor here <https://jira.bigpicture.one/servicedesk/customer/user/login?destination=plugins/servlet/desk/portal/1>

comments: author: Natasha Vassallo
body: Yes, I removed it but immediately reinstalled it. Are you suggesting removing it and allowing it to stay until the administrator adds it back?

Yes, the vendor has responded and it did not resolve the issue.

Thanks!


author: Brant Schroeder
body: Yes, you uninstall and have the administrator install it.


author: Natasha Vassallo
body: Thanks. I will let you know if that works.


author: Natasha Vassallo
body: No luck with the Big Picture. Apparently, they do not support Trello at this time.

I am looking for a Power-Up to aggregate all of my boards into a portfolio.

Trello (web) description text always double spaced? Can I change this?
Asked by Philip Anema:

Hi Trello community -

It would seem in a recent slew of updates when I use trello on the web (chrome) any time I add text to the description field it enters as double spaced lines text i.e. extra space space between each line of text.

A few months ago, this was not the case. When I enter info into descriptions from mobile (ios) text enters into the description field as single spaced lines and is much more compact and much much more preferred to me. The double spacing on the web is making formatting my cards difficult.

Is there a way for me to set my web trello to go back to the single space line set up so the text entered in descriptions is more compact and is the same across my mobile and desktop experience?

Thanks for any input...

// Phil


Answers:
author: XLR8 Work
body: Hi [@Philip Anema](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5079825)

I don't know how to set the line spacing to single by default on web/chrome but the trick of pressing shift+enter work for me. May be worth trying.

comments: author: Carrie Turissini
body: I'm having the same frustrating problem. Yes shift+enter works, but it's certainly not ideal or convenient. There must be a way to have regular line spacing with "enter".


author: David Naylor
body: Yep agree, Shift+ ENTER is annoying, plus it only reduces the space slightly on my laptop and phone, it still doesn't create single spacing like it used to be a few months back.
cause a plan to fail on SQL script error
Asked by Russ Collins:

I am new to bamboo but have not been able to find info anywhere on what I am trying to do.

In a task I am running a powershell script to deploy database changes. In that PS script it calls invoke-sqlcmd to execute a sql script. However, if that sql script fails for any reason the entire task still completes successfully. Is there any way to cause the task to fail if the script errors?

Thanks


Answers:
author: PiotrA
body: Hello Russ,

I know that Bamboo uses return code for Script Task to determine if it should fail the build. So one solution that comes to my mind would be to tweak your powershell script to detect if invoke-sqlcmd has failed/errored, and if so - exit 1 or exit something different than 0. 0 return code means to Bamboo "I'm a successful task, please don't fail me".

Is that helpful to you?

regards

Using a newly created Tag/Branch in checkout tasks at later stages in the plan
Asked by Ivan Kozhirug:

I am trying to create a build plan which has a VCS Tagging(or VCS Branching) task in its first stage, and then at later stages uses the newly created tag(or branch) to checkout code from it(repository is SVN). I use a plan variable for the tag/branch name - ${bamboo.repoBranch} - and this variable is also used in the repository URL. I understand that this URL would not be valid until the tagging/branching task is executed, but tasks that try to checkout from that URL are at later stages. From what I understand, there is something like a code change detection phase, during which Bamboo checks all defined repositories for changes(no matter the order they are referenced in the plan or even if they are not used in the plan at all). I think this is the reason my approach doesn't work, is that correct? Here is the exception I get:

com.atlassian.bamboo.repository.InvalidRepositoryException: svn:

at com.atlassian.bamboo.repository.svn.SvnRepository.detectCommitsForUrl(SvnRepository.java:527)

at com.atlassian.bamboo.repository.svn.SvnRepository.collectChangesSinceLastBuild(SvnRepository.java:278)

Another alternative to what I am trying to achieve is to have a plan that creates a tag/branch and a child plan of that plan which uses the newly created tag/branch. The problem with this is that plan variables cannot be passed to child plans - I want to use Run Customized to override the value for ${bamboo.repoBranch} and the overriden value to be passed to the child plan. From what I've read the workaround for this is to use a script task which using the Bamboo REST API queues the next plan for execution, but this seems a not very elegant solution.

Any other approaches for what I am trying to achieve will be helpful.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Przemek Bruski
body: You could try switching to that branch/tag using a Script Task.

You can't use Bamboo repsoitories for that because they operate on repository state as it was at the point the build was triggered.

comments: author: Kevin James
body: a bit confused by your comment Przemek. You say that it depends on the repo state when the build was triggered but what is the point of the VCS tagging task then? Doesn't tagging infact represent a state of the repository, I mean, that is what tagging is right - marking all the revisions. So, one should be able to use \*this\* state from the tagging task.

In addition, even if I use the source code checkout task, isn't that the point at which the repo state matters? If the build is triggered and 20 mins later my source code checkout task executes then why would the state of the repo at trigger time matter?


author: Kevin James
body: This seems like a limitation. If there is a built in task to create a new tag then it should be available for later tasks. I have parameterized my repo location but I get the exact same error Ivan gets: "repository does not exist". It seems to be validating the repositories before the tasks even start so the tag has not been created yet.

Is there a way to connect a local build machine to Bamboo OnDemand?
Asked by Yazid Grim:

Hi,

We work on large data warehousing projects and our build machines end up always being very big and resource consuming. We usually host them into our facilities.

I am evaluating Bamboo OnDemand and I am trying to find a way to use it with our local (not exposed) build servers.

Is there a way to accomplish this without having to move to AWS? Or Am I bound to have Bamboo (download) if I want to achieve this?

