Floating TOC in custom ui
Asked by Tim van Dantzig:

Hi everyone,   

I'm making an app for confluence cloud with Custom UI. What I'm trying to make with Custom UI is a floating table of content. For now I've been able to create a table of content. I placed the TOC in a right side bar layout. Now I'm trying to let the TOC float. The problem with letting the TOC float is that it seems to be stuck within an iframe.   
Is there a way to let a TOC float outside of the iframe so the TOC will stay on the top right while scrolling?  

<br />

Kind regards,

Tim

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

If I understood correctly, you are trying to build a custom Confluence app or a custom Confluence macro.

If that is the scenario, although we have some related threads and content in Atlassian Community, most of them are related to the Confluence Server version, which could not be applicable to the Cloud version.

I believe this question would be better answered and get additional help in our [Developer Community](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/), as more users are developing apps and custom macros, and our development team may be able to help with some of those queries. :)

Hope this helps!

Regards,  
Jessica

Any solution about design customized page and do some compute on confluence page
Asked by Owen:

Is there any way to achieve below function on one confluence page:

1. Drop down list as answer to some query;

2. Do some compute with script Runner on click button based on step 1's choice;

3. If no third part plugins (only Script Runner) , can we make it? If need plugin, which plugin can be used for such need?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: James Noah
body: Yes, you can achieve the desired functionality on a Confluence page:

1. **Drop-down List**: You can use Confluence's built-in macros or custom HTML to create a drop-down list.

2. **Compute with Script Runner**: ScriptRunner can execute scripts based on the drop-down selection when a button is clicked.

3. **No Third-Party Plugins** : If only using ScriptRunner, you might be limited in UI customization. For more advanced features, consider the **Forms for Confluence** or **ConfiForms** plugins.

I use this method for [my website](https://bathroomremodelinginfortworth.com/) through HTML and JavaScript to create drop-down lists and handle computations based on user selections.

Try to add Panel Macro and getting error

Create dynamic dropdown that can take value from more than one confiform field
Asked by Pratyush:

I have two fields in confiform named 'field1' and 'field2'. I am using dynamic dropdown to show values entered by users as a suggestion when a new value is entered for both fields. By default, you can select 'field1' in dynamic dropdown to display user entered values. However, I want 'field1' to show suggestions for both 'field1' and 'field2' entries in dynamic dropdown. Is there a way it can accept entries from both fields in a dynamic dropdown?

Link macro REST API

where

{ref} - Title another confluence page

{name} - Showed link name

But this doesn't work for me. When i am trying to create page with API using this code i getting error.

I have found another example which works for me

```
<ac:link><ri:page ri:content-title="{ref}" /></ac:link>
```

where

{ref} - Title another confluence page

but i can't set link name.

How i can create link to another Confluence page with link name setting?

P. s.

Common link creating is not suitable for me  

```
<a href="{ref}">{name}</a>
```


Answers:
author: Armin Meyer (Seibert - Coderay)
body: Hi,

if an additional App is an option for you. We have developed "AutoPage" that covers the whole topic of automated page creation. You canset the link name but the main value is the possibility to create pages from templates with jira issue content. So you get pages with content you already produced in Jira without manual effort (and manual errors).

You can find it in the marketplace and try it for free:

Confluence database
Asked by Luna.lee:

After creating a database in confluence, is there a way to prevent it from being modified? Currently, there is a problem where anyone can easily modify values ??after creating a database.


Answers:

Yes.

A) Space level permissions - Databases are treated as Pages

I see! If you were using the [**Get space**](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-space/#api-wiki-rest-api-space-spacekey-get) endpoint, indeed it is deprecated and could not work in your script.

The [Get space by ID](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-space/#api-spaces-id-get) in the v2 REST API should work, in case this is what you were missing there.

From the Screenshot, the space key appears to be the correct one.

Could you share what REST API endpoint you are using so we can investigate further why it is failing?

In case you are following a documentation and have the URL link, that would be helpful as well.

How do I set up a bug tracker similar to the Minecraft bug tracker.
Asked by 8Crafter:

How do I set up a bug tracker similar to the Minecraft bug tracker. I need it to be set up in a way where ANYONE can report a bug report on it. while using the free plan. The current problem I am having it making it so anyone can make the bug reports without it contributing to the 10-user limit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would have used the standard plan but at 8 dollars a month PER USER plus the fact that anyone creating an account to submit a bug report will count as one of those users (increasing the price), it is just wayyyyyyyyy too expensive.


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@8Crafter](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5584579)

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

I don't know anything about the Minecraft bug tracker, but you can either:

1. Use an Issue Collector to enable users to report issues without having direct access to your Jira instance, and therefore having no impact on your licensed users.   
<https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/use-the-issue-collector/>

OR

2. Use the [Jira Service Management product](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/service-management) where you can have an unlimited number of Customers reporting issues through a Customer Portal while only your licensed Service Team Agents have direct access to the Jira Service Management project and UI.

comments: author: 8Crafter
body: Is there any way to make it so that ANYONE can see all of the issues/bug reports (not just the ones that they had reported).

