Is it possible to force edits to descriptions on a template to flow down to other boards?
Asked by jac5219:

Is there a way to force description field edits for cards on a template to update the same description fields on the cards on other boards based on the template?


Answers:
author: Ludo
body: Advanced features : it is possible to create automatically cards based on a template just by adding items. It needs more butler rules. I mean you add an item in a checklist in the template, then the item is converted into a card copied from the template. In this case, the link is build at the beginning, and you can too deploy future changes by using the action "for each card linked from an item".


author: Ludo
body: Hi,

It is possible. But first you must create a link between the card considered as a template and the other cards based on this template. Then you can build a rule to deploy the change from the template to the linked cards.

For this, you need dedicated checklist in the template card and 2 butler rules.

Create 2 rules :

```
when an item is added to checklist "Template Link",find a card titled "{checklistitemname}" on board "Myboard", 
and link the card with the item
```

This rule allows to link template and others cards. An item corresponds to a useful card to link with the template. In this example, useful card is on board "Myboard".

```
when the green label is added to a card, remove the green label from the card, for each card linked from an item in checklist "TemplateLink", set the card's description to "{triggercarddescription}", 
```

This rules allows to deploy the change to the linked cards. The triggercarddescription is the new description of the template which will be deployed.

Note : label trigger is used for example, because description trigger doesn't exist.

Just, respecting this order for the user story :

* Create template card
* Create useful cards from the template
* Add checklist "TemplateLink" in the template card
* Add items in the checklist "TemplateLink" by using the ++same names++ that the useful cards
* Set Description to new value in the template
* Add green label in the template

And for already linked cards, just execute the 2 last steps.

How can I change this date format?
Asked by Mark de Bra:

Hello,

I working on a zap between Google Sheets and Trello. Google Sheets is using the Timzone GMT with a date format DD-MM-YYYY. When the row is converted into a card in Trello, the due date converts it to MM-DD-YYYY if DD \< 12. I'm using Zapier to connect this two tools and already made changes in the date format Trello is expecting in the API connection (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ).

My question: Why is Trello switching the format in due date and how can I fix it? My timezone is in Amsterdam (GMT+1).

Thank you in advance!

KR, Mark


Answers:
author: David Bernal
body: Trello's API uses the standard ISO 8601 date format, which is the one you mentioned "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ". This is the safest format to use with our API, since it's standardized. This format will operate correctly with many other systems. The API will attempt to interpret dates in other formats, but since date formatting depends on locale, it's not always guaranteed to be correct.

Perhaps if you're using Google Sheets and Zapier, they might have a way to transform dates from your format into this one, and vice versa?

Can you report on top Word Search in confluence that is connect to a helpdesk
Asked by Michelle:

We have our help-docs that out customers can search to try and troubleshoot their problem before requesting helping through our help-desk. Is there a way to pull a report of the top word search in the help-docs?


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: There is a third party plugin "[Search Analytics for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223822/search-analytics-for-confluence?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview)" which can track and analyse searches but I think it works in Confluence and won't give you reports for the users searching from JSM. I can advise to reach out to the [vendor](https://jira.bitvoodoo.ch/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/user/login?destination=portal%2F2%2Fgroup%2F21%3FgroupId%3D21) to see if they can work on this feature and also check if it can be made available for cloud hosting type.

comments: author: Mattia _bitvoodoo ag_
body: Thank you Kishan for referencing our app.

Unfortunately, I have to inform you that currently the analysis of the search via the JSM help desk cannot be done. However, we will monitor the technical development in the cloud and if applicable, we will include in the future the JSM query in our search analysis.

I do not believe that there are any reports that provide you with information on what is being searched in the service desk. If you go to the articles you can see how many views each one has. You can also use the requests resolved report and drill down into it to see what articles are being used to resolve issues and how often by time. This is helpful to see what content is helping resolve issues.

User Macro to Watch for New Blog Posts in a Space
Asked by Heth Siemer:

Is there a user macro I can create that would allow users to click on it and it would have them watch for new blog posts in a space? I would like to put a button on my blog's home page that would allow them to watch all blog posts in the space?

The out of the box watch functionality when you click on "watch" on the home page does not allow you to just watch for new blogs. You can watch for all content, but we only want the blog notifications. Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Heth Siemer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1178715)

There are 2 options for you.