Thanks for the help


Answers:
author: Przemek Bruski
body: Currently, hosting your own agents with OnDemand installation is not possible. Please vote here: [https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-11870](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-11870%20).

If you want to host your own agents, you need to use the Download version.

Can Bamboo support tracking 'metrics' of a build?
Asked by Parviz Palangpour:

Imagine if you were building a compiler and wanted to track metrics, such as generated code size for a test. If the metrics can be generated by other script, can Bamboo store them so they can be easily tracked?


Answers:
author: Brent Villalobos
body: When you say generated by another script, do you mean a script that runs as part of a Bamboo build or a script that runs completely outside of Bamboo? If it's the former, you can use Bamboo's artifacts functionality to store any arbitrary data that your build produces. Those artifacts are then accessible through the build's results page, via a REST call, or directly off the server provided that you have the appropriate permissions.

What do you mean by tracked? Do you want to see a graph of your code size over time for example? I don't think Bamboo has any built in functionality to chart arbitrary user data. You would have to write your own script for that.
to add a new capability in existing plan via DB or via other way
Asked by kalubi christian:

Dear,

I would like to add a new capability to all my existing plan. I investigated the Bamboo DB and I didn't found how to insert a new capability linked to all my plan.

Do you have any idea how to proceed? It's not mandoatory to do that via the DB, if you have another solution or way to do ttat, it's also ok


Answers:
author: Brent Villalobos
body: I dont suggest directly modifying the database as I believe it will need a service restart to take affect and there is a lot of room to really damage your Bamboo instance. If you modify the database incorrectly, its possible that your Bamboo service will fail to restart for example.

If there isnt an official REST call for what you're trying to do (which there isnt for capability modifications), then open a browser and add/modify a capability with a debugging tool like FireBug (firefox) or the element inspector (chrome) enabled. You will then see the underlying url and arguments being called that modifies capabilities. You can then make that call from the command line via wget or curl or write a small tool in perl, python, etc. that makes the change. This is much safer as you are going through the "front door" of Bamboo as a client and not mucking with the database.

Remember, nearly anything you can do through the web UI you can make from a script if you know the URL and arguments. Some disclaimers:

* Since these aren't official public REST calls, Atlassian may change them in future Bamboo releases.
* You may still need to query the database to get certain values to pass to the REST call, but querying, not changing, the database is pretty safe.

comments: author: kalubi christian
body: It sounds good. Do you have any example because I never made a call REST. I looked at the documentation but it's not so easy


author: Brent Villalobos
body: I don't think I could provide an example any easier that what the Atlassian documentation already provides. If you're new to scripting http GET/POST requests then I suggest looking around the internet for information or purchasing a book on the topic since it's a much larger topic than what can be explained in this forum.
Is anyone using gradle to build ant run unit tests in Bamboo?

author: roy_lyons
body: This is old... :) but I have a thought.

So you can run this as a command task or script task if you dont have artifactory

there is a junit test results collector task which you can then run right afterwards in the same job to pick up the test results and it will work just as if you had done it with maven or something.

Bamboo Multiple Repository Mange
Asked by bsarkar:

In our project there are lots of module. We are using Subversion to store and mange our code.

**Every module store in repository as different project.**

So there are many different source reposotory URL. As the Project modules are increasing the source repository Url also increasing.

I am looking for a solution like below in bamboo....

the two module repository url of our project

1.https://someurl/repos/someproject/GroupManagementUI/

2.https://someurl/repos/someproject/UserManagement-Activiti/

You can see the Repository url are almost same

```
https://someurl/repos/someproject/
```

Only difference in the last project name

Is there A way in bamboo that I can Only define the url like this

```
https://someurl/repos/someproject/
```

```

```

```
in my plan's Source Repository and when ever i am going to checkout code from SVN I just select
```

```
that Url and encode the "Project Name" at the last of that Url.
```

```

```

```
Is it possible in bamboo??
```


Answers:
author: Jan Swaelens
body: Hi,

You can not do this when you want to use the build-in tasks to perform the code checkouts.

What you can do is define those projects as 'Shared Repositories' (Administration - Shared Repo's) which means that you can simply select them in the checkout tasks. This avoids the definition of the repo config for each checkout. This saves some pain when you would have the case where you need to checkout the same source in multiple places.

cheers

No "create plan" link in the menu

Let's get this working for you :) I have been able to make the 'Create Plan' menu disappear when the 'Elastic Bamboo Configuration' is disabled. Can you confirm you configured and enabled this item already?

If you access the path https://\<instance name\>/builds I expect it will display a 'Configure Elastic Bamboo' button in the centre of the screen.

There is also the following great guide to answer any further questions you may have about the setup process in general: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Getting+started+with+Bamboo+OnDemand>

author: Naoko Reeves
body: Hi Paul,  
Looks like 'Elastic Bamboo Configuration' is already enabled because I do see 'Configure Elastic Bamboo' button in the center of the screen. There are 2 more button next to it horizontaly 'Create my first plan' and 'Import from...' which are disabled.

I read the link you sent me and made me realize that Bamboo OnDemand requires EC2 (sigh.. sorry I should have learned that first...)

I was thinking of Bamboo can be served like Hosted Jenkins. We don't host our app on EC2.

Sorry for the noise... so I guess my option is to download Banboo...

Thank you for your time and advice.

Build a Windows 8 Store App on Bamboo

Has anyone successfully done this?

I'm not sure how this is possible because when I tried to msbuild my jsproj on Server 2012 I got:

"This Windows Store app could not be packaged. You can only package Windows Store apps on computers that have the Windows 8 operating system"

And this: <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br211386.aspx>

Says:

"Important Windows Store app development is supported only on Windows 8. You can't develop Windows Store apps on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2012."
