automatism - remove expiration date from the first tab
Asked by Luca Dragonslave:

I'm trying to create an automatism. I would like to copy a card with an expiration date and then have the expiration date removed in the first card and keep the expiration date in the copied card.


Answers:
author: Garrett
body: Hi Luca,

To do that, you'll need to make use of Butler's **Cascade** actions. Specifically the one where you find the original card. You'll also want to use Butler's [variables](https://help.trello.com/article/1157-variables) to dynamically find the original card each time it's used.

To start, you can add your action that copies the card. I'll assume you plan to create a card button for this, so it would just be the action to copy the card to the destination you want.

![Screen Shot 2021-11-01 at 1.10.45 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/167489iD694982178F68CCC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-11-01 at 1.10.45 PM.png")

From there, you want to use the Cascade action, specifically "find the card with link". Instead of an actual card link, we can use the variable **{triggercardlink}** which is a placeholder for the link to the card that triggered the command. In other words, the link to the original card.

![Screen Shot 2021-11-01 at 1.12.49 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/167490i10E114E879ADAFA8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-11-01 at 1.12.49 PM.png")

Now, Butler will perform any following actions on the original card it finds. So the last step is to remove the due date.

Once that's added, you can save your card button and try it out!

Pull selected/labeled pages into a table that can be edited
Asked by megan moody:

I'd like to have a table of contents page that pulls all pages with certain labels into it, but then allows me to add columns to the table for additional data to be input. So I want the rows to be dynamic based on labels/something, but I want the columns to be editable. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Can't view task report from someone else's page
Asked by Karin Bingham:

Hello!

I tried searching for this but had no luck. If there is already a topic, please let me know.

One of our PM's have created pages with meeting notes and task lists. Then she created another page with the task report.

We can see the tasks on her meeting notes but the task report page has no results. She's shared her screen with me and I can see the report there. I even made sure she had a task for me on her meeting notes.

Can you only see your own task reports? Any work around for this?


Answers:
author: Karin Bingham
body: While working with my users again I "figured" out my problem.

I'm in the admin group, but I wasn't in the users group!

I also couldn't edit unless I added myself to the individual users on the space permissions. Troubleshooting that is how we found the answer to this issue as well. As soon as I added myself to the users group everything worked fine.


author: Marta Wo?niak-Semeniuk
body: Hey [@Karin Bingham](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4797616) do you use any add-on for tasks or do you use the default functionality from Confluence?

I know that you can only see on someones report the tasks coming from pages you have permissions to view, but as I understand you have permissions for those?

comments: author: Karin Bingham
body: [@Marta Wo?niak-Semeniuk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5074552) Thank you for replying.

I don't believe we have any add-ons but I will double check with our system admin.

I have admin rights so I have access to everything. But the other person that is having the same problem (and doesn't have admin rights) can see the original page but not the task report page.

ConfiForms Bug: Smart Multi-Row with FormView as Rendering Type
Asked by Elena Florie:

Hi!

I've encountered the following bug:

When using the field type "Smart Multi-Row" with the rendering type "FormView (Registrations Control)" every entry in each subsequent row after the first row is just a simple input field. I'm using the edit controls with inline edit mode, but the issue persists in the dialog mode as well. Adding a new row is displaying the fields correctly, but trying to edit the "Smart Multi-Row" field results in the rendering bug. With the rendering type "TableView" or "CardView" the issue is not occuring, but I rather wanted to apply a certain styling for each row.

Has this issue already been addressed or how can I currently circumvent the bug?

Filtering a Pivot Table
Asked by Tanya Merkel:

We have a page that has a table containing some Jira links with other information, and is used to build a pivot table.

Prior to adding the pivot, the referenced table had filter capability. After building the pivot, the referenced table no longer can be filtered.

Any ideas on how we can allow both in this page?

TIA


Answers:
author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@Tanya Merkel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4623788)   

If we are talking about our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app, then you should use the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro to nest several macros.  
Confluence Cloud doesn't allow to wrap macros directly. So, to create macro sequences like "source table \<- Pivot Table \<- Table Filter \<- Chart from Table" you need to place your source table inside the Table Toolbox macro, go to its settings and drag'n'drop other macros within its shell.

