Answers:
author: David Bakkers
body: Hello [@Ritika Saini](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5183059)

Confluence Server doesn't have any REST API endpoints to add / change content restrictions, [only ones to read them](https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/rest/8.2.2/#api/content/{id}/restriction-forOperation).

Only Confluence Cloud has those types of REST API endpoints.

comments: author: Ritika Saini
body: aren't there any alternatives to achieve this?


author: David Bakkers
body: There are two alternatives.

1. Follow the advice that [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) gave [you in this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/If-we-are-to-hide-the-page-in-place-is-there-an-API-call-for/qaq-p/2314935), and buy ScriptRunner which will allow you to run the script to add restrictions to pages using the old Java API and the [ContentPermissionManager](https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/6.6.0/com/atlassian/confluence/core/ContentPermissionManager.html) class, as described on [this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-I-use-the-Confluence-Java-API-to-modify-permissions-on-a/qaq-p/1541930).
2. Stop using Confluence Server and switch to Confluence Cloud.

Choose one.

Have fun!

How can I develop with a local version of Confluence Data Center?
Asked by Al Manning:

I'm looking to develop a plugin and integrations for Confluence Data Center. I've already done this for Confluence Cloud and now I want to port this work to Data Center customers.

How do I get my development environment setup to do this?


Answers:
author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: Hi [@Al Manning](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5141600)

You can download and install a DV confluence version on your computer and work with that. This comes with a trial license, but you can extend it afterwards. Go here and download confluence <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives>

comments: author: Al Manning
body: Many thanks for the info, I have a couple of follow-on questions. I can create new questions if that would work better.  

Is this Docker container another advised option rather than a local installation?

Make an Agile Wallboard gadget viewable to a Confluence guest
Asked by Kelly McAteer:

I am trying to build a Confluence page that gives view only access to an Agile Wallboard gadget to Confluence guests.

I have tested my filter configuration and for a guest user they are unable to see the board with the attached error shown, which I think is an expected error. My filter is shared with my organisation (any user signed into myorg.atlassian.net). The test user only has Guest access to the Confluence product.

![wallboard test.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/254400i96902B4FF07C5BBF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "wallboard test.png")

The issue that I am having is that the Guest users can not have access to the Jira project that these issues are hosted in due to licensing fees and privacy concerns, but should be allowed to see an overall view of the Kanban board, similar to what they would see if they were paid Jira users.

Is there any way, either through native functionality, or third party add-on, that I can achieve this?


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Kelly McAteer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5163442) ,

user with no access to project issues on jira can't visualize that report on confluence side. This is intended to avoid data security risks.

Hope this helps,

I am unable to add my page using the excerpt include macro
Asked by Padmagandhini Shridhar:

I have access to 2 pages

- The confluence page in which I have an "Excerpt" macro where I have included content

- Another confluence page where I am trying to include the page using the "Excerpt include"

If you are trying to include an entire page, are you using the Include page macro? Could you add a screencapture of the how you configured the macro (where we can see the Excerpt you are trying to fetch)? That might help Community users identify where the problem is coming from.

Permissions
Asked by Ngaire Stratton:

Can Azure permissions be utilised in Confluence, or are we limited to Space and Page permissions?


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

Azure permissions only apply to applications that run on Azure and it understands. Whilst you can run Cofluence (Server/DC) on Azure, Azure does not (yet) have any understanding of it, so the best you can do is use the users and groups that Azure publishes for Confluence to use.

Answers:
author: AndrewW
body: I get where you're coming from --- I'd like to be able to use more subtle labels too, sometimes!

Unfortunately, until Tello allows users to select their own label colours (soon, I hope), if you want a label to appear on the 'front' of a card, you need to pick one of Trello's rather 'unsubtle' coloured labels.

Grey labels are only visible on the 'back' of cards.


author: Felix
body: Labels without a color (grey labels) don't show up on the card front, only the card back. This is intentional. If you want the label to show up on the card front, give it a color.

Show raw markdown code
Asked by Oliver:

Hi to everybody,

is it possible to show the raw markdown syntax as it was in the past. Now if i use markdown syntax, it acts like a WYSIWYG-Editor, which is really annoying.

