after upgrading to latest confluence pages don't render HTML
Asked by Ami Sadeh:

hello! after upgrading from Confluence 3.4 to 6.5.1 via the documented upgrade path all seems to be working however when viewing pages the page is showing the full html source/markup instead of rendering it. for example:

\<p\>

i am saying something \<b\>bold\</b\>

\</p\>

instead of showing:

I am saying something **bold**


Answers:
author: RianS
body: I believe somewhere in that upgrade chain, Atlassian removed the ability for pages to be marked up with HTML. There were a number of editor changes between the versions you have upgraded through. They did keep a [HTML macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/html-macro-38273085.html) for rendering HTML content, but the plugin needs to be enabled to be used by a Confluence Administrator.

comments: author: Ami Sadeh
body: Thanks for that info Rian, it was very helpful. I am able to edit a page and move its content to into an HTML macro block. Do you know if there is a way to bulk update my pages? it would be kind of hard to go one by one
I am unable to find a child page by searching a key word. Any suggestions
Asked by teresa lodge:

The table structure on the page is:

Requirements Documentation

Contracts

Create Contract

Contract type 1

Contract type 2

I am entering in one word from the title on the contract type 2 page and it cannot find it. Any thoughts as to why i cannot find it?

I'm just going through some community posts that has been awhile for some time and see what I can do to help.

If you're searching in the [Quick Search Bar](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/search-139528.html#Search-Quicksearch) on the top right corner, you should be able to get the page in the result if you search it using any part of the Page Title. In your example, entering the keyword "**type** " should give you both result of the *Contract type 1* and *Contract type 2* pages as result.

If the search doesn't give you anything, I'm thinking the search index might be corrupted or out-of-syned. In this case, [Rebuilding Search Index](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-index-administration-148844.html#ContentIndexAdministration-Rebuildingthesearchindex) will be able to fix the issue. You can follow these stels:

1. Choose the **cog icon** on the top right corner, then choose **General Configuration**
2. Choose '**Content Indexing** ' under the heading '**Administration**' in the left-hand panel.
3. Choose the '**Rebuild** ' button in either the 'Search Index' section.   
   *(If the indexes have never been built, its button will indicate 'Build' instead of 'Rebuild.)*

In case if this doesn't give you the search result, you may want to perform a [Rebuild Index from Scratch](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-rebuild-the-content-indexes-from-scratch-on-confluence-server-110035351.html) which will require Confluence to be restarted.

Is there an existing Confluence gadget where I can display drop-down menu of my requirements in JIRA
Asked by Jean Malik:

I have a set of requirements in JIRA. In Confluence, I have a traceability document that connects the test cases with the requirements they fulfill. When editing the Confluence page to select the requirements that they are mapped to, is it possible to have a drop down or list of all the requirements in JIRA so I can select one or more to be mapped to? Or is there a better feature to map test cases to requirements?

Thank you

More frequent page revisions for page history
Asked by David Farag?:

Is there a possibility to configure confluence such that it saves page revisions more frequently?

When I edit and publish a page very often, a revision every couple of hours is just not enough...


Answers:
author: Damien Tan
body: Confluence save changes of the page into [Page History](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-history-and-page-comparison-views-139379.html) whenever a user click on the **Publish** or **Update** button on the page. In this case, the frequency of the page being *saved* actually depends on how often the page is being **Updated** by the user.

If you're on Confluence 6 or above, you'll probably have [Collaborative Editing](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/collaborative-editing-858771779.html) enabled. This way the changes are basically saved in the Unpublished Draft everytime you stop typing for a few seconds. Meaning if you decide to close the browser or got disconnected when the changes are saved(usually take \<3seconds), the changes will still be there until another user publish or delete it.

Not sure if this answers what you're looking for but do let me know if I got it wrongly :)

Confluence Questions Watchers are not receiving notifications after switching to new UI

I am not seeing an influx of tickets in Cloud for lack of notifications for Questions, so I recommend you open a support ticket at <https://support.atlassian.com/contact>.

