Thanks.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ok, here, you're using the page-properties acro to pull in properties. On the pages you've put the properties in, you have included another macro, which is broken.

You need to find the page that is using the macro and fix that.


author: Jack Cheng
body: How do i find out the pages that included the macro that is broken? I didn't do anything special. All I did was to use the "Share on Confluence" button. Here is the screen shots of my shared link page.

image2016-5-26 9:56:38.png

Thanks.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Read the page you're trying to share and look at the page-properties macro it is using. That will tell you what properties you need to search for.


author: Jack Cheng
body: Sorry Nick. i still don't quite understand what you mean by "read the page".

Anyway, the is the link i tried to share. Does it mean I am missing "detailssummary" in my page properties?

image2016-5-26 16:20:44.png


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, it's the other way around - your page properties report appears to be pulling in a property that includes a badly configured detailssummary, although I can't see it in there.

Could you try temporarily removing all the page properties macros from your page and trying the share again?


author: Jack Cheng
body: i got it. Thanks a lot. it's fixed now.

Do you have your LDAP configuration set to be read-only **with local groups**? Specifically, check out this documentation:

[Unable to Add Users into a Group Due to Lack of Permission](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/unable-to-add-users-into-a-group-due-to-lack-of-permission-302812802.html)

I assume that you're seeing this error because you're attempting to move/add users to groups, correct?

Good luck!

comments: author: appnovation-it

We don't manage groups in confluence.

We don't have problems with moving / adding. Only problems tons of errors in log.

Due date not synching between confluence and Jira
Asked by Eric Rathofer:

I have created a subtask with a due date in Jira. In Confluence I created a JIRA Issue/Filter that contains this sub-task and the due date column. However, the due date column is empty when there are due dates in the JIRA sub-task.

Our admin opened the due date ability today but I would think the two would automatically synch up. How do I get the JIRA due date to show in JIRA Issue/Filter in Confluence? I've refreshed the pages several times, closed my browser and restarted the computer with zero luck.

I appreciate any assistance.

Take note of the warning - Confluence has to delete the emails from the mailbox once it has imported them, otherwise it will loop and keep importing repeatedly.

When is the data under the expand macro evaluated?
Asked by ktamulis:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Expand Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=223222352)*

Is the data under the expand macro evaluated upon page load or upon expansion of the the macro? Particularly JIRA filters on a confluence page? If I put them under an expand macro with that improve the performance of the initial load of the page?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Kristin,

As far as I am aware, the data under the expand macro is evaluated upon page load, so putting it under an expand macro will not improve page load performance. For that, you might want to look into the [Cache for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cache/server/overview) plugin.

Can I change the way JIRA issues display in Team Calendars
Asked by Dean Cloutier:

Hi,

I am displaying JIRA Issue Dates in our team calendar.

Is there way to prevent the project key, Issue number and the words '(Due Date)' from displaying in the event name in the team calendar? Is there a way to form the JQL query to hide these elements?

* My calendar event looks like this: *SC-6 -- Summary text (Due Date).*
* I want it to look like this: *Summary text.*

Also, can I set which descriptive information displays in the event details pop-up (the information that displays when you click the event)?

* It currently displays *Issue due, Assignee, and Status*
* I want it to display *Issue due, Description, and Source URL* (custom field that links to confluence page or confluence page attachment).

Thanks

Hi, I am a Confluence Administrator and I am trying to create a new group and add members to it. I have created the group, but each time I "add user" by choosing a user from the search function or from another group, I get the same error message of "no user found" and the group I created is still empty.

Answers:
