Sorting when embedding a view from Atlas into Confluence not updating
Asked by Nerissa:

I'm trying to build a "home" page for my OKRs in Confluence, and I need to pull content across from Atlas to connect the live data (goals and sub-goals), so I have a smartlink to display the saved view.

Because I want to see the content in name order I've sorted the view to display how I want:

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/330384i55C64912F746DA47/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

However, when I add the link to Confluence my saved sorting is not applied. Instead, it defaults to show the at risk sub-goals first, although I can't figure out the logic behind the default sorting here.

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/330385iEB8EA5C77027263E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

I'd love to figure this out so it can be displayed in the order I want, not have my preferences removed in the embed.

Thanks!

Linking Components in Jira to a confluence page
Asked by Shaistha Begum:

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well.

I have one query in regards to linking the component (values) automatically to the confluence page or particular section within the confluence page.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Dave Mathijs
body: Hi [@Shaistha Begum](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4346797) interesting question.

You can include the **Components** field in a column of the **Jira Issues** Macro in Confluence, but you cannot copy the values as a Confluence 'field' on a page or within a section.

As Components are project-specific, this would be impossible to do for all projects that feature components.

Also note that Jira is steering away from Jira Components to Compass Components.

comments: author: Shaistha Begum
body: Thanks [@dave](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/747165)

However, my requirement is I am writing a confluence with all the integrations our systems have with third party and internal as well. Some of these are listed under the components section. I wanted to see if there is any option for me to link these components to that confluence.

Also, this confluence does not reference any Jira number.

Regards

Issues when the clicking on the page when the window is not in focus
Asked by Nandesh_Rasiklal:

When I click on the section I want to paste information in the confluence document, it doesn't automatically take the key cursor to that section but still stays to the previous clicked section - see gif


Answers:
author: hbunjes
body: My findings are the cursor jumps to the position you click on but immediately changes the position back to the previously selected position.

I think the editor keeps the last position in memory where you have been and as soon as it gets the focus back, the cursor is positioned there.

I don't have a workaround but it's also for us very annoying, especially when editing with Confluence and other sources (e.g. Jira when copying issue links).


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Nandesh_Rasiklal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5522908) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I don't have an answer---just a commiseration. I also find this very annoying!!!! And not just for pasting. I often click somewhere and start typing only to find that the cursor was not placed where I clicked. This is very bad when you are looking elsewhere while typing.

comments: author: Frank 8008
body: This is very annoying!!! It makes editing text almost non-workable :(

it is even when not changing between windows, it just jumps the cursor back to where it after before \~1 sec.  
25% of the time!

Maybe this behaviour is worse on large pages with more pictures and tables (as the one I am editing now).

Creating simple confluence cloud theme
Asked by Dan Foster:

Hi all, reaching out looking for some assistance / guidance in creating a very simple confluence theme.

I'm aware of the ability to buy themes in the app store, however our needs are very basic / simple, in that we're simply looking to change text styles and colours to meet our companies internal standard while leaving everything else stock, and all of the themes on the marketplace seem to do way more than we need.

I've read all the documentation available, but it is fairly complicated and seems to assume a complicated theme and requires a web developer, I'm wondering if somewhere out there is a basic theme template that could be edited, purely for the purpose of updating text styles and colours?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Populating Chalk Page Based on Specific JIRA Filter
Asked by Shehak Awan:

Is there a way to dynamically show information on a chalk page based on JIRA filter which I can select from. Then the respective data comes back on the rest of the page based on what I have selected. For example:

If I create a top level JIRA filter that pulls back "All Epics in a certain status". Make this as a drop down selectable field. Then the rest of the chalk page has data that would populate from that epic and I can format in a way that I want someone to see it on the chalk page.  

There is something I was able to do similarly in excel where I can create a list and based on what is selected from that list, the relevant data shows up.


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: I'm guessing a chalk page is just a regular Confluence page? Can you enlighten us?

If it's just a page, you would look through the list of available Jira gadgets, or go through the Atlassian Marketplace and find an add-on that meets your requirements.

comments: author: Shehak Awan
body: Yes confluence page. Sorry, when I say chalk I mean confluence. I think it's just branding of confluence on our end. And I was hoping to understand if there's a macro that would help with this.

Confiforms Parent -> Child Form prepopulation
Asked by Henry Dench:

I have a hierarchy of forms with a ref data form. I am trying to pre-populate the child of the form based off the parent - is there anyway to do this?  

