How can Table Transformer merge tables that exist across multiple Confluence spaces?
Asked by Rolf Kraus:

It is unclear how I can merge or lookup at tables that exist across different Confluence spaces into a summary 'roll-up' table. The workaround I see includes creating a 'utility' space, where I insert all the table excerpts into Table Transformer from each originating space, where Table Transformer creates the merged table.

From there, I can use that excerpt from that table in other spaces. This seems like an onerous process, but it leaves me with the one resulting table that can be used in a space of choice.

Any insight is appreciated.

body: Hi [@Rolf Kraus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/446989) ,

If you need to merge your tables placed across different spaces, you may collect these tables by labels and merge them using the Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros (tick the "Show as a report table" option in the Table Excerpt Include macro).

To look up tables, you may collect several tables on the same page using the Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros, then do the transformation via the Table Transformer macro and then reuse the result table once more - just as you've described in the original question.

Why can't I contact product support?
Asked by Matt Hurt:

Hello,

My company has purchased a couple of licenses from Atlassian however, I need support on a technical issue for an upgrade I'm trying to perform. However, when I navigate to the support request, I'm prompted to enter in the URL to our Confluence site which your system can't find. This server is on a non-internet facing or closed network to where the intended effect is for your system to not find it.

I would really appreciate support reaching out to me for the issue that I'm having with a version upgrade 7.19 ---\> 8.5.0

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I think you may have tried to raise a request for support with Confluence Cloud. That asks you for the URL of your site so that Atlassian can quickly identify which site it is.

The server/DC request will not ask for a URL, but your "Support entitlement number" or SEN. There are instructions on the page for finding it if you don't know it.

Page Properties Report: Display as columns instead of rows
Asked by James Deguara:

I am using a **page properties macro** in one confluence page and an accompanying **page properties report macro** in another page. This works fine, but although I can specify the information in columns in the **page properties macro,** I do not have the option to display the information in columns in the **page properties report macro.**

Is there anyway around this as it really does not make sense to display the data in rows:

E.g

**page properties macro**

**Name:**John Smith

**Email:** jsmith@email.com

**Country:**Malta

Displays in the **page properties report macro**as:

**Name Email Country**

John Smith jsmith@email.com Malta

But I want to display the date in the same orientation as the **page properties macro**

comments: author: James Deguara
body: Hi [@Dan Breyen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5086375)thanks for your reply, but neither of these tickets describe the same issue I am raising.

I really believe we should be able to display information in columns or rows in the page properties report macro. Especially as they may be entered in columns in the page properties macro to start with.


author: Dan Breyen
body: Bummer [@James Deguara](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5420161) you can always open a ticket with [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/) and get their take on it. They can probably confirm if it's a bug or not.

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You have said you are using Confluence Cloud, but you have been reading documentation for Server/Data-center.

Confluence Cloud does not have a "save draft" option, as it auto-saves.


author: Nikola Perisic
body: Welcome to Atlassian community [@Bibek Patro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5420118) !

Instead having the save draft now there is the "Close draft" option that automatically saves your page as a draft without publishing:![Screenshot 2024-02-01 at 14.47.27.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/303747i0AAFA1820A5C9B9F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-02-01 at 14.47.27.png")

comments: author: Kristian Klima
body: [@Nikola Perisic](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5166624)

Obviously, the downside of this Confluence feature is that you can't work with your drafted content in the view mode (extremely important when drafting product documentation and doing extensive content changes).

Sorry, a pet peeve of mine :)


author: Nikola Perisic
body: [@Kristian Klima](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5074962)

Yeah...maybe we can make a new request? :)


author: Kristian Klima
body: [@Nikola Perisic](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5166624) Let's go for it! Two rising stars might be difficult to ignore :D

Here's the draft, how do you suggest we procede?

I want to be able to toggle between the saved draft and the published version of a page in the View mode.

* work with drafts without editing for large-scale content revisions
* allow stakeholders without editing rights to review drafted documents
* avoid unnecessary page versions (users naturally gravitate towards the blue publishing button.

Draft is saved - and can be displayed in the Edit mode, thus it should not be complicated to display it.


author: Kristian Klima
body: [@Bibek Patro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5420118) If you click **Save Draft/Close** button (next to blue Publish/Update button) your draft will be saved but the latest changes will not be displayed in the View mode.

Sadly, Atlassian has stopped giving the support for the server instances. Alternatively, if you have a cloud instance - in here this is the paid version in order to get the support for your instance, you can refer to Atlassian about this issue.

This is the only way that you can reach them out for the server problems. They should be able to help you out about this.

Hello,

Answers:

body: Hi [@Houssein Barkallah](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4942231)

Since you are on Data Center, this is something that you will have to query the database behind Confluence for.  

This doc is a good starting point for identifying the pages that have been updated in a date range: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-export-a-list-of-all-recently-modified-content-within-a-space-996643476.html>  

Please note the queries in this doc are for PostgreSQL and MySQL DBs and would need to be modified to work with other DB types.

Hope this helps,

Confluence whiteboard updating Jira tickets fields
Asked by louis.leforestier:

Hello,

I am in a team which use Jira to handle tickets in a kanban board and a backlog.

We would like to have something more visual and interactive than our backlog and our kanban to support our scrum ceremonies. We can already have our tickets in the whiteboard, but we would like to possibly modify fields of a ticket by interacting with them on the whiteboard.

For example, our tickets would be placed in the "To Do" column on a Kanban Board on the Whiteboard and by moving it to the "In Progress" column, the ticket update its status in Jira.

Is it planned to have implementation for this use case ?

Until that approval has ben granted, you won't be able to access the site.
