Importing table data into Confluence database
Asked by Kabin Gurung:

Hello, I'm checking out the confluence databases beta mode. I am trying to import my table data from another confluence page. The table has fields with name, image, department, hobby, and email. Since you can access the users already registered in your organization space, I want the email field to be recognized as users automatically when I import the table data.  
Is there any way?


Answers:
author: Brian Smith
body: Hello,

In searching for a way to do this myself I discovered there was an import feature under the ... more options menu of the database page. When I tried to use this I discovered this option only allows the import (upload) of CSV or HTML files, and not other tables within Confluence. So I exported my target Confluence table to word, and then from word exported the table to a CSV. I was then able to import that CSV to the Confluence Database.

Adding related pages links
Asked by Mingo_ Sheilah A_:

Where are the key words that related pages use to populate the related pages?

Pages are populating but the wrong pages.

Here is a great document on how related pages work and how to understand why they are being shown. <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/discover-relevant-content-with-related-pages/>

You can help improve it by properly organizing content in Confluence. You can also hide it if you are not satisfied with the results. This will give you time to improve your content and as the related page results improve you can turn it back on.


author: Michel Neeser
body: Hi [@Mingo_ Sheilah A_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5411581) and welcome!

Related pages generally don't work via keywords, but are based on whether they are "organized together" or "often read together". You can find more information on this [here](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/discover-relevant-content-with-related-pages/).

Hope this helps!

How do i stop the page hanging every 5 seconds?
Asked by Ash P:

When editing a confluence page, it seems to pause? hang? every five seconds. All of the buttons are greyed out, you cannot type. this lasts for half a second. It is impossible to work like this. is this normal behavior and can it be stopped?

I have tried changing the autosave interval to 1 minute - but this has no impact.

Running on Chrome.

Any help appreciated


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Ash P](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5411468) This can happen when your internet connection is unstable and Confluence pauses editing so it doesn't lose changes you've made.

If you can test out a different kind of internet connection, are you still having the same problem?

comments: author: Ash P

Pages and data created is linked to the wrong user
Asked by Natasha:

I have two users with a similar name/email (differentiated by adding1 to user 2s email/username) I have edited user 1 with the email address of user 2 and subsequently linked all pages and kbs created by user 1 to user 2. Both users are active in Atlassian Jira and Confluence, so I can't delete user 2 (newest user without much data created) and reinvite them. What is the most efficient way to unlink user 2 from user 1s data/pages etc.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Natasha](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4996636) if both users share the same email address there is no way to merge the accounts in cloud yet. <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ID-240> if the users are separate accounts there is not a way to migrate data. For jira issues you could do a bulk update to reassign issue or add / remove a user as a watcher.

NDA digital signature
Asked by Mesum Muhammad:

I have created a confluence page for Non Disclosure agreement and I would like to add a digital signature to it . Next I want to use Jira automation to send an email with the NDA attached ? Can anyone help me out?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hello [@Mesum Muhammad](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5400454)   

In the Atlassian marketplace, Confluence Apps/Cloud - search for "digital signature" - there are two apps that should do what you want to achieve.

Other than that, there might be a similar feature in various workflow/approval apps (e.g. Comala Document Management) that feature ISO-grade approval tools.


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: Hi [@Mesum Muhammad](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5400454) ,

There are multiple addons in the marketplace offering signature functionality ( we make [Document Control for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217765/document-control-for-confluence-cloud) ), I would recommend to test [Contract Signatures for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1227930/contract-signatures-for-confluence), as it allows to send the document by email.

How to filter records by date range using "created" metadata field in Confiforms TableView
Asked by Anne Luckey:

I would like a TableView to filter records by a specific date range based on the "created" metadata field.

Initially, I had users submit a date, and filtered for entries based on this field. Example: I used "**date:\<\[date20240102\] AND date:\>\[date20231212\]**" to only display entries where the user selected a date between December 12, 2023 - January 2, 2024.

I want to omit having users submit a specific date (and delete the "date" field), and perform the same function **based on the metadata field "created".**

Can someone help me with what I should use in the "filter to apply on entries dataset" to accomplish this?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Anne Luckey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5411387)

created:<[date20240102] AND created:>[date20231212]
```

Alex

comments: author: Anne Luckey
body: Hi Alex, thanks for your response! I appreciate your help - I was overthinking it.

Is there a way to view the metadata fields when toggling "view/edit form data", or is it only possible in a View macro?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Admin UI does not show those fields in separate columns

Only when you hover over the row

But you can always create a custom view over your collected data and include those fields

author: Miles Smith
body: I'm thinking - is there a way to filter records in a tableview by the current date (so a table only shows records, such as milestones, that exist before or after the current date).

Please let me know if you have any ideas?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Of course you can

You can access current date from the context <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Accessing+field+values+and+properties#Accessingfieldvaluesandproperties-Additionalvaluesavailableinthecontext>

and use that in a filtering expression

```
somedate:>[entry._now]

(somedate is after today/now)

author: Anne Luckey
body: EDIT: Figured it out! Nevermind.

One additional question, I submitted an entry in my form this morning and it did not show in a tableview with this filter: **created:\>\[date20240222 06:00\] AND created\<\[date20240305 05:59\]** .   