First option: Out of the box from confluence. Click on a space on the left the "Blog" link. then on the right you have the option, to "Watch the blog"

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/166568i313CCDC7678E39D1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

Second option:

I wrote a user macro:

```
## Macro title: Watch Blog Button
## Macro has a body: N
## Body processing: Selected body processing option
## Output: Selected output option
##
## Developed by: Dominic
## Date created: 18.07.2019
## Installed by: Dominic

## This is an example macro
## @param spacetitle:title=Space Title|type=string|required=true|default= |desc=Den Titel, welcher im Button angezeigt wird
## @param spacekey:title=Space Key|type=string|required=true|default= |desc=Den Space Key von dem Space, welcher du abonnieren willst.

<button id="twtr-watch-space-blog" class="aui-button">Abonnieren den $paramspacetitle Blog</button>
<script>
AJS.toInit(function(){
AJS.$('#twtr-watch-space-blog').on('click', function(){
addBlogWatcher();
});
});
function addBlogWatcher(){
jQuery.ajax({
url: AJS.contextPath() + "/spaces/addspacenotification.action?contentType=blogpost&key=$paramspacekey&atl_token="+AJS.Meta.get('atl-token'),
success: function (xhr) {
AJS.$('#twtr-watch-space-blog').text('Du hast geraden den Blog abonniert.');
AJS.$('#twtr-watch-space-blog').attr('disabled','disabled');

Do you or another reader happen to know of an 8.5 compatible solution?

Exporting a Full Multi-page Segment Into a PDF Document
Asked by Wanda Bartlett:

I have a page that has many pages underneath it and I'd like to export all of the pages into a single PDF. But when I click on the top level link that basically gives me an index with links to each page underneath it with all the page titles and I click export, the only thing that exports is that one index page and nothing else.

According to your help information, Confluence will export all the info into web pages and then converts them to individual PDF's and then merges them all into a single PDF document. But I'm not seeing it do that and there is no option provided to indicate exporting a whole segment or anything of that nature.

Add a calendar in a confluence page

Answers:

You can use [Confluence Team Calendars](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/use-team-calendars-for-confluence/) to add calendars to the space or a page. This calendar will allow you to bring content in from Jira.

There are also apps that can be used to connect external calendars to Confluence as well. [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud\&product=confluence\&query=calendar](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=calendar)

author: Clint Young
body: Yeah, if you can't go with what [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) suggested, I think you're only option would be to manually create your own calendar using a table and either enter a date or just use text.

Confiform create page
Asked by frithjof falck:

I would like to use the confiform macro to create a new page from a template and use the form input to fill inn sections of the newly created page.

Is this possible? If so, what would be a good solution?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

You can create pages by submitting a form in ConfiForms

The page template may have ConfiForms "view" macros, such as TableView, CardView, ListView, etc - filtered dynamically to show the data you want/need from a submitted form

The easiest way to reference / create a filter to the same record created as a result of a form submit is to put it to

```
id:[entry.id]
```

I don't think there is a way to block or remove those settings, no.

Have you tried changing the email on a test account to see if it allows it, as it may not work even though the setting is there?

If it does work, you could always reach out to [Atlassian Support](http://support.atlassian.com) to see if they can do anything

Hope that helps,

Liam

comments: author: Keith Sottung
body: Thank you for the reply! I don't have an email test account easily available. I was hoping someone in the community would have do the test you suggest. Our thinking aligns. My gut tells me since the email address is owned by a corporation the process should fail. My biggest concern is an employee could change the email and the password and maintain access after they leave the company? I hope that isn't possible.


author: Liam Green
body: Hi [@Keith Sottung](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1301095)

I don't have a Google account so wouldn't be able to test.

I'd have thought that when someone changes their email, they would lose access to your system if you authenticate through Google - but hopefully someone here can confirm that

Confluence unfriendly URL slug with accent
Asked by REG23:

Hello

I see Confluence tries to generate a nice URL but it fails with accents, so at least it should be editable. Looks like it is so difficult to replace "?" with "a".

We have accent in most of the page titles, but all accents are replaced with plus sign. It looks really ugly when we have see "+" more than 5 times in the URL. That is not user friendly.

Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@REG23](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4594218) Welcome to the Atlassian Community

I was able to confirm the functionality but was unable to find any documentation on this. My guess is that they do not have anything to handle the special characters so they just replace them with the + symbol. I would suggest submitting a support issue to Atlassian to see if they have any plans to make a change to better crosswalk and replace characters in the future. <https://support.atlassian.com/contact/>

I also checked to see if a feature request existed but was not able to find one so you might also consider submitting one here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa>

How to access the Miro for Confluence app once installed?
Asked by Matthew Stevens:

I added the Miro for Confluence app on the Admin side, but still have users stating they can't access it.


Answers:
author: John Holt
body: Yes, I cannot connect either and I'm UX designer of 20 years. Did Atlassian sen you to a blog article as an answer to your concern. I'm shocked at behavior like this from a major corporation. Lack of proper support for users is what shut down the internet on the first attempt. People lost millions of dollars as user abandoned the Web because it was so unusable. And here we are again, product teams are removing UX for self-help articles instead when flows are unusable. Maybe we can prepare large training manuals next so users can download them and read how to use your site.

Best,