An example of this is: <https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/WEB-7439?jql=>


author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@8Crafter](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5584579)

Are you asking with regards to the Free Jira product or the Free Jira Service Management product?

The site that you referenced appears to be using Jira Server or Jira Data Center, not Jira Cloud.

With a paid subscription for Jira Cloud you could enable public/anonymous access to your project. With the Free version you cannot modify the access/permissions in that manner. Access is granted only to the people to whom you have granted access to your Jira product. When you grant them access to your Jira product, that increases your licensed user count. So if you are asking with regard to the Free Jira product then the answer is no.

If you are willing to subscribe to the product for a limited number of users, then you could enable Public/Anonymous access to the one project where you would want to allow anybody to create issues and see the content. Note that the access would be anonymous, so you would not be capturing the name of the issue reporter unless they filled that in manually in a text field.

How to display the top level parent and children in structure
Asked by nkmori_rtx_com:

structure Version 9.1.0

The custom issue type appears as I'm using a JQL to show it (insert), . The inserted issue type (JQL) type is not the top level issue type of the Hierarchy.

You decide the hierarchy via the generators on your structure so you should be able to do this.

Can you screenshot the current automation (generator) you have configured?

Sprint Completed email with Issue status

Then Lookup issues: sprint IN ("{{sprint.name}}")

And Send email:

{{sprint.name}} completed. Here is the status of all the issues in the sprint:

{{#lookupIssues}} \* {{key}} - {{summary}} - {{Issue.status.name}} {{/}}

I'm trying to filter by tickets created from 9pm-8am
Asked by Allen Stone:

I'm trying to filter tickets that were created between 9pm-8am. Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Allen Stone](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4733225)

Jira does not natively provide a method to filter for issues based on only the time portion of the Created date/timestamp.

You could use a custom field and an Automation rule to populate that custom field with just the time portion of the date/timestamp, and then filter based on that custom field.

You also might find a third party app that adds that capability to JQL. There are several apps that extend JQL capabilities.

Is there a way to link a sprint to a Fix Version/Release?
Asked by Japneet Chandhok:

Is there a away to link or assign a sprint to a release version? Historically, and currently, I've been tagging each ticket to a fix version, but my team is wondering if we can actually tag the entire sprint to a release version. I've looked through the articles and resources and can't seem to find anything.


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Japneet Chandhok](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5584476)

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

That specific capability does not exist.

What problem are you trying to solve by associating a Sprint to a release version? Perhaps we can suggest an alternate solution.

comments: author: Japneet Chandhok
body: It's just a matter of efficiency. Currently, we assign a Fix Version (release) to each ticket (ex. a user story). However, the way our team is moving, we have aligned our sprints to our release schedule, as we go out with fixes and enhancements roughly every 3 weeks. As such, every ticket in the sprint tends to be part of the same Release, and so I was wondering if there was a simpler way by assigning a sprint to a specific release/fix version, as opposed to having to go into each and every ticket within the sprint to assign it to the same release/fix version.

Thank you,

Japneet


author: Trudy Claspill
body: You might be able to do something like add the Fix Version name to the Sprint description, and then have an Automation Rule that runs based on Sprint Completion, that parses out that data, finds the corresponding Fix Version, and sets the Fix Version for each completed issue in the Completed sprint.


author: Japneet Chandhok
body: Ok, thank you. I will look into the articles and resources on setting up automation rules.

Also, is it possible at all to set up a call with someone from support community, if we wanted to do a screen share to help explain something we're trying to do and need help/guidance with?


author: Trudy Claspill
body: The community is not a paid support team. We all do this voluntarily.

There is not a general option to schedule time to meet live with community members. Help is generally provided asynchronously through the community posts.

You can certainly ask responders if they are willing to meet with you. Or you can open a support case directly with Atlassian to ask for live help. Or you could consider engaging an Atlassian Solution Partner for ongoing direct support.

'Team-managed software' project - Child issues not showing in Backlog
Asked by Kati Driscoll:

Hello,

I have a 'Team-managed software' project. Is there any way for child issues to appear in the Backlog view?

We have a task with 10 child issues and different developers are working on each of those child issues. We use Board view for our scrums, but since child issues cannot be shown there I wanted to see if they can be shown in the Backlog view. It would be helpful to be able to see the child issues so that each developer sees their workload and priorities when they filter by their own name.

Thank you,

Kati


Answers:

body: Hi, [@Kati Driscoll](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4973343) ?

Are you referring to linked issues or subtasks? I'm guessing that when you say "child issues" you are referring to subtasks.

Subtasks are not depicted in the backlog because they cannot be ranked or moved to a sprint independent of the parent.

Have you tried creating the view you desire in the [List view](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/New-List-view-in-Jira-Software/qaq-p/2673943)? I have not, but I suspect one can create such a view this way.
