Due Date Completion - For All Board Members?
Asked by Emily Valbonesi:

I have a board for the staff of my Toronto office, and would like to add tasks for all employees to complete (ex - reading and signing new policy by X date).

If I create a card with a due date, and someone marks it as complete, does it mean that all the task will show complete for all members on that card? Or will the task show complete for the employee who ticked the complete box?

I'm sure this is a fairly simple answer, but I am new to Trello and want to understand how things work before rolling it out to my team,

Thank you.

author: C_ Derek Fields
body: [@Mohamed Adel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1185930) is correct. The completion flag is associated with the task. Assigning a task to multiple people is like saying "One of you should complete this task" not "All of you should complete this task"

You might consider creating your board as a list per person. When the person completes the task, they can move it to a Completed list so that the only tasks in their list are their active tasks.

comments: author: Emily Valbonesi
body: Sorry, can you clarify for me what you mean by "creating your board as a list per person"?

Do you mean creating a card for each person, and assigning the task to be complete there?


author: C_ Derek Fields
body: Your board would contain a list for each person. For example, as list for Judy, a list for Craig, a list for John, etc. You would create cards in each person's list for things that they need to do with due dates. This would make it easy for you and each person to see what is on their list.

When they mark a Card as complete, they either archive it or move it to a Completed list.

An alternative is use a checklist on the task. There would be a line in the checklist for each person. For instance, the card would be "Read and sign the new policy by XX date". Then you would have a checklist with each person's name. As each person reads/signs, they would check their box. When all of the boxes are checked, you would have a completed task. It isn't the same as assignment, but it means creating a single card for the task.


author: Emily Valbonesi
body: Thank you Derek!

Both suggestions are great.


author: Mohamed Adel
body: [@Emily Valbonesi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3564936)

as far i know , Due date is related to the card not to the task. you need to mark the each of your team task as "complete".

if any body update the status of the Card/Task it will be displayed for every team members assigned to the board.

comments: author: Emily Valbonesi
body: That makes sense.

So would there be a way to assign the same task to multiple people, and track their completion progress individually?

I need to get the permissions for some conflunece spaces using external scripts
Asked by Peter Newton:

Hi,

I am running a script to get all the spaces from our confluence server, then I filter them according to some conditions.

For selected spaces, I need to get their permissions.

I checked the documentation but I can only see some POST actions that are supported. I need to GET

Anyone can help?

Thank you,

body: Hi [@Peter Newton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3572370) ,

looks like this is not possible with Confluence Server API. When calling the REST API endpoint /api/space, you can see that this options does not exist :

```
{ "id":98306, 

"key":"TEST", 

"name":"Test", 

"type":"global", 

"_links": { "webui":"/display/TEST", "collection":"/rest/api/space", 

"base":"xxx:8090", 

"context":"", 

"self":"xxx:8090/rest/api/space/TEST"}, 

"_expandable": { "metadata":"", "icon":"", "description":"", "homepage":"/rest/api/content/65576" } 

}
```

<br />

However, some users have managed to get this information with the Java API but this would basically require to write a plugin for your server instance.

This is an interesting thread on the Developer community that you can have a look at : <https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/rest-api-space-qywh-expand-permissions/13092/11>

Let me know if this helps,

Are you looking to just see all issue types that haven't been assigned? You could use a JQL filter (project = x and assignee is EMPTY) and populate all issues in a project where the assignee is empty.

Hope this helps.

Answers:

body: Hi [@steve.farmer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3868459) ,

The standard Confluence macros that collect one-row tables are Page Properties/Page Properties Report macros. [Here](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-report-macro/) you can find some documentation and [here](https://youtu.be/OiJ43YlminU) you can check a short video-tutorial.

If you need to collect multiple-row tables, you may use our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) (available for Cloud/Server/DC). Its Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros will do the trick. [Here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) is some documentation and [here](https://stiltsoft.com/blog/2020/10/how-to-create-reports-from-multiple-confluence-tables/) is a blog post with a real-life use case for you to check.

The further steps are to filter, aggregate and visualize your combined dynamic reports. [Here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+the+app+with+Page+Properties+Report) are several examples of the dashboards that you can get using our app.