Return a value of Yes or No, depending on if a cell has data in it in SQL
Asked by Laurie Huth:

I have a column called 'Build Date'. I created another column called 'Committed (Y/N)'. I want the Committed column to return a value of Yes or No, depending on if there is a build date listed.

![Capture.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/229142iFD3E054967F71C71/image-dimensions/361x388?v=v2 "Capture.PNG")  
What I've tried so far: I thought I could do it by creating a WHEN/THEN/ELSE SQL, but both columns either list the dates in both (like above) or both columns go to YES and NOs. See below  
SELECT 'Key',  
FORMATWIKI(SUM('Build Date')) AS 'Build Date',  
FORMATWIKI(SUM('Enforcement Date')) AS 'Enforcement Date',  
FORMATWIKI(SUM('Region Impact')) AS 'Region Impact',  
FORMATWIKI(SUM('Build Date')) AS 'Committed? (Y/N)'  
FROM (  
SELECT \*,  
CASE  
WHEN 'Build Date' IS NULL  
THEN "No" IN 'Committed? (Y/N)'  
ELSE "Yes"  
END  
AS 'Committed? (Y/N)'  
FROM T\*)


Answers:
author: Alexey Mikhaylov _Stiltsoft_
body: Hi Laurie,

Please modify your CASE WHEN statement as following:

![Tue 8-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/229260iE1F03628D7E6C18F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Tue 8-1.png")

*SELECT \*,*   
*CASE*   
*WHEN 'Build Date' IS NULL*   
*THEN "No"*   
*ELSE "Yes"*   
*END*   
*AS 'Committed? (Y/N)'*   
*FROM T*\*

![Tue 8-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/229261i3D0A3F7FE10D671C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Tue 8-2.png")

As you can see, everything works as expected.

What concerns the first part of your query:  
*FORMATWIKI(SUM('Build Date')) AS 'Build Date',*   
*FORMATWIKI(SUM('Enforcement Date')) AS 'Enforcement Date',*   
*FORMATWIKI(SUM('Region Impact')) AS 'Region Impact',*   
***FORMATWIKI(SUM('Build Date')) AS 'Committed? (Y/N)'***

What are you trying to do with this part of the code, especially with the last entry in bold? It seems that you take your 'Build Date' column and show it as 'Committed? (Y/N)'. Thus your "Yes" and "No" from the internal SELECT are overwritten by the dates from the 'Build Date' column -- the result column has the same name 'Committed? (Y/N)'.  
Please check this moment once more.

Best regards,

Alexey

Content Block Templates
Asked by Toni Wowtscherk:

Is it possible to build specific content templates that can be used repetitively on a page itself? i.e. the structure of meeting notes as a base frame is reoccurring repetitively in the same page. Can the custom content structure be saved and then selected from the "insert" menu? This would save copy/pasting time and the time to delete old content from previous meetings.

comments: author: Toni Wowtscherk
body: [@Sam Lucas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5105690) the idea would be to define existing content as a template and be able to reuse it by a simple selection or drag and drop. This would avoid constant copy-pasting and errors that are sneaking into copyied content.

author: grant.foster
body: [@Sam Lucas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5105690) - Is this still on the roadmap somewhere?   

It's a feature we'd be keen on. Less so for use on the same page, or static content but content that would update across Confluence. So we could centrally publish a piece of information, other teams/spaces could use that block and then if we ever updated it, it was also update across Confluence.

Ignore me - this is what Excerpts are for and I just forgot the name of them!


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Toni,

Happy New Year, and welcome to the community!

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but you could utilize the [Excerpt macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-macro/) to mark content you want to reuse and then the [Excerpt include macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-include-macro/) to reuse it on a page. However, you should be aware that the content has to be accessible by the user, or else they won't see it on the page.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Take care,

Shannon \| Atlassian Cloud Support


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

No, this can't be done. Atlassian expect you to use templates to create new pages with blocks of content pre-definied or prompting you for details - instead of "copying and pasting" from old meetings, you could just use the built-in meeting template, or define your own.

Create page with REST API with old editor (not the new one)?
Asked by Hauke H?rhold:

Hi, how could I create a page using REST API that uses the old editor?

