Is there a way to put a drop down menu in a table?
Asked by Juels Vaughn:

Creating a table and want to add a status drop down menu in final column is there a way to do that?

You may use the [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app.

Its Handy Status macro allows you to create pre-defined sets of statuses or options, use them inside your tables and switch them easily in the page view mode.

comments: author: Chris Jackson
body: Hi [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) Is there a reason this is not already built into your Tables and Charts for Confluence? It would make sense to have drop down lists built into the table product....?

body: Hi [@Chris Jackson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4575823) ,

The Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app concentrates mostly to replace the tandem "Excel+Confluence", so that you don't need to switch between two separate systems: you can filter data, create pivots, perform calculations and create advanced graphs right in Confluence. The next big feature on our roadmap is to support Spreadsheets right in Confluence along with standard Excel formulas.

And the Handy Macros for Confluence app is related more to content formatting (Handy Status, Handy Date, Handy Button, Handy Tips) and Confluence workflow (Handy Tasks, Handy Reminders). The popularity of the app doesn't "depend" on the number of tables that are used within your Confluence - its macros work within plain text as well as within tables.

And I really can't say that our customers always buy this two apps as a bundle or request to combine any features.

The dropdown option is also present (and, of course, you may use filtration, cell formulas, pivot tables, conditional formatting, etc.).

How to revert to previous Version of Confluence Space which is unable to be loaded/edited?
Asked by James Morris:

I have a Confluence space with an embed table macro containing several Jira filter macros and a few pie charts.  
This space was performing as expected without issue.  
I recently attempted to add a filter to lock the top row of the table to improve UX.  
Upon saving the Confluence space the page no longer loads and I am unable to Edit the space to select the Version history to revert to previous (working version).

I initially received the following error code: "Out of Memory"

I now receive the following error message: "Crashpad_NotConnectedToHandler"

Seeking way to access the previous version of the Confluence space (without the table row filter) which was operating normally.

Firstly, welcome to the community

For your above query, you may use the "Page History" feature:

Set Summary Field of Custom Issue Collector with HTML Text Input
Asked by Jon Heysek:

How can I take the value of a HTML input text field and set it as the summary of a custom issue collector?

I was able to pull in the submitters name and email address into the custom issue collector form so I know the 'fieldValues' block is working correctly:

```

<div class="field-group">
    <label for="summary">My Summary Field</label><br>
    <input type="text" name="type" id="summary"><br><br>
    <input type="button" id="button-launch-issue-collector" value="CONFIRM">
</div>

...

 fieldValues: {
    summary : ???,
    fullname : AJS.params.userDisplayName,
    email: AJS.params.remoteUser
} 
```

I've read [this page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/advanced-use-of-the-jira-issue-collector-861253497.html) describing the 'Advanced use of the JIRA issue collector' as well as how to use Javascript to assign variables from HTML text input values however I'm still unsure how to proceed here. Do I need to use a 'Dynamic functions' (e.g. *fieldValues : function() { var values = {};)* in order to set the summary field from the value the user typed into the HTML input text field?

Import a Confluence Cloud space (from one Organization to another)
Asked by Jose Fuentes:

Hi,

Iv'e been trying to follow [official Atlassian steps](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/import-a-confluence-cloud-space/) to import or move one Confluence space (or pages) into another, but I'm able as show in [this video](https://www.loom.com/share/e997424554e04b5f861112a925855944) recording my screen (2 minutes).

I think what I may be doing wrong is that the Space I'm trying to move is one Attlasian Organization, and I'm trying to move it to a different Organization, and, although they are part of the same account, Organizations are like totally different account.

Any thought or hope how could I move a Space? Thanks.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there [@Jose Fuentes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3688941) !

Looking at your video, I can see that you did every step needed to export and then import in Confluence

However, Safari is playing tricks on us! There is a feature in Safari that automatically extracts .zip files upon download.

Why is this affecting us? It is affecting us because Confluence looks exactly after a .zip file when importing content. If we try to use the files separately like that, Confluence does not recognizes it.

We can try to either disable this feature in Safari or use another browser to download the export file.

Also, pay attention to permissions of your exported pages. If you are on the Free Plan, you may have problems accessing them after you import them into your site. I had another person here from our Community with a problem that was caused by that:
> [Exporting Imported Spaces](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Exporting-Imported-Spaces/qaq-p/1563367)

Let us hear from you!

