Gdrive links broken
Asked by Robert Suhada:

We have many pages (created before Sept. 2020) that were linking to gdrive directories and files.

The all are now broken and show:

![Selection_020.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/128614iEE85A5131520632A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Selection_020.png")

Looking at the page history, we see:

![](https://ampx.atlassian.net/wiki/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/unknown-macro?name=lref-gdrive-file&locale=en_US&version=2)

The gdrive files are still at their original location.

Is there an automatic way to fix this? We have many pages/links and doing it manually is impossible.


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi Robert,

The issues may could have been due to the new editor. I suggest you take a look here for more details: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/convert-pages-to-the-new-editor/>

Creating an SIT Defect Table in Confluence
Asked by Anurag Sonawane:

Hi,

We have integrated Jira with Confluence. We have a requirement of creating an SIT Defects Table in a Confluence Space in the below format:

![SIT_Defects_Table.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/128591i83921C0D139838F8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "SIT_Defects_Table.JPG")

Now, we don't have some of the above fields in Jira which we can extract in Confluence. Please help us to get this done.


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Anurag Sonawane](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3988294)

You could create these fields, with the right permissions. I'm not sure which hosting type you're using so here's some information you could check out:

* **Cloud (Classic project):** [Configure issue custom fields](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-issue-custom-fields/)
* **Cloud (Next-Gen project):** [Customize an issue's fields in next-gen projects](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/customize-an-issues-fields-in-next-gen-projects/)
* **Server/DC:** [Adding a custom field](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/adding-a-custom-field-938847222.html)

----------------

When adding fields, I would consider what needs to be populated manually and what could be automated.

Cloud has Automation inbuilt, whilst Server/DC would require an automation or scripting app to be purchased. Using this - assuming a **Journey**is Epic-level (parent of stories, bugs, etc) - you could create custom number fields, then automate the count of stories or bugs, or custom date fields, then populate UAT Start/End based on status transitions or sub-task completion, etc.

See more on Automation on [this page](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/features/automation), as an example. Other automation/scripting apps can be viewed on the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/).

--------------

Finally, it might be worth considering a more advanced test tracking app. Check out the search results on [this Marketplace page](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=testing) for options!

How can I find who is in system-admin? and how can I add ?
Asked by Kaori Kawauchi:

Where can i find a member of system admin?

Since a lot of member of the team left the company, we might lose all from system admin.

How can add myself there?

I am organization admin of all the products.


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Kaori Kawauchi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4248748)

Assuming you're using Jira to manage user access, you should be able to manage Admins this way:

1. Go to <https://admin.atlassian.com/>
2. Next to the appropriate organization, select "Manage users"
3. Filter the list for the different types of Admin (Jira, Confluence, Site, etc)

This will allow you to manage and add new Admins if necessary.

You can see more about Admin permissions on [this page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/give-users-admin-permissions-964957877.html). Just to be clear, as this is Cloud there is no System Admins - only Atlassian Support hold this role.

If you cannot access the "Manage users" screen, you'll need to reach out to Atlassian Support. See **[this page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeval/other-atlassian-evaluator-resources/my-admin-left-the-company-how-do-i-gain-admin-access-to-atlassian-cloud-applications)** on how to gain admin access when there are no active admins left.

Custom CSS is restricted on Confluence Cloud.

Can we create a Confluence Page from a template via REST API?
Asked by Mahima Srivastav:

I'm trying to use the "Send web request" option in JIRA's Project Automation to generate a Confluence Page via REST API

I'm able to use the following code but I don't know how to force Confluence to use an existing template or a global template like "Design Review" when creating the new page.

{  
"title": "ABCD",  
"type": "page",  
"space": { "key": "ABC" },  
"status": "current",  
"body": {"storage": {"value": "Sample Text", "representation": "storage"}}  
}


Answers:
author: sshannon
body: You can do this with an undocumented rest api.

First create a new page using the content api as a type of draft:

POST <https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content>

\`\`\`  
{  
"type": "page",  
"status" : "draft",  
"title": "test6",  
...

\`\`\`

Use the id retreived from this page to update the draft from a template:

PUT <https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/content_id/instance>

\`\`\`

{  
{"content":{"id":"content_id","type":"page","title":"employee 1","status":"draft","space":{"key":"HR"},"version":{"number":1},"ancestors":\[{"id":"content_id"}\]},"contentBlueprintSpec":{"contentTemplateId":"template_id","context":{"employee_name":"a","employee_type":"a"}}}

Limit what Jira users have access to Confluence (on-prem)
Asked by Jeffrey Anderson:

I recently installed an on-prem version of Confluence. I chose the option to have it use the Jira User/Group database.

I have a 100 user license for Jira and a 10 user license for Confluence. I now have users who are not able to get into Confluence, getting the error "You have exceeded the user limit".

