Will Confluence 6.13 become Enterprise Release and if so by when ?
Asked by Rolf Eckardt:

hi there,

there is a note on the 6.13 release notes that this will become the next ER. As we are already planning the upgrade I would like to re-confirm this versions.


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Unfortunately there is no official date announced to the public when this version would become an Enterprise Release, but I think we are really close to that. Yesterday there was an official release of 6.13.2 with only one issue fixed so most of them are probably completed and version become stable enough. You might try to upgrade to 6.13.2 and wait only for announcement.

Can I use the Product Requirements Blueprint / Template for other types of issue?
Asked by Fred W:

Can I use the Product Requirements Blueprint / Template for other types of issue in JIRA. It would be really good if our team could use a template similar to this that created linked issues from a parent issue using a "created by" link? (Confluence Server 6.11.2)


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Fred,

I would recommend that you edit the template itself to include the headings you require. See [Product Requirements Blueprint](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/product-requirements-blueprint-329975392.html):
>
> Customizing this blueprint {#toc-hId--1444946294}
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> As no two products or projects are alike, you can customize the templates that are used by the Product Requirements blueprint - see [Customizing the blueprint templates](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/blueprints-323982376.html#Blueprints-CustomiseTemplate).
>
> You might choose to edit the **index**page in a space to change the columns to be displayed by the Page Properties Report macro.
>
> You might choose to edit the **page template** to:
>
> * edit the headings or add additional headings
> * change the instructional text that prompts users to enter information to suit your context
> * add or remove rows within the Page Properties macro.
>
> See [Instructional text](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-template-296093779.html#CreateaTemplate-InstructionalText) to find out more about using instructional text in templates.

As for filtering Jira issues with a parent in a specific issue, you might need to combine that with another add-on such as ScriptRunner:

* [Jira Filter with "Parent in"](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Jira-Filter-with-quot-parent-in-quot/qaq-p/713078)

Let us know if you have any questions about that.

Shannon

comments: author: Fred W
body: I think you may have mis-interpretated what I was trying to achieve. Our set up has tasks that are a "child" or "created by" of an issue that is not called an Epic or User Story. I wanted to use the template to create tasks that were automatically attached to the higher issue (that is not an Epic).


author: Shannon S
body: Fred,

The only thing you'll be able to customize is text and macros in the template itself. If you need to change the Blueprint behavior, then you'll need to develop a new Blueprint in-house.

I hope that clarifies things for you.

Mirror or push Confluence Content from Atlassian Site to On Premise Site
Asked by Mike:

Our org has on premise cloud hosted with enterprise licensing for Confluence.

Our sub org has migrated over to Atlassian cloud but needs to share content with our on premise greater org.

Can I mirror pages from our Atlassian cloud or push content from our Atlassian cloud site to our on premise cloud site until the larger organisation joins us on the Atlassian cloud site?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Michael,

No, this is not possible. You would need to physically migrate the data from the Cloud instance back to the Server instance, where it could be modified and no longer match the data that is on Cloud.

My recommendation would be to link the two together via Application Links (purely for the ease of switching back and forth between the sites) and ensure that your greater org has access rights to the Cloud instances.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Mike
body: Thnx Shannon.

Just to be clear, you said Server instance. I was referring to Cloud to Cloud. On premise cloud to Atlassian cloud. Don't know if that makes a difference.

I'm messing around with html include macro to try and simply display a page from atlassian cloud to my companies on premise but am getting errors. I'll post a new question to the community as I can't find a solution to this online yet.


author: Shannon S
body: Michael,

My apologies for the confusion. You mentioned that you have an "on premise Cloud hosted with enterprise licensing for Confluence". Could you clarify what this means? We only have one type of Cloud instances, and that's the ones that use the \*.atlassian.net domain.

In addition, the HTML Macro native to Confluence is only available on Server and Data Center instances. Is this the version of the add-on you're using, or if you're on Atlassian Cloud for both instances, were you using the [3rd-party HTML Macro](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212279/html-macro-for-confluence-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)?