Create Jira issue from Confluence- Component stops issue from being sent
Asked by Samantha Andrade:

Hello,

I have created a form in Confluence that creates a Jira issue. I am trying to include coding for 'components' to assign specific individuals within JIRA. However, when I include the code, the issue is no longer sent.

FYI- The field that assigns components in JIRA is a drop-down menu.

This is the code without 'components' (within IFFTT integration rules Macro):

```
{   "fields": {      "project":      {          "key": "CPDG"      },      "summary"           : "[entry.fldproject.escapeJSON]",	  "description"       : "Project Description:[entry.fldproject.escapeJSON]\nClarity ID:[entry.ParentProject]\nParent Project ID:[entry.ParentID]\nStart Date:[entry.StartDate]\nFinish Date:[entry.finishdate]\nPDG:[entry.PDG]\nPDG1:[entry.PDG1]\nLocation: [entry.Location]\nPhase: [entry.ProjectPhase]\nProject Goal[entry.ProjectGoal]\n\n",	  "issuetype"         : {  "name": "Request" },      "priority"          : { "id": "5" },   }}
```

and this is the code with components:

```
{   "fields": {      "project":      {          "key": "CPDG"      },      "summary"           : "[entry.fldproject.escapeJSON]",
```

```
	  "components"		  : "[entry.PDG1]",	  "description"       : "Project Description:[entry.fldproject.escapeJSON]\nClarity ID:[entry.ParentProject]\nParent Project ID:[entry.ParentID]\nStart Date:[entry.StartDate]\nFinish Date:[entry.finishdate]\nPDG:[entry.PDG]\nPDG1:[entry.PDG1]\nLocation: [entry.Location]\nPhase: [entry.ProjectPhase]\nProject Goal[entry.ProjectGoal]\n\n",	  "issuetype"         : {  "name": "Request" },      "priority"          : { "id": "5" },   }}
```

Is there something i am not doing correctly? Why does the ticket not get submitted to JIRA when I add 'components' to the code?

Thank you!

Sam

Preventing Copy and Paste
Asked by DOJ PS4:

Hello,  

I am fairly new to Confluence so please excuse me but I am intending to put material on my space that is just for members of my community and wish to disable any form of copying and pasting from the space. Is this possible? Also if I would like to just restrict this further to a larger community but not create users for each person how would I do that, if that is possible.  

Thank you


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, if someone can read a page, then there are always ways to copy it.

You could try some javascript that asks the browser not to allow copy, but the browser is free to ignore it, and that sort of thing is very easy to bypass. If nothing else, fetch the page content over REST.

How can I promote or move a page to become the overview?
Asked by Mike Kostyo:

I had a page on another space in Confluence and now I want to break it out and create a separate space for this product. I have created the space and moved the page there, but is there a way I can make this page the overview for the space?


Answers:
author: Tessa Tuteleers
body: Hi [@Mike Kostyo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4255643) ,

Welcome to the community!

You can make another page the "parent" of all pages in your space, by going to space settings and changing the "Home page" in the space details.

Just make sure that all other pages in your space are children of that one, or you will have orphaned pages (pages that have no parent and become thus invisible in your tree. ![Screenshot 2021-02-08 at 19.25.00.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/129430i4322860E4391F269/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2021-02-08 at 19.25.00.png")

Confiforms: Group and count records by month from metadata field "created"
Asked by its moi:

Hi Confiforms experts: I have a form with different data fields, two of them are checkboxes. In a view I would like to have the entries grouped and counted by month (when they have been created).

In addition I also would like to count all records (again grouped by month) where checkboxA are true and another count should count all records with the other checkbox checked.

I have no clue how to get this result. Do I need the view merger?

Open a link to a page without opening a new tab
Asked by Rienk Douma:

I have a Space with multiple pages. I want the first page to act as a start page, containing images that link to specific pages within the same Space. When I click a link, it opens in a new tab. Is it possible to let it open in the same tab?


Answers:
author: Tessa Tuteleers
body: Hi [@Rienk Douma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4255410) ,

Welcome to the community!   
Link opening behaviour has always been a bit of a mystery for Confluence cloud.

