Expiration date on Tasks in Confluence
Asked by Kim Howitt:

Is it possible to have an expiration date on Tasks? I know there are due dates, but I'm asking about an expiration date ie on this date the Task is no longer needed or if it hasn't been completed in 30 days it expires and no longer shows up as a Task?


Answers:
author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: AFAIK there is no such feature, neither built-in nor app-provided.

You may want to check this app though and see if you can somehow use reminders to remind only to the task that are "not expired" in your concept: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214272/task-reminder-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214272/task-reminder-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

Space ABC was exported (xml format) a few months ago. Can I import the same XML without overriding?
Asked by Bryan Urias:

Hello!

Context: Space ABC has been growing for a few years now. It was decided back in 2021 to make a copy of the work, for backup purposes, so we exported XML.

Fast forward to the present time, certain things in Space ABC have either gone missing, are broken, or just need to be reverted back to match the content from the export.

I am able to go to Settings \> Administration \> Import Space to upload the XML, but have concerns that the current production version of Space ABC will be overwritten if I begin that upload (since the XML / Space ABC share the same key).

This is the goal of course, but need to verify upload is good before doing so

I currently don't have access to Confluence Premium, thus no-sandbox environment to work with. Any suggestions or workaround?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The short answer is; The space importer will not import a space with the same key as an existing one. Your import will fall over at the first hurdle!

That's of no use to you, of course, other than the basic "don't kill what I've got already" protection. You do have some options, but they're unfortunately going to be quite manual.

To do the import without a sandbox, you could

* Fire up an evaluation Cloud system and use it as a sandbox. Even with a trial, the full functionality of Confluence is there.
* Do a search and replace on the XML. Unlike Jira data, this can work really well with Confluence data - if you change everywhere that the Space key is used to something you don't already have in your target Confluence, you'll be able to import the file into a new space.
* Start messing around coding stuff with REST or apps. I'll keep that one very short because, well, nah, the first two are far better options for your scenario

In all of these, you will then need to think about how you merge or replace each page. The first two import options will leave you with "current space" and "restored space with a different key", and you'll be wanting to move some or all of the restored stuff into the current space. This could be easy if you just want a direct replacement (i.e. destroying everything added to the space since you did the 2021 export) - delete the current space and use the restored one! But I suspect you'll really want to be deleting some pages and then moving the restored versions back in.

comments: author: Bryan Urias
body: Thank you Nic - this was very helpful! If I go with the search \& replace method, is there a tag I should be on the lookout for when I replace the Space ID? ie: \<id\>\</id\> or CDATA\[{Space ID} BCDv\]?

Thanks a million!

-Bryan

A possible loop was detected
Asked by maks ivanov:

**Hi, i have a button and rule. I have an error when press the button.**

**Button:**add the purple "Task" label to the card

**Rule:** when the purple "Task" label is added to a card, send an email notification to every member on the card with subject "Subject" and message "Message", and remove the purple "Task"

**Error:**

**Butler** could not run your rule.  

**A possible loop was detected.**

*** ** * ** ***

A loop occurs when the actions of one command cause another command to trigger, and this other command in turn causes the first one to trigger again, and so on, potentially creating an infinite cycle. In more complex scenarios, multiple commands are involved, or even the commands of multiple users bouncing against each other. The current run of the command was halted as a precaution to avoid this, but it may occur again in the future. Please, revise your commands and disable any conflicting ones.

**P.S.**

All other rules and buttons are disabled. I press button 4 times: 3 times succesfull and 1 time error. What's wrong with it???

Show Checklist Powerup

Error "Can't perform additional actions after a batch card copy/move"
Asked by Shelley Barendregt:

Hi!

I am helping a client of mine to automate some tasks in her Trello board. I have done this a lot of times and it always works quite easily.

However, now it gives me an error I've never encountered before: "Can't perform additional actions after a batch card copy/move". We're not trying to do very difficult stuff. Just creating cards on certain day in the week and also copying a card to her own board when someone else in another board comments on a card. Should be very doable.

I've tried Googling the error message but I can't find a good answer out there. Can anyone help me with what it means and how to solve it?

How to search for cards where I'm mentioned in the comments?
Asked by Dennis Mariman:

Is there any way to see all cards where I'm mentioned in the comments?

I can't figure out how to do this correctly. When I search for '*comment:"@me"* ' it returns a bunch of cards in which I'm not even mentioned (seems like it just grabs all @s?). A few old threads I found through Google suggest that I should use '*comment:"@username"*', but that doesn't return anything at all, even though I know for a fact that I'm mentioned in a lot of comments.

The search function is frankly rather weak to start with, but in this case it seems to be outright broken. Am I doing it wrong?


Answers:

body: Hey [@Dennis Mariman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4614905)

I just played with this a little, and you're right, this does seem to not be working - I've raised this as a bug with the team that owns Trello's search!

We're actually currently looking for feedback on search specifically, and how we can make it better, so if you have suggestions, feel free to post them here, or via the Feedback link in the search dialog (<https://trello.typeform.com/to/UOOqfTe0>)

Due Date Reminders Sent to different email addresses?
Asked by Brian Citizen:

I have multiple boards and the content on each board is actually associated with different email addresses (work, personal, and business). However, when I set reminders they are only emailed to the address I used to register on trello. Is there any way I can set it up so that I can get reminders sent to the email address I want to associate with a particular board?