Can you help me identify why it would not show in this tableview? I have used the same tableview filtered by different dates that have shown records before. For reference, I am in CST.

How can I publish on Confluence without notifying watchers with the iPad app?
Asked by Damir Demovi?:

Hi, I switched from working on desktop to working on my iPad and I am saddened by how limited the editor seems to be. I cant find any option on how to publish changes without sending a mail to the whole office, which just seems like lazy design, as this feature is not hard to implement. I understand that the editor isnt yet on par with its desktop counterpart but its very disappointing that I cannot even delete a line in a spreadsheet, because the app doesnt provide me with a button to do it.

Confluence Usage Stats plugin disappeared after upgrading
Asked by Dario:

Hi Community,

After upgrading to++**Confluence Data Center 8.5.4,**++ we realized a system plugin has disappeared, it calles **Confluence Usage Stats** plugin, we use some macros from this plugin in a dashboard but now that dashboard shows nothing, only "*Unknown macro: topusers* " and "*Unknown macro: usage*".
> My previous Confluence version was Server **7.19.17**

Also, I tried to install the *jar* file which I got from old environment but, when I installed it in my current environment, it crashes.

Could someone please help me? I would like to understand why it has been removed and where to find the installer for this plugin for Data Center. I tried to find it in the marketplace but it is not there anymore.

Move rows in Databases

How can you move rows in the new 'Databases' functionality?

It looks like I can select the row and was expecting to be able to drag the row by 'grabbing' the blue icon with the 6 dots, but this doesn't work.  

Is there a way to this?

This should be reported to Atlassian by raising a ticket.

It makes the whole feature useless in my opinion, if this is not working.

Auto deleting specific linked issue
Asked by Pauline H:

Hello All,

Im trying to build an automation that starts when an issue is changing its status to finished. The automation should check if a linked issue is part of a specific key and change it to another specific key.  
I tried using connection issues and removing issue links - but there are also other part of connection so i cannot use removing issue because it is deleting all part of connections.  
How can I automatically delete one specific part of linked issue with automation?  

Thank you very much.

If you're looking for a way to delete half of a linked issue, I don't think that's possible. A linked issue consists of an inward and outward link.  
If you delete a link on either the inward or outward issue, it will also delete the link on the other issue.

Email notification automation to watchers
Asked by Purnama Sari:

how can i send email notification to each watchers with automation?

during this time I tried use **{{issue.watchers.emailAddress}}** and email send to all watchers in issue

![IMG_1056.jpeg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/333658i1FBB9AA859E2090C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "IMG_1056.jpeg")


Answers:
author: Bill Sheboy
body: Hi [@Purnama Sari](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5536828) -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For a question like this, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected. Those will provide context for the community to offer ideas. Thanks!

Until we see those...

Is the problem the email addresses are not recognized? By default, when you use a user list field with just {{issue.watchers.emailAddress}} that will join the values with commas. But the email action wants the delimiters to be semicolons.

Please try this instead:

```
{{issue.watchers.emailAddress.join("; ")}}
```

Or, is the problem you want to iterate and send one email to each watcher, only referencing them one at a time? If so, that is not easy with Jira Data Center's version of automation rules. It does not yet have the advanced branch feature: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-749>

One possible workaround is to use a webhook triggered rule that recursively triggers itself, sending one email at a time, and then re-triggering the rule when there are more to send. I would not recommend that approach for this scenario due to the possibility of encountering automation service limits: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/automationkb/automation-service-limits-1130727583.html>

Kind regards,  
Bill

couldn't receive email notification after issue created
Asked by Gavin:

Hi,

I have checked all related issues in the community, and double-check my notification setting they mentioned in the answers, but it doesn't help. The last possible resolution is that my email may in the email suppression list. I don't know how to check the list. Anyone support here could help me in this? Thanks


Answers:
author: Tibor Balazs
body: Hi Gavin,

I believe a little more detail to this posting would help people answer. I will try anyways:

1. Can you check if in the Project Settings -\> Notifications -\> Settings -\> "An issue is created" do you have any of the "roles" that are ticked there

![Screenshot 2024-07-05 at 10.42.58.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/333657i847A6EF0458448B5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-07-05 at 10.42.58.png")

2. If you go to the Project Settings -\> Notifications -\> Issue Email Audit and you search for your user and/or email, does it find any unsent emails?

3. What kind of email client and vendor do you use? Do you have an exchange server that might block emails from Atlassian?

For the 3rd option, there can be tens of root causes depending on what do you use. But first, you have to check if the email actually left the SaaS platform (Option 2 from above). If it did, then your issue is with your email provider and should start the troubleshooting there.

Answers:
author: Barnali Putatunda
body: You cannot show the Jira's system comment field as a column in issue navigator. But if you want to show the latest comment in search result as a field, there could be alternative approach like :  
Use Jira Automation to extract the latest comment and populate a custom field. This custom field can then be displayed as a column in your JQL search results.  

Example Automation Rule:

1. Trigger: When a comment is added.
2. Action: Copy the comment content to a custom field (e.g. "Latest Comment").

When creating a new issue, you need to click the Create button in order for the issue to actually be created.

When editing an issue, you need to click the Update button for your changes to be saved.

Do you want to just change the text on those buttons to Approve, but have the same actions occur? Or are you wanting some additional actions to occur?
