Datacenter license for plugin developer
Asked by priyanka deshmukh:

The current free licenses provided by confluence for plugin developers and for trial purpose has limitations where we cannot make a confluence page public.

If I go to **Global Permissions** in confluence this is the message displayed under **"Anonymous Access"** section

*"Make your Confluence site public. You can choose which spaces anonymous users can access. Anonymous users are not included in your license count."*

I am developing a plugin which uses "Anonymous Access" feature while accessing confluence page. Can someone please help me out by providing a trial license which will enable this feature.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, that would be a breach of your licence agreement and that of the person signing up for it.

You should be using a developer licence for this, not a trial.

Template Child Page
Asked by Nour:

I'm wondering how I can create a fixed template for a child page? i.e. if any new page is created linked to the same parent it will automatically be created with the built in macros I desire. Especially since each child page will come with the metadata plugins and their names, so it will make it easier for creator to just add in data instead of adding in macros as well.


Answers:
author: Heth Siemer
body: Howdy Nour!  

Templates are an out of the box feature in Confluence! Go to your space admin context and go to **Content Tools** . You'll be able to configure a fixed, blank template that users can then use in your space. Note: You cannot add attachments to a template.  

You can then add a **Create from Template** macro on the parent page and link it to your desired template. When the user clicks on that button, then it will automatically create a child page using the template you created!

Server/DC Template Documentation: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-template-296093779.html>  
Cloud Template Documentation: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-template/>  

Bonus: You can add a **Space Shortcut** to your sidebar that when clicked, will create a page from the template and create it under the correct parent page!  

1. Add the basic **Create From Template**macro to a page pointing to the template to be used and save the page.
2. In **View Mode,** right click on the **Create from Template** button and select **Copy Link Address**
3. Paste the URL in a Note Pad or another page to view it
4. In the URL, locate the **Template ID** (the series of numbers following *?templateId=* in the URL)  
   Store this number as your **Template ID** *Example: 941293591*
5. Navigate to the page that will be the parent page of the pages created using the link being created
6. **Edit** the page
7. The URL at the top of the page will display the editpage URL for that page
8. **Copy** the **Page ID** (the series of numbers following *?pageID=* in the URL)  
   Store this number as your **Page ID** *Example: 939186366*
9. Identify your **Space Key.** You can find this information in the Overview section of space settings. *Example: WRITERSBLOCK*
10. Using the Basic URL and the Page ID found in steps 1 \& 2 build your URL based on this example, replacing each variable AND the \[ \] brackets

    ```
    https://chalk.charter.com/pages/createpage-entervariables.action?templateId=[Template ID]&spaceKey=[Space Key]&fromPageId=[Page ID]
    ```

    ```
    https://chalk.charter.com/pages/createpage-entervariables.action?templateId=941293591&spaceKey=WRITERSBLOCK&fromPageId=939186366
    ```

Blank page
Asked by TEH d.o.o.:

Does anyone have experience with a blank page when entering the page link?

Any advice on solving this issue besides clearing cache? It has been 10 days like this...


Answers:
author: Michael.Tovbin
body: My issue was caused by Redux DevTools Chrome extension. I was getting a blank content page when extension is enabled, and everything works as expected when I disable it.


author: Jessica
body: Hi there!

Welcome to Atlassian Community.  

I'm not sure if I got what exactly the issue you're having.   
Are you getting a blank page when trying to access a page link in your site?  

If that is the case, are you able to access other pages normally?  
Are having issues with only one page, does that work accessing the page if you use an **incognito** window or another browser?  

If it only works when accessing on incognito or clearing the cache cookies, there may be some environment issues you would like to test such as:

* Manually **disable** **temporarily** the **browser** **extensions** to avoid any of them possibly blocking the content to be loaded.
* Clearing the cache from all time (or at least from the last 4 weeks)
* Making sure the browser is up to date and is one of the [Supported browsers list](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/supported-browsers-744721663.html)

In case none of those works, we may need to look further on it, but let us know if any of those steps, works!  

Hope to hear from you soon!

Kindest Regards,  
Jessica

**There was an error submitting the page restrictions. Please try again later.**


Answers:
author: Suvradip Paul
body: Hi [@vinay](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4469525) ,

Thanks for your post and reporting in this community.

1. Sorry, you have not mentioned the version as you are you are using server and not cloud. I am assuming the latest - 7.12(you can change it from drop down), if you go and check this link in documentation for space permissions - - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html> . Check the **Permissions** screen.
2. To check the page restrictions of individual pages in space, please check this documentation on page restrictions - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html> .
3. Please check these notes in Page Restrictions above link-
   * **You can't exclude yourself**   
     When you apply a restriction, Confluence will automatically add you to the list. You can't remove yourself from this list.
   * **Space Admin and System Administrator access to restricted pages**   
     Users with 'Admin' permissions in a space, or users with the System Administrator global permission can remove restrictions from pages, even if the page restriction prevents them from viewing the page. Go to **Space Administration** \> **Restricted Pages** .

I hope you would be able to solve this with this.

Please accept the answer if it solves your query else please respond and allow others to respond.

Stay safe and healthy.

Cheers

Table Transformer - Maintain hyperlinks to JIRA tickets after FORMATWIKI
Asked by Andy Keaveney:

Hi there,

I am using the table transformer to merge the results of two queries from JIRA.

There is a many to one mapping between the Requirement "Key" and the "Test Case Key", "Test Case Status" etc.

When creating the table, I use FORMATWIKI to merge the results from the test cases, as I only want one row in the table per "Key". I use this JQL to do so....

SELECT T1.'Key', T1.'TER Key',T1.'TER Resolution', T1.'TER Summary', T1.'TER Status', T1.'elaborates', T1.'Description',

FORMATWIKI(SUM(T1.'TER Key' + "\\n")) AS 'Test Case Key',

FORMATWIKI(SUM(T1.'TER Summary' + "\\n")) AS 'Test Case Summary',

FORMATWIKI(SUM(T1.'TER Status' + "\\n")) AS 'Test Case Status',

FORMATWIKI(SUM(T1.'TER Resolution' + "\\n")) AS 'Pass/Fail'

![Picture for JIRA community1.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150527i0D52B5E03D6A1AAE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Picture for JIRA community1.JPG")

However, when I do this, I lose the hyperlink to the Test Case.

Is there a way to maintain the hyperlink in 'test case key', for both of the JIRA tickets?

Any help is much appreciated.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Andy Keaveney](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4469470) ,

Try to modify your SQL query in a following way:

SELECT  
FORMATWIKI(SUM(" \[" + T1.'Key' + "\|[http://jira.stiltsoft.by:address/browse/](http://jira.stiltsoft.by:address/browse/?)" + T1.'Key' + "\]\\n")) AS 'Key'  
FROM T1

Here **T1.'Key'** is a column name where you want to create clickable links (T1.'TER Key' for your example).

**[http://jira.stiltsoft.by:address/browse/](http://jira.stiltsoft.by:address/browse/?)** - is the path to your Jira tickets (the first part of the link address). The modified query will add values from the T1.'Key' column and combine the whole clickable links.

Hi

When I export page to pdf, turkish characters are not converted.


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hello Didem,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!  

As it may be needed further assistance on that, I have raised a support request ticket for you, you can check it on: [JST-675487](https://getsupport.atlassian.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/23/JST-675487)

It is possible that you would need to upload a font (TTF or TTC font file) on your Confluence site in order to be able to export the PDF with the characters desired.

But if you are unable to, we can provide further assistance on the support request.  
You should have received an e-mail with more details about it. :)

I have seen this happen when something in the macro is corrupting it. Thus usually happens when you cut and paste content into the macro or on the page. Have you tried adding and additional expand macro and just typing in some content to see if it works as expected?