**Layout:**   

Parent  
- Ref Data 1 Smart multi-select  
- Ref Data 2 Smart multi-select  

Child  
- Ref Data 1 Smart multi-select \[pre-populated by entry.parent.refdata1\]  
- Ref Data 2 Smart multi-select \[pre-populated by entry.parent.refdata2\]  

Ref Data  
- Table 1: 1 Column, Text  
- Table 2: 1 Column, Text  

PS - would be nice if the pre-population shows up in the form upon selection of the Parent Value, but not 100% required

Yes you can just have a <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/ConfiForms+Field+Definition+Rules#ConfiFormsFieldDefinitionRules-Setvalue> rule to set the value of the smart multi-row field (expects an ID)

```
child1=[entry.parent.refdata1]&child2=[entry.parent.refdata2]
```

Rule to set on tracking the "parent" field (first parameter in the macro) and with condition to be something like

```
!parent:[empty]

Confluence Database filters and custom views not working...
Asked by Zack Howard:

Hello Atlassian Community! I was wondering if anyone was having these same issues. I am testing out Confluence Databases to see if they could be useful for us and am running into some serious issues.

**Some context:** Our company has traditionally stored a ton of data in various Excel sheets, but I think that most of this data could be migrated to Confluence via the new Databases feature. For example: One of the worksheets I am trying to migrate has all of our project codes stored in it. We have a few different clients and want some way to view the project codes related to those clients. Should be pretty easy, right?

**My solution:** I was thinking of building out a larger Confluence Database that holds all of the project codes for all clients, similar to how they are in the Excel file. What I wanted to do was create different "custom views" filtered by the different clients. I could then embed these custom views onto different pages within Confluence so people would not have to go through and search for the ones they need.

**The problem(s):** I cannot get the filters OR the custom views to work properly!

**First:** When I apply the filter, it is not giving me all of the results it should. It shows just a couple of results, and I do not know why the rest are filtered out. Is there a limit t o the number of rows that a filter can show?

**Second:** Some of the entries don't even follow the filter rules! I am getting results that clearly do not adhere to the filter specifications.

**Third:** Whenever I go to save the custom view, the filter ends up clearing the text field. I create the filter, click "Update View for Everyone", and when I click into another view and come back the filter looks like this:

![Custom Filter Blank.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/330232i649F3A101F30E706/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Custom Filter Blank.png")

Idk why I am having so many issues with these. I understand that Databases are still in Beta, but these are some basic features that *should* be easy to configure. Or am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any tips/advice/suggestions!


Answers:
author: Scott Beeson
body: I just played with this myself (filters and views) and it was *very*erratic. To the point of being unusable.

Conversion to find the resultant effort
Asked by Ramu:

Hey,

I have a scenario/Confluence Table as follows:

The ask is -\> I'm using a Table Transform SQL code to display these values (simple straight forward Table) .. however, the need is to display the remaining effort ..

i.e., .. for 10 Story points, if the overall progress is 50% then i need to display another column 'Remaining effort' as either 50% or 5 Story points ..

i have tried converting the percentage(overall progress) into number OR number(story points) into percentage and then tried subtracting one from another ...

BUT,

logically this is not helping ..coz it is not a direct subtraction as in i cant simply convert

50% to 0.5 and then subtract it from 10 Story points coz the result will be then 9.5 which is incorrect for my ask ..

i.e., .. for 15 Story points, if the overall progress is 90% then i need to display another column 'Remaining effort' as either 10% or 1.5 Story points ..

Also, tried something like this

((T1.'Story Points' \* T1.'Overall Progress')/100 - (T1.'Overall Progress')) as 'Remaining Effort'

Still im missing something as it is not returning the expected result.

In short, how to display the remaining effort in the above scenario !!

Please help ..


Answers:
author: Ramu
body: Found a way to make it work ..

<br />

ABS(((T1.'Story Points' \* T1.'Overall Progress')/100 ) - T1.'Story Points') as 'Remaining SP',  

however, still if any of you have better or alternate thoughts... please share ..

Thanks :)

comments: author: Stiltsoft support
body: You may also try smth like this:

T1.'Story Points' \* (1 - T1.'Overall Progress'/100)

Seems it should be working too.


author: Ramu
body: Great Thanks ..

just a trivial thing that it returned the result as 1.4999999999

i have tweaked it with a ROUND:

Round(T1.'Story Points' \* (1 - T1.'Overall Progress'/100), 1) as 'Remaining SP',

it looks perfect ..

Appreciate and great Thanks again :)

How to set up stages, phases & status workflow ?
Asked by Anusha Sundararajan:

I have a requirement to set up Features / customer issue-type to have different stages like opportunity identification , Pre-development , Development , Post-development with different phases for each of those stages . Each of those phases will have status like - To-do, In-progress, completed . How do Implement this in an effective fashion ?


Answers:
author: Valerie Knapp
body: Hi [@Anusha Sundararajan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5575897) , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question.

My suggestion would be to create a workflow for the Features issue type in Jira with the different phases / statuses you listed, like this (which I did in a team-managed project in my demo instance just to show you)

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/343682i17722EFECDC87EFF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

Then, for each status of the Feature, you can create one or multiple Sub-tasks, which have their own workflow of To do / In Progress / Done to track the activity that is done in each of the statuses / phases of the Feature. You could use an Automation to do this if you wanted.

What do you think? Would this meet your requirement? Do you have any questions or feedback? If so, let me know.

Cheers and good luck!
