Drop-down list in Confluence
Asked by Nathalie Sampson:

Hi,

We are testing your free version and should go to a paid version soon.

One quick question ... are drop-down lists only available via a plugin for both free and paid versions OR does one of the paid versions offer integrated drop-down lists?

Thanks!

Nathalie

What feature are you looking for? A drop down like what Jira has? I'm not aware of that feature being available out of the box for Jira in any of the versions.

Thanks,   

Kian

author: Philford Griffith
body: Hello

For the moment, the dropdown list option doesn't exists. You can go ahead and vote for that option to be added. [\[CONFCLOUD-71449\] Dropdown list macro - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-71449) As a workaround, they also have the Marketplace apps which might be helpful to your use case [Easy Dropdown Menu (Drop down selection) \| Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216797/easy-dropdown-menu-drop-down-selection?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). All the apps from their Marketplace do work with Confluence Cloud. You just need to make sure to select "Confluence" as the product and "Cloud" as the hosting option from the Marketplace filter(top left)

When Calendar will be back to old UI way
Asked by sdas:

Could see multiple releases are happening since 2021, but somehow you guys are missing the main item, which everyone uses; "Calendar".

You all are aware, including your Product management that Calendar is hard screwed in cloud and people are not happy since 2021. Not sure why don't you take this as the 1st thing to do on your list rather than all others.

This is very frustrating to use and most likely can be deprecated as well, if you are not changing to a UI with all old features in it. This helps nothing, in comparison to the old calendar.

Go through the internet for feedback around it and also previous old posts like <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-I-change-the-display-of-events-back-to-the-old-calendar/qaq-p/1632361>, where it's very clear that you are neglecting the people's voice and need.

Please address this as soon as possible.


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: Hi [@sdas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5390987) , maybe use the feedback link in the app or contact Support. Both links are available under the "?" Icon in upper right corner.

Using CallDav to connect to Confluence with SSO
Asked by Nas:

Hi

I'm following the guide here to Sync a Calendar to Outlook 365 using CallDav

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf719/subscribe-to-team-calendars-from-microsoft-outlook-1157467235.html>

When testing (step 9) it fails to authenticate with the Personal Access Token I created, gives a 401 error.

Is this due to my organisation using SSO + 2FA (MS Authenticator) and is there a work around?

Thanks

Confluence CLI: Permission REMOVEOWNCONTENT not recognized!?
Asked by Peter Hochstrasser:

Hi

I tried to add a permission entry which has the Delete Own? checkmark set.

According to the doc, this should be removeowncontent.

So, I executed:

-a addPermissions --space TEST --group 'developer-confluence' --permissions 'VIEWSPACE, REMOVEOWNCONTENT, EDITSPACE, EDITBLOG, CREATEATTACHMENT, COMMENT, SETPAGEPERMISSIONS'  
'REMOVEOWNCONTENT' is an invalid space permission.  
Client error: 1 invalid space permission entries. Valid space permissions are: \[VIEWSPACE, EDITSPACE, ARCHIVEPAGE, REMOVEPAGE, EDITBLOG, REMOVEBLOG, CREATEATTACHMENT, REMOVEATTACHMENT, COMMENT, REMOVECOMMENT, SETPAGEPERMISSIONS, EXPORTSPACE, SETSPACEPERMISSIONS\]

I then retried, with just the "REMOVEOWNCONTENT" permission - to no avail.

<br />

It seems that the delete own flag is not part of the permission set supported by ACLI's addPermissions command.  
Is that correct?

Can you add a link of a Confluence page into a folder (like shortcuts in Windows)
Asked by kharrell:

We currently have some docs stored in a folder structure based on which team is responsible for the completion of that document's work. But often times the document covers more that one team. We then store it in the primary owner's folder, which greatly reduces the visibility of those docs and any related work to other teams.

Is there a way to to add a shortcut of a document to 'my' folder, which is a link to a document in another folder? I have full access to the other folder, its just hard to keep up with other docs that need to be read and where I need to provide feedback and/or add my own requirements for work if they are not in 'my work folder'. I can 'star' the document and look at my 'starred' list, but that's not really effective.


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@kharrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5390694) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

When you say *folder*, do you mean:

* a parent page, with the *documents* being child pages under that parent? (Each team has a different parent page)

OR

* a *space* , with the *documents* being pages and child pages within the space? (Each team has a separate space)

Or are you talking about *documents* that are files in a network folder somewhere outside of Confluence?


author: Daniel_Domene_Kolekti
body: Hi [@kharrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5390694) , as I was reading your issue, I was thinking of the starred solution, but I can see you've already tried it, and it is not very helpful in your case.  

I am not sure if there's a native solution for it, but if it helps, I'm currently working on a solution to create such type of structured content (we call them guides, which might equal your folders solution?) and they'd all be easily accessible from a central hub/guide management page, all within Confluence. It hasn't been released yet, but if you would like to have a sneak peek you could have a look at it [here](https://www.kolekti.com/guide-users-through-confluence-journeys-beta-registration?utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=question-add-link-to-confluence-as-shortcut_20231220) or ask me directly and I'll give you access to the private beta.

Use Forge to replace custom user macros
Asked by Kirstin Seidel-Gebert:

Hi Atlassian community,

I am currently looking into Atlassian Forge because I read somewhere (cannot find this page anymore) that you can use either **Forge** or Connect to replace custom user macros from your server instance.

I successfully completed the first two tutorials and got some insight, but I'm not sure if this can really replace user macros from Confluence server.  
We mainly (and extensively) used user macros to conveniently wrap Confluence macros so that they would be used consistently throughout our instance.

AFAIKS you cannot get Forge to wrap a Confluence cloud macro, can you? I see no way to access Confluence macros via the set of commands Forge supplies, nor with the Confluence API you can use inside Forge.