I thought maybe like triggering the new one, but with v1 instead, like:

```
"body": {

     "representation": "storage"
  },
"metadata": {
  "properties": {
     "editor": {

     }
  }
 }
}
```

Get particular paragraphs on the Confluence page
Asked by Galina Grudinina:

Hello,   
I have a Confluence page with 3 sections. Inside each section, the link to the Jira ticket can be added.  
My task is to check each section for updates and if there are any I have to retrieve the titles.  
Attaching the template of the page.  

I've tried to call the endpoint below, but the response is very big.  
url = "<https://domain-name/confluence/wiki/rest/api/content>"  

I've also tried to call this, but the response is again too big:  
<https://domain-name/confluence/wiki/rest/api/content/{page_id}?expand=body.view>  
If I use <https://atlassian-python-api.readthedocs.io/confluence.html#page-actions> and try to call:  
confluence.get_page_properties(page_id)
I'm not getting enough info  
I'm wondering if something from here will be useful, but I don't have space key: <https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.6.0/#content-getContent>

body: Hi [@Galina Grudinina](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5094911) ,

Instead of calling all pages in Confluence via "<https://domain-name/confluence/wiki/rest/api/content>" you can try to limit the results by searching for keywords or labels using [CQL](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/) (Confluence Query Language) like below:
> [https://domain-name/confluence/wiki/rest/api/content/search?cql=text%20\~%20](https://domain-name/confluence/wiki/rest/api/content/search?cql=text%20~%20)"advanced%20search"%20AND%20label=docs

It will search for pages having "docs" as label and text "advanced search" in its body. Hope this helps!

Import an xml file into Confluence containing Page Property Macros
Asked by Mark Timperley:

I have an xml file that was exported from another application. It contains data I would like to start managing using Confluence (i.e. migrating this data from a rigid application to Confluence, where we can define our own workflow).

I would like to import this file into a Confluence space, creating Page Property Macro tables with the data it contains. This is not practical to do by hand, since I anticipate 100's of pages created from the data in this xml file.

How can I do this? I can write code to read/write/modify the xml file to whatever format confluence would require for import, but I need to understand that format and how to perform the import.

As a proof of concept, I was able to convert the data in the xml file into an MS Word document containing tables and then import that into Confluence, but there is no way to specify Page Property Macros in MS Word, so I had a bunch of tables, but could not build reports with the data using the Page Properties Report Macro. Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I think the only way to do this would be to transform your XML into some that looks like a Confluence space export, and then import it.

The best thing I can think to do is create a new space, edit the new home page, putting the page property macros you want to see on it, and export the space to XML. You should be able to see the wrappers around the content, and how to embed the macros.

Note that the format can vary by version, so it's worth doing this from the Confluence you are going to import into.

Adding User-Directory in confluence

welcome to the Atlassian community!

As said by [@Melo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3868701) it is a permission issue. There is a difference between a Confluence System Administrator and a Confluence Administartor (for more information take a look here <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/global-permissions-overview-138709.html>).

You are a Confluence Administrator and, in order to setup User Directories, you need to be a Confluence **system** administrator.

Restrict blog per sub-page
Asked by Sarah Killeen:

My team have a Confluence page with many sub-pages. Can we restrict the blog functionality per sub-page? the reason being that each project is a sub-page and we don't want blog posts relating to project A being broadcast out to project B resources unnecessarily


Answers:
author: Nicolai Sibler
body: Hi [@Sarah Killeen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4895069) ,

you can restrict blogposts the same way as you can restrict pages. Use the view + edit restriction here. This way, you don't have to work with labels and you prevent watchers from getting unnecessary mail.

Authors of blogposts should restrict their articles before publishing them. If the project members are organized in Confluence groups, this is done in seconds. (If they're not, create groups.)

Hope that helps!

Kind regards,

Nicolai


author: Curt Holley
body: I agree with [@Florian Bonniec](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/495589)

<br />

If each project had a space (rather than just a page at a certain level of the page tree in a space with all the other projects) then all blogs within would be about that project.

<br />

Or as Florian suggests, if all projects in the one space, then by the diligent use of labels and settings within the Blog posts macro, correct routing of the blogs could be achieved.


author: Florian Bonniec
body: Hi [@Sarah Killeen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4895069)

Not sure to understand but I would say no. Blog post are stored in another hierarchy in each space. It's strutured base on a date and not any paretn page.

You can change the way you manage the project by for instance create 1 space/project or manage every blog post with labels and display them using the blogpost macro in a more standard page.
