Can cards be locked onto a list?
Asked by Steve S:

I use Trello for my schedule book, and every so often I find a card has moved to another list. It says I moved it, so I am guessing I inadvertently move it laterally somehow. Is there a way to lock a card onto a list so that it can't move to another list accidentally?

body: Hi Steve,

No, there's not a way to lock a card into a specific list. You could [submit this to Trello as a feature request.](https://help.trello.com/article/724-submitting-feature-requests-for-trello)
Creating Confluence\Wiki instance (Academy) for my product for specific users
Asked by Ofer Regev:

Hi  

We are looking to create a Wiki environment for our product users (Customers) - Product Acadamey, and I know that we can create a space for anonymous users, so it will be open for everyone even if they are not our customers   

Is it possible to restrict Confluence's permissions only for our customer without including them as part of our Jira\\Conflunce users (Paying users), even if it means that we need to manage the list somewhere else  

Thanks  
Ofer


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The only way to do this would be to enable "anonymous" access, which opens up a space to the entire world.

If you wish to limit access, you have to have people log in, so you know who they are and can apply rules on what they can see. And that means they count to your paid user list.

comments: author: Ofer Regev
body: Thanks Nic - Appreciate the help  

Found also this Add-on that might restrict the readers only to customers by using the password functionality

Renaming of Active Directory groups is breaking permissions
Asked by stefan_baader_cpp_canon:

We have (mostly yearly) the problem that organizational groups are renamed in Active Directory (department names are changing etc.) and the impact is that a lot of group names in Confluence also changes (= old groups are removed, new groups are created and memberships added). In all spaces where this groups are permitted the permissions are broken. How can this be avoided or worked around?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@stefan_baader_cpp_canon](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4345023) Welcome to community. Confluence uses Crowd connector when connecting to LDAP. The connector unfortunately does not support LDAP name changes. There are requests for this functionality in Confluence, Jira and Crowd.

* [https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-9159](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-9159??)

I believe that this work around will work. I would suggest testing it in a development environment first. <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-rename-a-group-and-preserve-its-permissions-948228977.html>

is it possible to customize html export similar to PDF Stylesheet for PDF export?

comments: author: Sandhya Sriram
body: Hi Vero,

Thank you for your reply. These customizations I have done for **PDF** export, which works fine. However, when I convert few pages to HTML (using Custom Export), there is no way I can apply a stylesheet (something similar to PDF stylesheet is what I am looking for). For example, I want the font to be Open Sans and the Heading 1 and 2 in Blue color. These were possible using the PDF Stylesheet only for PDF conversion, but not for HTML conversion.

There is a cascading style sheet available within the **styles** folder named **site**. However, modifying that CSS is not of much help.

Right now what I do is convert the required pages to doc (page by page) add all the pages together and then save that as HTML.

Unable to put Code Block to Expand Macro
Asked by Vuong Ngo:

Answers:
author: Vuong Ngo
body: Thanks for replying me. But I still do not get your points. I tried with these steps:

- Choose "Expand" from "Insert" dropdown

- Publish

- Edit page

- Open Expand above and add code block (by Insert -\> Code snippet)

-\>I see Code Block jumps out of Expand.

Please help me. Many thanks


author: J Fincher
body: I'm having the same issue. What I want to accomplish it to have a well formatted code section (in this particular case, a SQL query) as part of a document for others to read/review. I want the code section inside of the expand macro so users do not have to constantly scroll past the query to get to later parts of the document. It makes the page look neater.


author: Carla Ann Rowland
body: So please clarify what you are trying to accomplish with the code block. The code block is a display box not an executable box.


author: Carla Ann Rowland
body: You have to create expand macro. Then add code block inside expand block. Cannot create simultaneously.
Sharing Team Calendar WebDAV or ICS with external customers
Asked by Patrick Welsh:

Hi,

I apologies if this question has been asked before or if existing documentation addresses this question.