Spaces not appearing in Space Directory
Asked by Anthony Loh:

Hello,

I have created a bunch of spaces and content, but when my users log in they do not see any spaces in the Space Directory when they log in. They *can* browse to spaces and view all the content within them, so I believe the space permissions are correct. Additionally, searching, "Recently updated" and "Content by label" show them no results.

This doesn't seem to affect administrators, because everything works if I add the user to the admin group.

I thought it must be a content index problem so I have followed the steps to rebuild the content index and ancestor table but this hasn't changed anything.

Is there anything else I should be trying?


Answers:
author: Anthony Loh
body: This turned out to be something wrong with syncing the AD group "confluence-users" with the internal "confluence-users" group. Deleting the AD connector and creating a new one fixed the problem.

In addition to rebuilding the content index, have you also done this:

* [Rebuilding the Content Indexes from Scratch](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-rebuild-the-content-indexes-from-scratch-on-confluence-server-110035351.html)

This is a step further from the reindexing within Confluence.

PDF export file naming formats

It will add weight to the request if you comment on it to explain your use case in more detail. That will also add you as a watcher so you'll see any updates.

The Agile Wallboard gadget is a Jira gadget that can be made available in Confluence, but it is not there by default. To use it, you need an application link between Jira and Confluence and the gadget has to be registered in Confluence.

JQL: Substring operation using delimiter on a custom field (multi-line) values onto Confluence page
Asked by Madhusudhan Srinivasa:

Have **certain values (separated by commas)** populated onto c**ustom field (multi-line)** for Issues

author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: This is not a generic JQL function requirement. You might want to write a custom searcher for your custom field or write a JQL function in a plugin that does what you want.

But features like displaying only last X digits are beyond the search functionality. That will be a modification to the custom field implementation!


author: Madhusudhan Srinivasa
body: [@Jobin Kuruvilla \[Adaptavist\]](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781455) Have anything to comment here please? The requirement is to perform substring operation **on the custom multifield text value populated onto confluence from Jira**.


author: Madhusudhan Srinivasa
body: Thanks [@Andy Heinzer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/541137) for your inputs

Will try the plugin, if I can attain the requirement. Leave feedback shortly

Do we have any relevant plugins at confluence end?


author: Andy Heinzer
body: Jira's native JQL is not able to do this. JQL is designed to return Jira issues, it is not as adept at returning a substring of a field to a specific issue. That kind of function though seems like something that could be done with a SQL query.

As such, perhaps you can use a plugins such as [SQL for Jira Driver: Convert JQL to SQL](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.kintosot.jira.jdbc4jql/server/overview) this plugin also has other related plugins that mightbe helpful here. For example the [SQL for Jira - Custom Fields](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.kintosoft.jira.jdbc.cf.sql-custom-fields/server/overview) appears to allow you to use SQL formulas to populate custom fields in Jira. Perhaps with this you could use a SQL substring in order to create a new custom field that only contains the specific data you want to show in conjunction with that issue.

Using the Jira user directory to manage Confluence access
Asked by Jack Parker:

We currently have an instance of Jira and an instance of Confluence with several users who have access to both managed on each application individually.

We would like to start using the Jira user directory to manage access to both applications.

What I would like to understand is what will happen to the existing Confluence accounts in the following use cases:

* Someone has a Jira account and a Confluence account with different usernames
* Someone has a Jira account and a Confluence account with the same usernames


Answers:
author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

Nothing will happen to existing Confluence accounts, they will remain under **Confluence Internal Directory** and can still be used to log in to Confluence, they will not be synchronized to Jira and you will not be able to use them to log in to Jira.

All Jira accounts will be synchronized to Confluence, as well as Jira internal **jira-administrators** and **jira-software-users** groups. Said groups will be given access to create content in Confluence, this can be adjusted from Global and Space permissions settings in Confluence. So if a user has an account in Confluence with a unique ID and an account in Jira with another unique ID, both account will be able to use Confluence independently.

Duplicate user ID will be merged, with password value being taken from Jira. Group memberships will also merge, so if a user is a member of a **jira-software-users** group on Jira and **confluence-users** group on Confluence, you will have a user that is a member of both groups having access to both instances.

You can read more on adding jira to Confluence here:
