How do I change the length of time on a pomodoro?
Asked by inkfilaments:

I haven't used trello and pomello in several years and my boards are set to 90 minute pomodoros, which I preferred for novel writing. However, now that I'm working on different task, I'd like to re-set the pomodors to the original 25-minute length with standard breaks. I can't figure out how to do that.

Help and suggestions appreciated!

I never knew their is a powerup like this. May I know if you have checked their **[official site](https://pomodoneapp.com/pomodoro-timer-for-trello.html)**as they have got some updates recently.
How long before a board invite expires?
Asked by Kelly Wergin:

I've seen this question asked many times, but there hasn't been a definitive answer. How long before a Trello board invite link expires?  
They do expire. I've had it happen many times, and have has to update the links. I haven't been able to discern any rhyme or reason as why or when they do.

Thanks

author: Guilherme Michelotto
body: Heyo Kelly,  

Welcome to the Community, awesome to have you here joining the Trello family!  

So, they actually *do not* expire. What might happen from time to time- and probably what gave you this impression - is that sometimes we change things in the background to make some tweaks and adjustments, and it might break old board invitation links.   

Also, if the board member loses their [member permissions](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/inviting-people-by-using-a-shareable-link/#:~:text=Please%20note%20that,continue%20to%20work.), any invitation links that they might have generated will stop working.  

Hope that clears things out!

Asked by Daniele Felizardo:

n?o consigo manter a formata??o do texto para poder enviar em outros aplicativos?


Answers:
author: Dan
body: Hi,

Are you able to explain a bit more what your issue is? Are you unable to copy from Trello or is it an automation issue?

If you are looking to export content of a board you can use a power up like "Board Export (Excel, CSV, PDF, Image)" to easily export content to an excel file.
Amazing Fields - update not showing in Activity log
Asked by Manoj:

Hello all - my first question here :)

When I update an Amazing Fields value in a dropdown setup, is the change not logged in the Activity section at the bottom?

Because there are multiple team members accessing a card, I would like to know who did the update.

I have Trello Custom Fields on another board, when I update the value (a checkbox), the update is logged in the Activity section - so I know who did it and when.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Allen -Amazing PowerUps-
body: Feel free to followup directly at support@amazingpowerups.com with questions related to Amazing Fields. Since it is a powerup, it is general not supported in Trello community but instead in the powerup specific support areas.

That said, I think what you are looking for is the "Show activity of changes" setting on the field under the "Card Display" option.
Trello Bluecat reporting
Asked by Peter Cranston:

Hi,  
I am using trello and bluecat reporting for an international engineering company and my client has requested that we provide blue cat reports based on filtering exact matches on at least two labels.  
If we filter on two labels we get an OR return rather then the required AND return.  
Trello allows exact matching, but it looks like blue cat does not.  
Appreciate it if anyone can advise if this functionality exists  
Regards,  
Peter C.


Answers:
author: Silvia
body: Hi [@Peter Cranston](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4997002)

The current filtering adds in any result with those labels rather than results restricted to those labels. We only have "or" based filtering at this time, unfortunately. I've added in a request for "and" filtering so we may accommodate this in the future.  

If dealing with a limited combination of labels, an alternative for right now would be to create a 3rd label (via Automation) that is added when label 1 \& 2 are on the same card. Hope this helps.

Cheers!

comments: author: Peter Cranston
body: Thanks for the swift response. I look forward to the "OR" based filtering option in the future.

How do i copy the label I added in parent card to the linked card with Butler?
Asked by Theodora Sampalou:

Hello,

I am trying to add a rule that can add the label I just added to the parent card, to the first linked card in the attachments.

Do you have any idea how I can do this?

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Dan
body: It is possible to do what you are looking for. All you have to do is create a label that has no color and has some sort of name like this.

![Label Creation.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216711i07A4C96F51CF5534/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Label Creation.png")

After creating this label and selecting remove color you can reference it in butler rules like this.

![Butler Rule 1.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216712i589701DF01FDD711/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Butler Rule 1.PNG")Then you can simply select and rewrite the name of the label to be a variable and not a fixed label.

Like this:

![Butler Rule 2.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216713i6FFC56E700957FE4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Butler Rule 2.PNG")

You can also use the variable {labelcolor}.

It's annoying to do but it does work. Trello needs to make this more native to the "add the label to the card" function.

comments: author: Theodora Sampalou
body: Thank you very much!


author: N Anissa
body: Hello! Trying to see if I could implement the same thing, but with a linked card that lives on a different board?

Also, where should the no-color label be attached to? Is it the trigger/parent card?

Edit Google docs in Preview mode
Asked by Rob Maud:

I saw [this video](https://youtu.be/3G-6reD0e60) on editing Google docs while still in Trello using the Preview mode. I can however only view and not edit the doc while in Trello. Even though the doc I create is shared with anyone with the link (and can edit).  

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: RichardDawson
body: It's interesting that you're trying to edit Google Docs directly within Trello using the Preview mode. However, keep in mind that sometimes features and integrations can vary based on updates and compatibility.  
Regarding your issue, it's possible that changes in settings or updates have affected the functionality you're trying to use. If you're still facing this problem, I recommend checking for any recent updates or changes in Trello or Google Docs that might address or impact this feature.  
By the way, if you're ever in need of brochure templates for your projects, you might want to check out the [brochure template google docs](https://freelydocs.com/docstemplates/brochure-templates/). Hope you find a solution to your editing concern!


author: Victor N
body: Hi Rob, sorry that you aren't able to edit your Google docs from the board. I just tested this again and it works for me.

Are using the browser app and is it possible you can share a short screen recording of what happens when you try editing docs this way?   
You can also reach out to us via <https://trello.com/contact>, we are happy to further investigate and help with this.

Can two bamboo remote agents share the same build working area?
Asked by Nigel Longton:

We have a CI server that is running multiple agents - currently the agents dont share any build area. This leads to multiple svn checkouts of the same code depending in which agent builds a plan.

Can I set up the agents to share the build area so make checkouts 'quicker'?


Answers:
author: Przemek Bruski
body: Bamboo will do that automatically if you disable concurrent builds. There's no other way.

comments: author: Nigel Longton
body: surely i have to configure each agent to have the same build area in their config files as well?


author: Przemek Bruski
body: I thought you were talking about local agents. If you're using remote agents, yes, you do have to specify the same build directory in bamboo-agent.cfg.xml.


author: Przemek Bruski
body: In general, such setup for remote agents is neither recommended nor supported - but it may work.


author: schow-lmi3d
body: Wouldn't using the same build directory for two remote agents cause conflict? For example, if a plan is run twice, the Same build directory would be used and cause issues.

Conditional Builds
Asked by Alex Knowles:

Hi,

Sorry for the possibly vague and off topic question,

Our software is split into several different modules (split along language eg flash / perl / flex etc), although (at the moment) all in one git repo.

The modules change at different speeds, and take different lengths of time to build, but all produce rpms.

I'd like to change our bamboo setup to only build a module if the source for that changes (otherwise use the previously built rpm)

Is Maven the right tool for this job? Or Artifactory? Or both?!

Ideally we'd carry on using the branch triggered building and be able to mix and match the generated rpm artifacts to represent the state of the source in any branch without having to rebuild.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Yours \&c.

Alex


Answers:
author: James Dumay
body: Hi Alex,

If you split each module up so it can be built by different plans you can get them to build individually or in a dependant order.

Take for this example, you have two Modules - Module A and Module B.

If module B depends on module A, you can configure [Dependency Blocking](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO40/Dependency+blocking+strategies) so that if Module B is run and its parent (in this case Module A) has changes, it will trigger a build of module A before triggering module B.

This will work even if you are using the same source repository.

Are you using [Plan Branches](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO40/Using+plan+branches) to manage your branch builds? At the moment we do not support dependencies between branch builds but we are looking at [adding support for Branch Dependecies](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-10804) in the next release of Bamboo.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions :)

Thanks  
James
Which agent binaries need to be used to create a custom AMI for use by Bamboo OnDemand?
Asked by Duncan White:

Hi,

I'm following the instructions at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO40/Creating+a+custom+elastic+image> to create a custom AMI to run our test suite through Bamboo OnDemand (I need to create a custom image as the test instance needs to be 64-bit, but the default Bamboo image has a 32-bit OS).

In section 5.3.2 I need to work out the imageVer value to use when installing the bamboo agent, so I'm following the steps in section 2 to determine this. I understand Bamboo OnDemand is running version 3.0.4, so I'm looking in <https://maven.atlassian.com/content/repositories/atlassian-public/com/atlassian/bamboo/atlassian-bamboo/3.0.4/atlassian-bamboo-3.0.4.pom> for the elastic-image.version tag, but it doesn't seem to be there.

What is the correct imageVer value to use at step 5.3.2?

Thanks,

Duncan


Answers:
author: James Dumay
body: Hi Duncan,

You will need to follow the [guide for Bamboo 3.0](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO030/Creating+a+Custom+Elastic+Image), as this is the version that is currenlty deployed to Bamboo OnDemand.

We are in the process of upgrading Bamboo OnDemand to Bamboo 4.0 (we have no public release date just yet) which has the added benifit that you will not need to re-customize ec2 images when we update Bamboo.

Let me know if you run into any problems.

Thanks

bamboo.buildTimeStamp format
Asked by Jason Wandel:

Hi all,

We're rolling some projects across from Hudson into Bamboo and have hit a problem with one of them.

This project builds with Ant and uses some of the Hudson timestamp variables to set the build time into an environment variable. The environment variable is in turn used to create a specific build folder.

I tried to do the same thing using Bamboo's buildTimeStamp variable, but unfortunately for me it is listed as "ISO8601" which means that it gives a full dump in the full format specified in that standard - including some characters that the OS doesn't like as part of directory names.

I can't find anything to suggest that alternate formatting which are also part of that standard are supported, or how to specify them.

I'd like the timestamp in DDMMYYYY format, so is anyone able to help with able to get that output from this variable?

In the meantime, I'm just going to set it to use the build number so the project can at least execute.

TIA,

Jason \[SolveIT Software\]


Answers:
author: James Dumay
body: Hi Jason,

There isn't any way to change the bamboo.buildTimeStamp format, however I've [opened up an improvement request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-11636) to add a similar variable that outputs to a simpler date format that is more file system friendly.

Thanks

James

comments: author: Jason Wandel
body: Thanks for that James, I'll watch for the enhancement in some future Bamboo release... but as I said we'll just use the build ID for the moment, and that's successful.


author: Tim Pokorny
body: I'm having the same issue. All I really want is "yyyyMMdd"


author: chad larkin
body: You can actually set a plan variable to the system date if this is building on a linux machine by setting the value of the plan variable to something like

```
$(date +"%m-%d-%y-%l-%M-%S")
```

This will return as mm-dd-yy-hh-mm-ss. You could change the format to that of your liking. However this will not transfer to a deployment plan as the deployment plan picks up the string and not the value returned by it.


author: Magnus Heino
body: Workaround for now:

Create a script task in bamboo:

```
echo "&lt;?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?&gt;" &gt; timestamp.pomecho "&lt;project xmlns=\"http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0\" xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:schemaLocation=\"http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd\"&gt;" &gt;&gt; timestamp.pomecho -n "&lt;version&gt;" &gt;&gt; timestamp.pomecho -n `date +'%Y%m%d%H%M%S'` &gt;&gt; timestamp.pomecho "&lt;/version&gt;" &gt;&gt; timestamp.pomecho "&lt;/project&gt;" &gt;&gt; timestamp.pom
```

Use the "Maven POM Value Extractor" plugin. Override the project file in this task to read from timestamp.pom

Now the custom timestamp is available in ${bamboo.maven.version}

Multiple Repositories with one job
Asked by Hiren Shah:

Hi,

I would like to build my project based on the files from the multiple svn repositories. First repo URL is <http://host1/svn/properties> and second repo URL is <http://host1/svn/services>. I have two tasks configured for checking out from each of this repo. Here, working directory is default for both.

Questions

1. Does the code get checked out under the working directory or under working_directory/<http://host1/svn/services> and working_directory/<http://host1/svn/properties>?

2. I have three tasks under one job. First task is to checkout from repo-1. Second task is to checkout from repo-2 and the third task is to run build.xml that got checked out with repo-2. Now, I have unchecked "Force Clean Build" with both task-1 and task-2. However, my files from task-1 get deleted from the working directory and all I am left with is the files from task-2. Is there a way I can stop the task-2 from deleting all the files under working directory?

3. Before, I run the third task, build.xml, I would like to copy some of the files from repo-1 to the checked out directories of repo-2. How do I do that?

4. Is there a better way to pull files from two repositories, then bring files from 1st repo to the directory structure in the 2\<sup\>nd\</sup\> repo?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Przemek Bruski
body: 1. Under the directory you specify in the checkout task.

2. You cannot checkout two SVN repositories into the same directory structure, the .svn metadata directories will clash and trigger checkout directory cleanup.

3. You can check them out into separate directories and run a script task to copy or symlink them.

4. You can try using SVN externals to construct the working directory you want.
Remote Agent Using too much virtual memory
Asked by John Bowker:

We've been using Bamboo for a couple months and noticed that when you install a remote agent as a Windows service it starts to consume vast amounts of virtual memory to the point where the service needs to be stopped and restarted.

Is there something in the remote agent configuration that can be edited to limit virtual memory use or is this a memory leak with the remote agent code?


Answers:
author: Przemek Bruski
body: Java programs eat as much memory as you give them. The default for heap is 512MB (there are some other memory types than heap, but heap is the biggest one). That limit is enforced by Java and the agent cannot exceed it.

If the agent reaches 500-700MB and stays there, that's normal. If it runs out of memory (dies / shows OutOfMemory errors), you should [contact support](http://support.atlassian.com). They will ask you for a heap dump, so if you know how to create it, you should attach it to the issue.

You can decrease the upper memory limit by modifying wrapper.java.maxmemory in the wrapper.conf file located in your agent home directory. You should be able to reduce it to 256MB without much problems - but if you run of memory, keep in mind that's unsupported.