As far as referencing an Atlassian Cloud instance using HTML include macro, this is not possible. You would need to browse directly to your Cloud instance and login from there. One way to make it easier to access is by linking your instances together in Application Links as I mentioned earlier.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon

Space Key formating lower Confluence
Asked by matthiaskailabch:

When I create a new space the space key is generated automatically in uppercase.

How can i change it to lowercase?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there Matthias!

Could you share with us what is the objective of changing the space key to lowercase? Is there some kind of issue or solution that you are trying to come up with? Let us know so we can help you if needed.

For you to change the **Space Key** from **uppercase** to **lowercase**, you can do the following:
> 1. Go to the **desired space**
> 2. Click **Space Tools \> Content Tools \> Export**
> 3. After reaching this point, select **XML to export**
> 4. After finishing the export, go the **download location**
> 5. Extract the **.zip file**
> 6. Open the **entities.xml** file
> 7. Search for the part that reads **\<property name="key"\>\<!\[CDATA\[YOURKEY\]\]\>\</property\>**
> 8. Change the YOURKEY (this will be your space key) to the same but in lowercase
> 9. Save and close the file
> 10. Now, open the **exportDescriptor.properties**file
> 11. Look the part that reads **spaceKey=YOURKEY**
> 12. Change the value to the **lowercase key** equivalent
> 13. Save and close the file
> 14. **Zip all three files** (exportDescriptior entities and the attachments folder)
> 15. Go to **Cog Icon \> General Configuration \> Import \& Restore**
> 16. Select to restore
> 17. Select the **zip containing the modified files**
> 18. Restore it
> 19. The Space key should be lowercase now

**NOTES:**

* If you **do not want** to change the space key for the modified file, you will need to **delete the already existing space** from your instance
* If you **can or wish** to change the space key, you should change it in the files before trying to import the space into Confluence
* You can not import a space that has the same space key as an already existing space

Let us know your thoughts on this!

comments: author: matthiaskailabch
body: Hey, Diego!

Thanks for your quick answer, it works great.

But I want the key to be written automatically in lower case when creating a new space.

Is that possible?


author: Diego
body: Oh, alright! This is much quicker than the process shared earlier.

There is no automatic way of this to happen, however, you can **type the key** manually **during space creation** in lowercase and the Space Key will be set as lower key.

Let us know your thoughts on this!

Hide comments section at the bottom of wiki pages except on blog pages
Asked by flaimo:

We would like to hide the comments section at the end of all wiki pages, except when it is a blog page. Inline comments should still work on all pages. Users should not have to include a user macro every time.

I have tried the following custom CSS in my local confluence 6.14 instance based on the official docker image from atlassian and the following line works

```
<style>body:not([class~=?view-blog-post?]) #comments-section { display:none; }</style>
```

If I put the same code in our real 6.14 system all comment sections are hidden including the ones on blog pages, even though they should still be visible. (see screenshot of developer tools).

![hide_comments_except_for_blog_posts-2.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/44311i6D26F2F282E7E437/image-dimensions/543x306?v=v2 "hide_comments_except_for_blog_posts-2.png")

Is my CSS wrong, or is there another way to achieve the same outcome?


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Flaimo,

I tested your CSS on Confluence server 6.14 and confirmed the same outcome you are experiencing. The Comment section was hidden on both a blog and regular page. I reviewed you CSS and found a small syntax issue that resolves the problem in testing. Your CSS should look as follows:

```
body:not([class~=view-blog-post]) #comments-section { display:none; } ?
```

Please note the \<style\> is removed and the quotes on view-blog-post are removed. Here is a screenshot of the results of this CSS:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/44523i6AE39DFF00DB4101/image-dimensions/368x237?v=v2 "image.png")![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/44524iE65E30F4E40FD76D/image-dimensions/372x156?v=v2 "image.png")

Something to be aware of, while hiding the comment section will remove it from plain sight. A user may still enter the developer tools in a browser and make the comments visible to themselves and then enter/view comments. The above is a good deterrent but does not remove the ability to add/view comments.