Olli

author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows

thank you very much, that is exactly what i was looking for :)

Best regards

Olli


author: Greger
body: Hi,

100% agree with Oliver. The new rich text GUI is super frustrating. Now I have to fight with auto-formatting that always does something that I didn't want it to do and fixing it is more difficult because the Markdown is hidden.

The whole point of Markdown is that you don't need an editor!  
The Markdown syntax help window is a great feature.

Thank you Hannah for showing how to disable the WYSIWYG editor. Please, please, please let the WYSIWYG editor be an **optional feature**. Forever.

cheers // G


author: yipo
body: agree +1

The option to disable the WYSIWYG editor is gone since 2024-08-16... so sad. ?  
Please DO provide the ability to edit the Markdown, and don't let the editor mess it up.
Board Required fields
Asked by Zeb Rodes:

Hello,

im new to Trello and am using it for my team to submit work orders. Each "Work Order" or card has certain custom fields that need filled out each time as well as a picture uploaded. Is there a way to require these items be filled out prior to marking it complete or using a custom button action?

Thanks,

Zeb


Answers:
author: Silvia
body: Hi [@Zeb Rodes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4987848) and welcome!

Blue Cat Forms is a 3rd party Trello power-up that creates cards from the fields completed by users and sends them to your board. You are able to customize the fields and set the ones you need as "Required". Forms is free if you have under 25 submissions per month and it works with regular fields as well as with Custom fields.


author: Allen -Amazing PowerUps-
body: If you are able to use a powerup, you could try using [Amazing Fields](https://trello.com/power-ups/60e068efb294647187bbe4f5). I know quite a people are making use of it to do exactly this type of thing.

For the "required field", you can setup a field that has a rule coloring it in the UI if there is no value. For example if a text field is empty, make it have a red background.

You can also use [field visibility](https://docs.amazingpowerups.com/article/4-how-to-choose-which-files-to-show-on-cards) with formulas to dynamically hide or show forms based upon the values in the field. I have heard of some people using this to show a field like "INCOMPLETE" with a red background until all the field values are set correctly.

There are a lot of options you could choose from depending upon what you are trying to accomplish. And if you want to use custom fields still, you can have Amazing Fields store/sync its values to custom fields as well.

comments: author: Zeb Rodes
body: Thank you Allen! I will give these a try tonight as well as checking out Amazing Fields.

Hi! Welcome to Atlassian Community! I suggest you to make "labels" of color.

Example: Red = To Do / Yellow = Being processed / Green = Done

Also you can use Butler but you have a limited number of uses

Example: When a card have the label "Done", move the card to the list "Done"

You can use others colors for the priority (Low, Medium, High)

Hope my answer is helping you

Email variable for Butler automation
Asked by Yeshodhara Baskaran:

I am currently trying to do the below,

Instead of entering an email address, can I use another variable which takes the email ID of the person mentioned?

Like {mentionedusername.email} ? Is there a variable like that which I can use?


Answers:
author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: HI [@Yeshodhara Baskaran](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4971998) ! I guess you would need some way to map the username to the email address so Trello knows what user correlates to what address. One idea could be to create a sort of "directory" of users. So the idea would be to create cards titled with each member's username. Then, in the description or a custom field, enter the email address for that person.   

Your butler command would then incorporate looking up the relative card and use either the description or custom field variable to pull in the correct email address.  

E.g. when someone is mentioned in a checklist on a card, lookup a card titled {mentionedusername}, send email notification to {{%Email Address}}.....  

These "directory" cards could exist within the same board, or a separate board.  

I haven't tested it out, but I'm guessing it should work!

Who is Atlassian

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

As it was stated on your account management pages, Atlassian is the owner and service provider of Trello. It has been for 5 years. Trello uses Atlassian accounts as the user directory by default.

What do you mean by "give me Trello back"?

comments: author: R?mi BERNI?RES
body: He said he lost him passwords


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, but the question was "Who is Atlassian".

Yes, the body of the question mentions lost passwords, but it also asks who Atlassian is again, tells us they have used Trello, they got an email from Atlassian, and that they "want their Trello back". That all probably needs more information before we can say what is happening.

The password thing is actually the least important part of this question, as it's a trivial standard answer - reset the password on the Atlassian account you are trying to use with Trello if you've lost/never set one up/forgotten it.