Problem with TAGing Confluence Page for user without licence.
Asked by Kamil Surowiec:

Case:  
For a client we are implementing a solution where an account (a service desk customer) without a license, should be able to get access to confluence wiki.  
The service desk project is correctly connected to confluence, with 'all users, even without license can access confluence' option.  
The mentioned account can search the knowledgebase within the service desk, and even access the direct page link to confluence.

Problem:  
one of key requirements from the client is page labeling, and searching related pages by labels.  
When following the previously mentioned scenario, we select any of the page's label and we cannot proceed due to restriction of access. This behaviour is persistent regardless if pages with the same label are within one space or across different spaces.

What we tried:  
-anonymus access enabled across whole space  
-anonymus access enabled across whole instance (this is a intranet instance)

Question:  
Is this expected behaviour for labels?  
Is there any way we could achieve our goals either using built in confluence options or 3-rd party addons?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Kamil Surowiec](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4457554) Welcome to the Atlassian Community

We have had the same issue. If you are providing access to Confluence through the service desk then labels will not work. If you make the space through anonymous access the label links will work. Follow this KB <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/make-a-space-public-829076202.html>

Linking tasks to milestones but not driving the logic
Asked by Alasdair McKie:

We have a list of programme milestones that need to be delivered on certain dates. There is a requirement to deliver them on agreed dates but also have linked activities into them providing a description of what activities will support the milestone. Within Jira you can outline the relationship which will drive the milestone date to the right or left depending on the delivery of that milestone. However, I want to show the relationship between task and milestone but not drive the date.

What is the best way of showing this relationship and managing the milestones.

Thank you.

Indeed in both plugins, you can link selected tasks with a milestone to have a full view of all activities supporting a given milestone. To prevent tasks from affecting the milestone date, you can simply disable the ASAP mode.  
However, if the situation demands scheduling the work, you can at any time re-enable ASAP mode at any time, which will activate the scheduling mechanism.

Restore same name pages from trash should not overwrite the existing page
Asked by Ollie Guan:

I understand that I have 2 options when restoring pages from the trash, but the space administrator is not as familiar with Confluence as the system administrator.

I also found a similar requirement and was rejected, but I think this is a system bug and should be fixed.

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-32117>

For DC users, I can only find the information by restoring the complete database from the backup.

Just like when I created a new page, the system asked me whether to overwrite the original page. After selecting Yes, the original page history is gone, and there is no trash; it feels more appropriate to rename it by default here, at least one The process of buffering.

Smart links break on requirements index page, after updating child page
Asked by Patrick Metz:

Greetings,

when I create a [product requirement page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/blog/2015/08/how-to-document-product-requirements-in-confluence) in Confluence Cloud the corresponding requirements *index page* shows the smart links to embedded epic issues just fine.

But when I re-publish a requirement page (even without any changes) the corresponding smart link of the epic, on the requirement *index page*, gest permanently reduced to an ordinary link.

Does anyone know if that's a known issue, or if I might be doing something wrong, or how I might work around it? I already tried reverting the sub pages to earlier revisions and duplicating them, to no avail.

Bests, Patrick


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi [@Patrick Metz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2058657) ,

You've nailed the steps to reproduce this problem with the Page Properties Report macro (what's generating that table on the index page). Unfortunately this is a known bug in Confluence Cloud - it's documented [as CONFCLOUD-69881 on our public Jira instance](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-69881).

By removing the Jira links on the requirements pages, re-adding them, and then re-publishing the requirement page, you can sometimes get the smart links to come back. This is not ideal, and doesn't always work to restore the smart link.

Watching the issue and voting by clicking "This affects my team" on our public Jira instance will help prioritize the issue. You can see in the comments that work was started previously to fix the bug but was de-prioritized due to complexity. Additional votes and watchers help the product managers prioritize against other initiatives.