In the old editor, links were always opened in the same tab, and is was a pain to change that behaviour.   
In the new editor, I think the default behaviour for text-based URL's is to open in the new tab, and for URL's behind images, to open in a new tab.

Could you create a workaround with a textual link underneath the image? I think that would be the quickest solution.

- Tessa

comments: author: Rienk Douma
body: Hi Tessa,

Thank you for your swift reply! I tested your workaround and that indeed works. It's not ideal but if there isn't another option at the moment we can work with it. It would be great though to have a bit more options when creating links.

Regards!

How do I add a response to a task?
Asked by Andrew Pemberton:

We have set up tasks in our project wiki space, which we can assign, date and mark as complete. We would like to add the ability to put notes or a response (i.e. how it was completed) against a task.

I welcome any suggestions :)


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Andrew Pemberton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4255208)

Welcome to the community.

There is not really a great way to do this. You can however use the inline comments feature in confluence to add comments on a specific task that can be reviewed on the page. The user would have to be on the confluence page that the task resides on and high light the task. They will then have the option to add an inline comment that others can click and add comments to as well.

![Capture.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/129638i61E0FA0452C0A15E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.jpg")

comments: author: Andrew Pemberton
body: Hi, thanks, I have been using it for a little while now and am just starting to push the boundaries of the interesting stuff :)

Thank you for this suggestion, I took it back to my team and the engineering manager had found an alternative that he prefers as these comments only show up on the page where the task exists not on the task tracking pages. The manager also got rid of my comment by effectively closing the comment as per the page review process.

What we have implemented instead is to put bullets underneath each action that then allows for multiple updates against the task and these bullets are pulled through to the higher level reporting as below

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/130193i7C3F090A2467B3FE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")


author: Maggie Trinh
body: Hi Andrew, I like the idea of the bullet points underneath each action item, however this doesn't seem to be possible when viewing outstanding action items at the Task Report level? I was hoping we could add additional bullet points within the Task in the Task Report that would automatically show up in corresponding meeting notes. So the other way around I guess :)

Daily backup error
Asked by Alex Sprague:

I have a issue on my daily automated backup. Even though i have the backup set to run daily at the same time, every other day it fails because there's 5 - 10 minutes left in the 24 hour window between backups. Here's the thing. It's scheduled to run at the exact same time everyday and there is exactly 24 hours between when the first backup runs and the next backup runs. Is there a way to fix this?

The current CRON expression is every 0 0 8 \* \* ?

Here is the error message

Welcome to the community. You can submit a support ticket to Atlassian (<https://support.atlassian.com/contact/>) for assistance on their cloud product but you should remember what is stated in the documentation: "When you create a backup that includes attachments, avatars, and logos, you will need to wait 48 hours from the last time you created a backup with attachments." <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-automate-backups-for-jira-cloud-applications-779160659.html>

comments: author: Alex Sprague
body: Hey [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) thanks for the response. My understanding is confluence backups are limited to 24 hour intervals and Jira backups are limited to 48 hour intervals.

author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Alex Sprague](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4255133) Sorry you are correct, I git it in my head that you were looking at Jira backups and not Confluence.

How to delete a user and user history from Jira cloud and confluence cloud
Asked by Kusuma Nimma:

I have deleted a user from Jira and Confluence but the user history is still existing. Someone please suggest me how to delete user history in the following contexts  

In Jira: Comments, issues created or updated, status change and so on.  

In Confluence : Space creation, Page updated, Comments and files.

Atleast is there any possibility to replace the user with any other user in user history


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Kusuma Nimma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4254785)

Welcome to the community. Here is some information about account deletion of managed accounts - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/delete-your-account-976161188.html#DeleteyourAtlassianaccount-personal-data>

I think you just need to wait the 14 days and it will change to former user.

Per the documentation:

Content you created in Atlassian account services. **For example, pages, issues, and comments you created in products.** For full lists of content that's not deleted in these products, see the documentation on account deletion in Confluence Cloud and Jira Cloud

### Account appearance after deletion {#toc-hId-1224903909}

During the grace period when the account is deactivated, other users will still see your name in product (e.g., next to your avatar) along with a **Deactivated** lozenge.

When your account is permanently deleted, **Former user** will appear in place of your name and the lozenge updates to **Deleted**.