Hope this may help your case.

I created a template with variables but why don't they show up on a page?

Page not found for Multi-Excerpt Include
Asked by Lynette Perkins:

I added a multiexcerpt on a published page, published, then tried to include it on another page and am getting the following error:

Page with title '2PSPP:Social Pillar: Outcomes, KPIs and Pillar Status' could not be found. Please enter valid page title or check your permission.

I am the admin for our org and have full permissions. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I am not sure I am understanding the question here, and I don't want to try to answer for the wrong situation.

The bit I am fuzzy on is "I added a multiexcerpt on a published page, published, then tried to include it on another page".

Assuming page A has some blocks of content wrapped in a multi-excerpt macros, then are you getting this error when

* You are editing page B and trying to use the multi-excerpt macro to get bits of page A into it
* You are trying to include page B (which contains multi-excerpt results) in another page (or excerpt)

For what it's worth, I'm betting on the first case, but I'm only 75% sure on that. If it is the first case, then I have a vague memory of several macros, possibly including the multi-excerpt one, struggling to identify which : is the space/page separator in page names. In other words, try renaming '2PSPP:Social Pillar: Outcomes, KPIs and Pillar Status' to '2PSPP:Social Pillar - Outcomes, KPIs and Pillar Status' or something similar - lose the colon in the name of the page, I suspect the macro is looking for a space called '2PSPP:Social Pillar' instead of the space that actually exists called '2PSPP'

I have the free version. Can I create a simple form macro?
Asked by Kirk Gonzalez:

Hi,

I have the free cloud Confluence version. (It's just me, trying to learn some things on Confluence)

I was looking at the Service Rocket Scaffolding - Creating a Simple Form. [Creating a Simple Form - Scaffolding Forms \& Templates (servicerocket.com)](https://docs.servicerocket.com/scaffolding/user-guide/basic-tutorials/creating-a-simple-form)

I was following the directions and got to the part where it said, "In the cell next to Name, create a Text macro," and it showed that I should type "{text" and a macro suggestion dialog would appear for me to select Text Data.

The dialog did not appear for me. It looks like I'm only typing text. Is it not possible for me to create macros, no matter how simple? I tried to look for other options, like going to the Admin Console window, but I can't get to that either. I thought I would be the admin since it's only my site, but maybe that is not a feature for the free version?

Any help on how to complete this simple macro above is appreciated. Even knowing it can't be done is helpful, so I'm not wasting my time.

Oh, by the way, I'm a complete newbie on Confluence. I used it as a technical writer for the source content at my last job, but I've not written in it before. I'm trying to learn as much as possible for my new job starting next week, where I'll be writing documentation in Confluence.

Thanks,

How to optimise pictures
Asked by Ethan Lewis:

I have a page with over 200 pictures (all logos of brands) in a list format with other information next to them, as you can imagine, this is a very slow page.  

I've attempted to take each image and turn then from PNG's to JPEG's but for some reason they upload bigger in size?   

Is there any way I can host these pictures elsewhere like dropbox or google drive and then link them to show in confluence to help speed it up?


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Hi [@Ethan Lewis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4191782) ,

I guess that those images are in full resolution? Maybe you can create small versions of the logos attach it and show this on page that is viewed (slow) but for download you can keep the logos attached to a different site (page / space) that is normally not used for view. Simply add download in high resolution button and it would try to refer to those larger attachments.

Confluence number field values getting corrupted with German users
Asked by Ananth Konnackaparambil Sajeev Kumar:

Some of my users in Germany are reporting a problem with the Staffing Counts number fields on the Confluence project dashboard.  

Steps  
- enter values into Staffing Counts, eg. 2 and 4  
- edit the project and change other fields, the values are shown as 2.0 and 4.0 (but aren't changed) and saved  
- the values are now 20 and 40  
- the next time the project is edited and saved, the values become 200 and 400, then 2000 and 4000, etc.  

The assumption is that the number formats are causing a problem. In German number formats, the comma and decimal are reversed So 1,000.5 is displayed for them as 1.000,5 Because of this when the field resets to showing as 2.0, this could confuse things.

Has anyone seen a similar issue before? Is there a bug ticket?

Any leads would be greatly appreciated!