Is there another way I didn't see? Would this work with Connect (didn't have a look at this yet)?

Cheers,  
Kirstin


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: Forge macro support has less features than Connect macros.

In principle it is possible to embed Connect macros into Forge by using something called "Connect on Forge". However using this is relatively complex.

From you description, it seems you are using nested macros on server. You could try to emulate that with Connect macros, but there are some differences.

comments: author: Kirstin Seidel-Gebert
body: Thanks for your reply, marc. I'll definitely have a closer look at **Connect** instead of Forge.

How to restore a single space from a cloud backup?
Asked by Thomas Braun:

Seems i deleted a space months ago by accident. I have older cloud backups of the whole site. Is there a way to restore a single space from a complete cloud backup?


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: H [@Thomas Braun](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5390492) , Whats check to see if your space is in the trash. Click on the spaces menu bar selection and then if you are spaces. Once in that screen click on the trashed lozenge. See if your space is listed there. If found, then click on the... to the right, and select restore. If you do not find your space, then, unfortunately, it is gone cannot be restored without a full restoration.

comments: author: Thomas Braun
body: Hello Jack,  
thank you for the fast answer. Unfortunately the space is not in the trash folder. I will try to restore the whole site into a temp instance, as Marc suggested.


author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@Thomas Braun](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5390492)

Welcome to the community.

I second the answer from [@Jack Brickey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853369)

The options you have is to create another cloud instance temporarily, import the backup and export the space and then import the space into your instance.

Remove the temp instance.

comments: author: Thomas Braun
body: Hello Marc,  
thank you for the help and the tip with the temporal instance. Is it correct that i have to go to <https://www.atlassian.com/try> and sign up for a new Confluence trial just for getting a temporal instance?

Track Ownership of a page
Asked by Lukas Tartler:

Dear Community,

we are using Confluence 7.19.17 and are currently setting up a knowledge base.

A desired feature would be to track who is responsible for what page (which is fairly easy to manage, by just using the function to @ mention) but in return **we would also want a feature that allows to display which pages are under a persons responsibility**.

Ideally on the startup page, we would have a dropdown of everyone in the team and pick a person and then see a list of pages in which they they are listed as the responsible person. Thats just a suggestion though, just picking or sorting for a person and then seeing all the pages under this persons responsibility is fine.

So far we have tried to use the page properties macro and then generating a page property report. This way technically works, the necessity to tag pages with a certain word and apply that tag whenever you create a new page is very cumbersome and therefore not practical for everyday use with 100+ people.

Would anyone have suggestions on how to implement this?

I have tried this: [Transfer ownership of your page to another person \| Confluence Cloud \| Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/transfer-ownership-of-your-page-to-another-person/)

Unfortunately this does not work, as we don't use this version of confluence.

Thank you for any recommendations on how to approach this. :)  

BR

Announcements in Confluence

How to get all confluence spaces using graphQL
Asked by Parikshit Pandhare:

please help


Answers:
author: Alessandro Cuccaro [ServiceRocket]
body: Hello [@Parikshit Pandhare](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5385692)  
Hope you are doing well!  

Unfortunately I do not have any experience using graphQL. Although, there are alternatives to find out all your Confluence Spaces if you are a site Administrator as you stated in the question.  

If you are on Confluence cloud and an administrator then you can see all spaces in the space permission administrator section (other than private user spaces).

You can also try using Rest API as described [here!](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-space/#api-wiki-rest-api-space-get)  

The result would be in JSON.  

Hope that helped!

Due Date has an Offset when I export Data into a Report
Asked by Thomas_eschenmoser:

As shown in the Attached Screenshot, the Due Date of the Task-4329 is 28.02.2024 in the JIRA GUI. In the Report it is 27.02.2024 23:00. I have a feeling that this could be related to time zone somehow. What I obseverd is that the time changes between 22:00 and 23:00. This could be a daylight-saving issue.![2024-06-26_13-34-57.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/331864i0AF35D92717F5964/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2024-06-26_13-34-57.jpg")

Is there anything I can do to get the expected Date (28.02.2024) in the Report?


Answers:
author: Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira
body: Hi [@Thomas_eschenmoser](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4913582)

yes, that's almost certainly a time zone issue. I believe that this has been around for a while (see e.g. [this bug report](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/API-386)), and AFAIK, there's no fix available. You might be able to do some scripting in Excel, however I haven't done this myself and therefore can't comment on the details. Alternatively, if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you'll have more options available. I'll provide more information below.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

comments: author: Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira
body: To expand on my last point: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, there's a number of spreadsheet- and/or export-focused apps available that work around the limitations of Jira's built-in export.

As an example, this would work as expected in the app that my team and I are working on, [JXL for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224710?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=2736967).

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you'd do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also allows exporting your issues to Excel in just 2 clicks, including the exact time values that you see in Jira.

This is how it looks in action:

![export-to-excel.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/332627i11B74AC6B1C9B17C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "export-to-excel.gif")

I should add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable *issue hierarchies* , to *issue grouping* by any issue field(s), *sum-ups* , or *conditional formatting*.

Any questions just let me know!

How to add "Story Points" to item creation screen?
Asked by Christopher Carvalho:

Hello team,  

We integrate Jira with other software, such as Azure, Asana, Monday, etc...  

We are experiencing an issue where we are unable to properly synchronize Jira's Story Points field as it isn't being brought up in the creation screen.  

Even though I move it around the fields configuration, it simply won't be displayed on creation screen.  

Sending Jira's Story Points to Context fields makes it disappear from the ticket/task/epic.  
Adding it to Description fields only brings it up after the item creation, but not on the creation screen.  

How can this be achieved?