I hope you find this helpful and you're able to hide comments within a page.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

comments: author: flaimo
body: that did the trick. thanks. we know about the limitations of this hack, but most users probably don't know what the developer tools are. we just want to encourage them, to use the inline comment function for pages where the content can change over time, in contrast to a blog post.

Delete a space created by a disabled user
Asked by Glen Byrne:

Hi,

I want to delete a space that was created by a user that has been disabled. I don't have admin on the space. How can I get admin rights to delete the space?


Answers:
author: Glen Byrne
body: Hi, I managed to track down a site admin; he added me to the administrators and the site admins group; we reactivated the disabled user; there was an option to log in as that user (impersonate them), which we did, went to the space settings, deleted the space, then logged out as that user; and deactivated the user again.

Issue resolved. Thanks!

comments: author: Vinicius
body: That's awesome to know! Seems this workaround was pretty effective to you, this is great!

I'm glad to know everything is fine now. Don't think twice in case you have any further question, the community is always up to help you!

Have a great one! :D


author: Vinicius
body: Hi, Glen! Hope you are doing great! :)

In order to get admin rights in this space, you must be sure you in [any group with admin permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/create-groups-and-update-permissions-744721627.html) in Confluence (for e.g. the administrators group).

That said, with admin permissions, you should see the "Settings" option at the left Confluence menu on the dashboards. After clicking on it, you will be redirected to the Confluence settings window.

On the left side of this window, you have the "Space Permissions" option. Click on it to access the menu including a list of spaces in your Confluence.

Ok, here we go. You can see a "Recover Permissions" option (on the right side of the space name). Clicking on it will provide you the permissions you need to become an administrator of the space and then delete the same.

As soon you take these actions from your side, do let me know! If any question appears in your mind meanwhile you perform these steps, I'm here to assist you!

comments: author: Glen Byrne
body: Hi Vinicius, thanks for the response.

Unfortunately it looks like I don't have admin on that space I want to delete.

It also looks like the person who set it up, who has since left, was the admin on the site overall (I'm not sure anyone else has admin rights now - of it that's even possible) There's also a strange situation where it looks like everyone in the site has admin rights on new spaces that are created.

I'd like to get this locked down correctly. How can I request admin rights for my own account? As I said, it's not clear to me that anyone currently using the site actually has admin! If I have to request it from someone else who has admin for the site, how can i find out who that is?

Thanks, Rgds, Glen.

How can I delete a page on the "saved for later" list when the actual page has been deleted?
Asked by Tami Day:

Several pages I have saved for later have now been deleted (combined into a new page). How can I remove these? The only way I have found to get a page off that list is to go to the page, and un-click "save for later" which is impossible if the page no longer exists. "Watches" can be changed by simply clicking "Stop watching" on the list.


Answers:
author: Pam Fick-Gerster
body: We are on 6.13.4 version and once the page is deleted it is held in the trash. With the page in the trash it cannot be removed from Saved for Later. The space admin has to purge the page from the trash and then it disappears from Saved for Later. Is there a bug for this?


author: Prakash Palanisamy
body: Hi [@Tami Day](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2652430), The page which you deleted will not be permanently deleted from the confluence space until unless the pages which you deleted are purged from the **"Trash".**You can go to Trash tab and Purge those pages,

**To purge deleted pages:**

1. Choose **Space settings** in the sidebar, then choose **Content tools**
2. Choose **Trash**
3. Choose **Purge** for a specific page or **Purge All** to permanently clear all deleted pages and news items

Please accept the answer if this solution solves your issue.

-Cheers! Prakash

comments: author: Tami Day
body: It is not the page itself that needs to be deleted, that has already happened. The problem is that the page is still listed on my "Saved for later" list, and I cannot find a way to clear it from that list.


author: Prakash Palanisamy
body: Okay [@Tami Day](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2652430). That is no the expected behavior to happen. Once the page is deleted the page should get removed from "Saved for Later" area. Please create a support zip and reach to Atlassian for further help on this.