Answers:
author: Felix
body: I'd recommend creating multiple Trello accounts, and switch between them using the "Switch account" feature in the header (click your avatar -\> switch account).

Depending on your situation, mixing in personal and business boards can become problematic, because businesses can claim their email domain, and manage users on that domain. If you're using a business email and create personal boards with that email, there's a chance that those boards will be locked up in the "business context" and you won't be able to access them if you leave that company.

If business is only you (for example you are running your own business), this is less likely to become a problem, and you could look into setting up Butler rules to notify the appropriate email address on each board.

comments: author: Brian Citizen
body: Felix! This is helpful. I have one account, with multiple boards. The account is setup on my personal email address. I use one board for personal life management, one for personal task/project management at work (not collaborating with anyone), and one for my LLC. I'll look into both options mentioned above, but let me know if you have any other recommendations based on the detail shared there.

I just signed up for the free plan which we will try for our company
Asked by Yossi Stern:

just signed up and testing, I see that it comes with 250 workspace command runs per month. i am not understanding does this mean that we can only press 250 buttons per month meaning adding a new card then adding a due date and time or assigning a member, each one of these is considered a command run ?


Answers:
author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: Hi Yossi, the command runs are referring to [butler automation](https://help.trello.com/article/1198-an-intro-to-butler). There are no limits around what you can do on boards manually (i.e. manually creating a card, manually assigning a due date, manually moving a card to another list). You can create commands to automate a bunch of actions like this, so for example, auto-move a card to another list when a label is applied to a card - these automated actions performed by butler are the things that have a limited amount of runs per month.

Android app blocks access (not "synchronized")!

Since the last update, or change (whatever it was) the mobile Android app blocks access to my boards, because it "is not synchronized". All my students are also blocked out of their boards.

When the board's ready, you can simply add them back to the board.

Just note that if these people are workspace members as well, you'll need to switch the board visibility from "workspace visible" to "private" while you're making your edits.
Report that shows recent board activity using Trello's built-in automation tools
Asked by Jason Barnette:

I'm looking for a way to automatically generate and email a weekly report that details all activity on the board for a set time range (i.e. last 7 days). The "activity" I'm referring to is the activity you find in the sidebar. Is there a way to do this using Trello's built-in automation tools (without paid plugins or powerups)?

Answers:

body: [@Jason Barnette](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4440051)

There are only a few variables available on card age and time in list available. If you need know about the other actions and to send reports, the system keeps them on each card/board eg copyCard, createCard...etc You need to use API to get to them.

Calendar Power-Up : More sync options?
Asked by Lee Cottrill:

I've enabled the sync for Calendar Power-Up.

I've set up the iCal feed into my Outlook.

2 problems:

1. It feeds ALL cards with due dates (how can I just sync cards I'm a member of?)

2. It only seems to map finish dates and not start dates so my calendar isn't updated with the true reality of when the task takes place over (how can I sync the start and end dates?)


Answers:
author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: 1. I don't believe there's a way to filter what syncs to the calendar. A workaround would be to create a seperate board, auto copy cards that are assigned to you to this board, and then hook up the iCal feed from this board. Not the most ideal solution because this 2nd board isn't synced with the main board. You could automate some things with Butler to keep it up to date with the main board, but Unito would be the way to go to create a true sync.

2. I believe this is expected. Only the due date is synced over for the moment. Potentially using something like Planyway that offers a 2-way sync with Outlook calendar offers this?

TLDR; AFAIK, neither of these things are supported for the moment.

All really valid feature requests though - it would be cool to see a deeper integration. If you reach out to Trello directly, they might be able to give you some idea of whether this is on the roadmap, or they might be able to provide some better solutions in the meantime.

You can sync all Trello cards, or filter on a specific criteria (e.g. only cards assigned to you). If you're interested to try it out, just make sure you check all the permission boxes when authenticating, and ensure your cards have a start and end date!

Thanks for reaching out! :) Welcome.

We would like to thank you in advance for being part of our Trello community and we will try to solve your problem / need in the best way possible.

Whenever someone make a comment into a card, that person is automatically set to "watching" that specific card. So that means that any kind of actions regarding that specific card, will notify the people that are watching it. See more information in this article <https://help.trello.com/article/799-watching-cards-lists-and-boards>

The same thing happens when you add someone into a card, the members added will be "watching" the card automatically. Learn how to add members to a specific card here <https://help.trello.com/article/807-adding-a-member-to-a-card>

The good news is that you can always stop "watching" a specific card, even if you're a member of that card, or if somebody tagged you into one or more comments of that card.

Let us know whether we solved your case or not, and we'll be glad to help you the best way we can.

Best Regards,

Felipe

thank you for responding me!

I already noticed, that I can stop "watching" a specific card, even if I am a member of that card, or if somebody tagged me into one or more comments of that card.

What I also noticed is: that when someone tagges me in a comment of a card again AFTER I've stopped watching a card, I begin to watch it again. Is that correct or is there a way to stop it permanently and to only receive the comments when I'm tagged?

Best regards

Beate

body: Hello [@Beate Epting](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4613496)

Thanks for your interest in learning more about Trello features. :)

Whenever someone tagged another person in a card's comment, the person that did the comment will be watching that card, but the person that is being tagged, will not be watching that card, only will get notifications of that action.