I support operations for a project that has a number of tasks and deadlines that must be completed by our customers. Is it possible for a Confluence Team Calendar to be shared with external customers, either as WebDAV or .ics, and to be able to update that calendar as new tasks or milestones are generated? Customers are likely using Outlook or Google Calendars.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Patrick Welsh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4344520) Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You can manually create an export of the Calendar to iCalendar file and share that with them. You would have to send out an update manually and I do not know if that would overwrite the one that you already sent or not. I believe they would end up with duplicate calendar items but you would have to test to confirm.

Jira Macro for filter results doesnt allow Team field to be displayed, even though its an option
Asked by Alan Tragarz:

Create a jira filter. Edit a confluence page and embed the JIra Issues Filter macro into the page. In the configuration pop up, after selecting a filter, you are presented with a list of fields including Team. Add that field to the list of fields to display and the field doesnt get displayed. Note the field is included as a column in the JIra filter and moreover, if one creates a gadget in a Jira Dashboard of the same type, the team field IS displayed!

The workaround is create a dashboard in Jira, and embed it into the Confluence page using the iframe macro. Not pretty but it works


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there [@Alan Tragarz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2296455)!

As I understand, when you add the Team field to be displayed in the Jira Issues macro, the field is not displayed.

When I try to display the field, it is present:
> ![Screen Shot 2021-04-12 at 14.26.05.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/139032i82FE36088EC87E74/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-04-12 at 14.26.05.png")

The field is empty there because my Jira test instance is not graced with Premium features, such as the usage of the Team field in Jira issues:

With this in mind, I would like to understand the following:
> 1. Is the macro displayed at all if you include the Team field in the macro settings?
> 2. When you display the Team field in Jira, is it populated?
> 3. Would it be possible for you to provide screenshots of what you see when the macro is added?

Just be sure not to disclose any sensitive information with the screenshots. Our community is an open space and everyone can see everything posted here!

Let us hear from you.

Can't edit text
Asked by michaeljohnston0:

I just started using JIRA today.

I am editing the description of my issue. I have a code block. Working on Mac app.

At various times the following are happening:

* I type a hyphen "-". The editor scrolls to another part of the text.
* I type a line break while in the code block. The editor does not insert a new line.
* I use COMMAND + Left to try to jump to the beginning of the line. Nothing happens. It works.
* I use COMMAND + Up to try to jump to the top. The cursor moves but it does not scroll.
* While in a code block, I type the up arrow, to move to the line above. Nothing happens.

What the heck? I'm gonna have to use this professionally... This is a nightmare waiting to happen.

How can I set global email notification settings for all Confluence users?
Asked by Shaheeb Roshan:

I would like to be able to set the following default email notification settings for all existing and new Confluence users:

* Autowatch: true
* Subscribe to recommended updates: true
* All other notifications: false

If a user is inclined to, then that person can turn on/off any of these. I'm looking to set the defaults to improve the experience for less-experienced or infrequent users within Confluence. I would rather not have to send each user instructions on how to set/change these parameters.

I do not see any settings page that allows me to administratively set these at a global level. I also do not see a way to set these parameters on behalf of my users (which would suck, but I can throw some hours at this and get it done).

Any advice?


Answers:
author: Walter Buggenhout
body: Hi [@Shaheeb Roshan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1052842),

No, indeed - you cannot update those settings globally, unfortunately. User preferences are personal settings and up to users to tweak for themselves. I would recommend to communicate about the existence of those and maybe include the information in the onboarding / training of new users. It does indeed make a huge difference if notifications are balanced out nicely.

One thing you can adjust globally is the frequency of the *recommended updates* email. In case you had not found that setting yet, read more about it [in this support article.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/configure-the-recommended-updates-email-notification/)

Page Properties Report Macro has an error
Asked by Holger K?chenmeister:

We have the Macro Page Properties on several pages. We have defined a label for this and inserted it on all pages.

On another page we have the Page Properties Report Macro. This also works initially.

However, as soon as the values are changed on the individual pages, they are no longer updated in the page properties report. However, this does not affect every side.

With some pages this works fine, with some other pages it doesn't. Oddly enough, the report previewed shows the correct data. As soon as the page with the report is published, old, incorrect data is displayed again.

Tagging Users In Templates Is Not Working
