Are team members notified when they have been added to a card or tagged in a comment?
Asked by Joanna Turska:

I'm trying to understand how communication works within a team? In my team each member will have their own board and will be able to use lists and cards to post information about their work but also to ask questions and voice issues etc. If a member wants all other team members to know they've created a card does he/she need to add them all to that card? And if yes, will all the members get an email notification about the card being created? Thank you!

As I understand, each member will have their own board. But will the other team members also be a part of that board? Because in order to get notifications of additions or [@Clementii Cicali](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2025903)

How do I notify team members that I created a card?
Asked by Joanna Turska:

I know that I can add members to my cards and they can see those cards in their profile but is there a way to notify them that they have been added to a card?

comments: author: Joanna Turska
body: Yes, thank you, I know tagging works for notifying members they've been added to a card.

What I'm trying to confirm is whether members who joined a board and don't watch it will be automatically notified when a card is created in it?

I've created a test account yesterday to check this and the only notifications I got were for:

- boards I 'watch' (that a card has been created there)

- cards I 'watch' or ones I'm tagged in

I did not get any notifications about cards being created in boards I 'joined'. Also, no notifications about lists being added.

So in summary - do you have to 'watch' a board to be notified about what's happening there without being tagged?

If that's the case, could you explain the purpose of 'joining' a board please? Are you not able to 'watch' without joining first?

Sorry for the lengthy message and thank you!

Limit on number of options in each Trello custom field?
Asked by GA:

There's a limit of 50 custom fields per Trello board, that's well understood.

However, Trello (on the browser) does not seem to accept more than 50 options in a single dropdown-type custom field.

Specifically, I made a custom field named "Project", expecting to use it to choose one of around 70 running projects for each card. After 50 options though, there was no input field for item 51.

Attaching a couple of screenshots (with option numbers instead of project names). The first image shows the creation of item #50 and the second one shows the inability to add item #51.

In the [help article about Custom Fields](https://help.trello.com/article/1067-using-the-custom-fields-power-up "Trello help article about Custom Fields"), under 'Custom Field Limits', it says
> A board can have up to 50 Custom Fields defined on a board. Any number of cards on the board can have values set for each field.

No limit on the number of options per field is mentioned.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

GA

As to its documentation, it appears that some limits are not widely published, as they 'expect most people won't run into them'.

The option to add formatting to placeholder text has been raised as a suggestion to Atlassian some time ago. However, as of today, this has been ruled out by Atlassian. You can check the original request here:

For short, we are not able to add formatting to Placeholder Text.

How to add a second column showing Additional Info
Asked by Lauren Bertsch:

How do I create a page in Confluence that has a column referencing related links and pages on the right hand side without impacting the formatting of the information on the left hand side. See Confluence page linked as an example:

author: Diego
body: Hey there [@Lauren Bertsch](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4308457)!

This is an interesting formatting option. We use it throughout our documentation, as you have noticed!

You can achieve a similar result by using *Layouts.*In Confluence, layouts allow us to have two different sections of the page side by side, much like what you need to achieve.

You can check how to use layouts here:
> [Confluence Cloud - Format your page - Layouts](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-formatting-to-your-page/#Addformattingtoyourpage-layoutsLayouts)

The closes to what you see in the referenced page is the two-column layout where the left column is wider:

How to show all attachments of pages in a space under a specific parent?
Asked by Vita Gilin:

How to show all attachments of pages in a space under a specific parent?

The following CQL does not return anything:

type = "attachment" and label = "xyz" and space = currentSpace() and text \~ "\*.html" and ancestor = "12345"


Answers:
author: Thiago Masutti
body: Hi [@Vita Gilin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4360779)   
I hope you are well.

The ancestor directive won't work when filtering for attachments.

You can use the [container](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/#container) filter option, but that requires you to list all the target pages that may contain the attachment.

Also, other filters, such as label, will apply to the attachment and not to the page.

Let me know if that helps.

Kind regards,

How can I prevent text wrap around iframes?
Asked by Gordon B:

We're using the UI tabs macro to embed iframes to display Sparx diagrams, and following that with text notes using Confluence text editing. The expected result is that the text will show below the iframe, but it wraps to the side of the frame and the space is very hard to read.

Here's an example:  

![example of problem in Confluence iframe and text layout.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/139911i2DFF897ABFE27A4C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "example of problem in Confluence iframe and text layout.png")

Workaround: make the iframe width narrower. It works, but the Prolaborate image requires more scrolling.

Note that the text displayed as expected until something changed in Confluence a few months ago.

I have tried using Sections, and inserting the following text in the iframe but neither works. Sections resulted in no change and when I added the text inside the iframe it just disappeared.

Any help would be appreciated.

BIG WORDS

Answers:

Some pages not being found, nothing has changed Confluence side.
Asked by Harry O_Connor:

We are currently having an issue where some sub pages in areas are showing the error:

"Page Not Found

The page you were trying to reach could not be found: it may have been renamed or moved to another space, or the name you requested may be incomplete."

Yet strangely on the "In this Space" it shows the beginning parts of the pages that are showing this error as a preview, but you click the link it gives you the same error.

I have rebuilt the Confluence Index and restarted Confluence a couple of times.

Confluence wise nothing has changed and this only seems to be effecting a minor amount of pages.

The only change that has happened server side (a few weeks ago) was a move from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04, in my testing afterwards Confluence seemed to be running normally.

Has anyone else had a similar issue?


Answers:
author: Peter Kuipers
body: Yes, same issues here.

e also upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04. I don't know if there is any connection with it.

I would say let's redo the pages. Unfortunately, the orphaned pages cannot be deleted. Very annoying.

Does somebody has any idea?

comments: author: Harry O_Connor
body: I actually wound up resolving this, I had to restore from snapshot to the 18.04 server. At which point I exported the Postgres Database to a file.  

I then created a brand new Confluence Server from scratch on 20.04, I then imported the Attachments and Database from the old Server.

This has worked fine since.

Attachment import issue while migrating to On-prem datacenter
Asked by Jobin Jose:

We are importing backup from confluence cloud to on-prem datacenter. We see the user profile pictures are not appearing.

Has anyone used script from <https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/confluence-support-fix-missing-attachments/src/master/>

There are files like user profiles and attachments form personal spaces in the backup directory those are not exported by this script. Is there a way we can include profile pictures to get imported?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Jobin Jose](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3223043)

I have never used the script but reading through the document it does not seem like it will rectify the profile picture issue. The issue is most likely that the database information is missing and does not transfer from Cloud to DC. I think it would take a while to construct the mapping to create a SQL script to get the images associated with each user. It might be easier to ask each user to update.

Synchronization between wiki Confluence calendar and Outlook

Hi everyone,

Is there an option to synchronize between wiki Calendar confluence and Outlook?

I tried with CalDav and it always has errors in the synchronization when I put the link of Wiki.

thanks for your question. We have an integration in place so you can use real-time data from Microsoft 365 in your Confluence calendars, no sync is needed. You can easily add Outlook calendars to Confluence pages or spaces.

This is the link to the server version of the app: [Outlook Calendars for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217554/outlook-calendars-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview "Outlook Calendars for Confluence")

Is there an upper limit on number of rows in a table in Confluence?
Asked by Mischa Gulseven:

I have quite a large table in Confluence, and recently have noticed that it has been split into 4 separate tables. It is fairly random which rows in the table have been put into which table, and we have ended up with duplicate entries across all these tables.

I have not done this, so wondered whether this is something to do with a limitation in Confluence which limits the number of rows in a single table?

If this is the case, what is the best way around this to avoid duplicates and keep all the rows in a single table (if possible)?


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Mischa Gulseven](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4361131) ,

We don't know about any limitations for the size of manually created Confluence tables (they are supposed to be unlimited) but we are aware that sometimes you can experience unstable behavior with really large tables.

As a workaround, we suggest using apps that allow you to recreate tables from the CSV attachments and URLs (Google Spreadsheets). For example, you may try our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app and its [Table from CSV](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+CSV+macro) macro or other similar apps from the Atlassian Marketplace.

We often use the Table from CSV macro in our company to show statistics right in Confluence, 7000 row tables are processed just fine.
