What does the search field in the middle bar in SourceTree actually search?
Asked by Taus M?ller:

There is a search field right in the middle of sourcetree interface int Log/history and Search tabs. What does this actually search. It does not seem to actually do something. It is driving me nuts to have a search field so prominently displayed, yet i can't even figure out what it is supposed to be searching.

This is the search field i am talking about:search.png

I have tried numerous times to type something and search, only to instantly remember that it does nothing.

Answers:
author: Taus M?ller
body: After some testing, I found one case where the search field actually does something. If you have uncommitted changes and have them selected, it will search the file names of the changes. Note, this is ONLY for uncommited change sets if you select an actual commit the search bar still does nothing

However i feel like there has to be something more to it since it seems like a very prominent place to put such a limited feature.

SourceTree setup wizard is broken.
Asked by howlee:

I am trying to set up sourcetree on a new mac.

I run through the required 3 step setup wizard.

At step 3, it asks me to connect my Atlassian account. I press "use existing account", and login in the resulting popup.

It shows me a mobile view of the "Manage you account" page, with a Save button, a mobile menu icon, and a "Cancel" button, and a Log out link.

There is no "Next", or "Okay great I'm done now". So I have to either "Log out" or "Cancel". There is no way to finish the frieken wizard!!

I get the following error message only for one page in our confluence space.

The issue should resolve on its own, but if it keeps happening, ask your admin to contact [our support team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/) and give them:

ConfiForm Date Field saving wrong data
Asked by Maximilian Herbert:

Hey there,

so I have the following problem:  
In my Form I have a field "field1" with the type "Date". As formatting pattern I set YYYY.MM

Whenever someone fills the form it saves a "wrong" date.... So e.g:

I pick 2025.08 then the saves entry says 2025.12

If I pick 2025.03 the record says 2025.01.

It seems like somehow the date gets rounded to either month 12 of the year or month 1....

Did anyone experience that before?

Install Confluence on AWS via Kubernetes
Asked by AM:

Hi all!

I am trying to install Confluence using [this documentation](https://atlassian.github.io/data-center-helm-charts/userguide/INSTALLATION/) on AWS. I managed to complete all of the steps, but when Kubernetes at the end tries to schedule a confluence pod to run on one of the nodes I get an error (via command kubectl describe nodes) like  

0/2 nodes are available: 2 Insufficient cpu. preemption: 0/2 nodes are available: 2 No preemption victims found for incoming pod.

I tried googling and supposedly this means that the pods have no available CPU capacity, so I event tried propping up 4 nodes, but still the same error.

There are definitely available resources so I'm confused by the message.


Answers:

author: Yevhen
body: [@AM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4205662) perhaps your nodes do not have enough cpu or memory. You may want to override the [default requests](https://github.com/atlassian/data-center-helm-charts/blob/main/src/main/charts/confluence/values.yaml#L759)

Adding more nodes won't help if they are the same nodes with less than 2 vCPU available. You may need to use larger nodes or decrease cpu request.

comments: author: AM
body: Hi Yevhen, thank you!

I will try that, but IMHO this deployment should have been tested by Atlassian, since these are the default values.


author: Yevhen
body: The deployments are continuously tested. The default values are close to prod values, and having 2 vCPU available isn't a huge resources request, imho.

Table Transformer SQL issue with CASE WHEN and condition
Asked by renaud staessens:

Hi community i struggled a lot to try to find a root cause with no success. I try to count number of test failed , number of test succees for requirements.

I m using table transfomer to do some sl request on a table

I have the following request :SELECT T1.'Requirement',  
SELECT T1.'Requirement',  
COUNT(DISTINCT 'Tests') AS 'Number of Tests',  
COUNT(DISTINCT('Bugs')) AS 'NbBugs',  
COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN COALESCE('T1.TestStatut','' ) **AND INSTR('T1.TestStatut', "FAIL")\>0** then 'T1.TestStatut' END) AS 'Failed' // i m searching for (FAIL TEST-ID string) to count number of distinct failed tests  
FROM T1  
GROUP BY T1.'Requirement'  
If i have the and clause then i 'm facing athis error : ***TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'indexOf').***  
So i thought it was due to the fact that sometimes TestStatus can we empty (or null) reason why i added the **COALESCE**('T1.TestStatut','' ) clause to have always something not empty in th teststaus .  
Now if i remove the INSTR() function i don't have the error ...  
original table looks like this  
Requirement, Bug-ID, Tests,Bugs ,TestStatus (FAIL/PASS/TODO)


Answers:
author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@renaud staessens](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/557714),  

Please use the auto complete hints given by the Table Transformer macro while typing the SQL query. The first thing that I saw were the 'T1.TestStatut' parts. It is not correct in general: T1.'TestStatus' is a correct variant (the quotes shouldn't include the T1. part and the column name should be identical to the one that you really have in your table).  
Now please try the following SQL query for the case:  

![Mon 7-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/285231i3830AE4925744270/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 7-1.png")  

SELECT  
'Requirement',  
COUNT(DISTINCT 'Tests') AS 'Number of Tests',  
COUNT(DISTINCT('Bugs')) AS 'Number of Bugs',  
COUNT(DISTINCT 'Failed Tests') AS 'Number of Failed Tests'  
FROM(  
SELECT \*,  
CASE WHEN 'TestStatus' IS "FAIL"  
THEN 'Tests'  
END  
AS 'Failed Tests'  
FROM T1)  
GROUP BY 'Requirement'

Ticket templates for confluence?
Asked by Mathias Mohrs:

Hello,  
i'm looking for a tool with which i can create ticket templates such as user stories or bugs. Within this tool i want to be able to predefine stuff like components, Epics, labels etc.

On a previous company we had the possibility to do it via confluence by using code like

"href="<https://jira.cgm.ag/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa>  
?pid=45900  
\&issuetype=14  
\&priority=3  
\&components=85703  
\&customfield_10700=13500  
\&customfield_13410=13106  
etc."

After setting it up there was a button which - when clicked - opened a new tab with a jira ticket and the predefined entries.

But i cannot see it within the new companys confluence. Do we need a widget for that like "markup" or something? Or can you suggest a tool for Jira where i can set up everything?

Best regards  
Mathias

Cloning pages on Confluence
Asked by Lucas de Souza:

Hello everyone.

We have a weekly meeting in which we post the notes on confluence and name the page weekly meeting Date is XX.XX.XXX.

My question is at the moment we manually clone the page and change the name with the new date on the header, is there any way of doing that automatically maybe with an automation, script or macro?

Thanks a lot.


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Lucas de Souza](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5333980)

You can do this using Automation.

You need to create the Template page first, which will be used to create the page:

* Go to Space Settings
* Under Look and Feel, select Templates
* Select the Create New Template button in the top-right corner, and create the Template

*** ** * ** ***

Next, you can create the Automation Rule (from the relevant menu in Space Settings):

* **Trigger:** Scheduled
  * Set the run rate here - eg. once per week
* **Action:** Publish New Page
  * Set Space / Parent Page
    * Page Title = Weekly Meeting - Date {{now.convertToTimeZone("Pacific/Pago_Pago").format("dd/MM/yyyy")}}
  * Set Template Space / Template

*** ** * ** ***

\^ There's a smart value above for the date:

```
{{now.convertToTimeZone("Pacific/Pago_Pago").format("dd/MM/yyyy")}}
```

This ensures...

* The date is set to now
* The timezone entered is correct, otherwise it defaults to UTC. You can see a full list of available timezones here: <https://joda-time.sourceforge.net/timezones.html>
* The format is set as required (you can change this as needed)

Let us know if this works!