How do I set it up to allow only certain users to get into confluence?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: In Confluence you can go to the Global permissions and remove the Jira groups that are providing access. You can then create a group in Jira that will contain the 10 users you would like to have access and add that in the global permissions.

Asked by Suresh Venkat:

Hi,

I have a confluence page (Title: Page A) with an Excerpt Marco. Let's say the content of Excerpt Macro is "My name is Adam Smith" and it has label - page_a_excerpt

I would like to display the above content in a Table in another Page (Page B) as below

Columns--\> Page Title, Excerpt Content, Label

Row --\> Page A \| My name is Adam Smith \| page_a_excerpt

Any ideas how can we achieve this?

Thanks,

Answers:

Its [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros collect multiple-row tables from a current page, specific page, page and childpages, page and all descendants, pages with specific labels.

So, you'll be able to combine all your mini-tables on the required page and show page titles of the original source pages.

How to fix the table header allways visible when editing a table
Asked by serge calderara:

Dear all,

We have a confluence page in which we use different tables.  
We have a table which start to have a lot of rows.

When we are in Edit mode and we sart to scroll the page, the header of the table remains visible at the top of the screen and we can scroll down the page to see remaining rows with header all time visible.

When we switch in Edit mode, we do not have this same behaviour which makes edition hard when we start to edit new rows,

Is tehre a way to get the header all time visible as well in edition mode ?

Nothing can be done without any plug-ins ? No native solution for edit mode ?

In addition to that, the plugin you refer did not pass the security rules so our policy is to not used such if security has not been validated


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: I'm afraid there is no any native solution for your case without any plugins.

What concerns the security issues you've mentioned, the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app (its Cloud version) is a part of the Atlassian Bug Bounty program (app. 350 researchers included).

And as I understand, you use Server version where you host the app locally in comparison with the Cloud version. So, I didn't get which security rules you are referring to? If you have any specific questions, please, contact our support team. Otherwise we consider the app as a reliable one, and you always have a trial period to test it.

How do I return HTML with grid lines from tables using the content API?
Asked by Eric Hurd:

The HTML that returns when consuming the content API does not contain the grid lines that are shown within confluence. I have attempted passing these under "body" with no luck:

view, export_view, styled_view, storage, editor2, anonymous_export_view

Is there a different API I consume or pass different attributes to yield the desired result?


Answers:
author: Rodney Schuler
body: The styled_view will return the style information that is creating the borders on the HTML table.

There will be something like

.confluenceTh,  
.confluenceTd {  
border: 1px solid #ddd;  
padding: 7px 10px; /\* CONFDEV-13618: line-height will add up 3 pixels, so we have a 10px top padding for text. Images will remain with 7px top margin though (see thread in Stash) \*/  
vertical-align: top;  
text-align: left;  
min-width: 8px; /\* CONF-39943: set table cell min-width to which cursor can be focused \*/  
}

that comes back in the top style portion of the returned value.

comments: author: Eric Hurd
body: Thank you Rodney. It appears that instead of -- border: 1px solid **#ddd** ; in our application we are seeing -- border:1px solid **[@adg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/691188)-N50-karl** . Since our application does not have the Atlassian color palette, it is causing it to not show.

URLs show Page ID only for topics in SOME spaces
Asked by Kimberly Onnen:

We have several Documentation spaces. All of our NEW topics in NEW spaces have the page ID appended to the end of the URL.

For example, I just created a test space (and selected to create a Documentation space as always). The two sample topics also have the page ID at the end of the URL:

* https://xxx/ts/getting-started-80150614.html
* https://xxx/ts/making-a-template-80150615.html

Prior to this, the URLs would just be the topic title.

* https://xxx/sched45/user-guide/overview

I also just created a new topic in an existing space SCHED45 and that topic does NOT have the numbers at the end. None of the topics in this space have the numbers.

* https://xxx/sched45/user-guide/test

Why would some spaces have the numbers in the URL and some don't?? I always select to create a Documentation space. Is there some other odd setting? I don't want the numbers at the end.

(Well, I guess it doesn't matter if I select to create a Document space. I just created a blank space and added some test topics and the URLs all end with numbers. I'm guessing these are the page IDs??)

We are on Atlassian Confluence 6.9.1 (Server).

body: Hi Ryan,

?  
?Not every event or activity in Trello will generate a notification, so it's possible that you're not meeting the correct conditions to trigger a notification. For example, in order to receive a notification for a due date on a card, the due date needs to occur in more than 24 hours, and you need to be either a member of or subscribed to the card. This page explains in a little more detail exactly what does and doesn't trigger a notification: <http://help.trello.com/article/793-receiving-trello-notifications>

Is there a developer console
Asked by Heidi Yablonski:

I can't believe I'm asking this but is there a developer console in Confluence? How do I access the developer tools? I need to enter some code to make my attachments open in a new tab.... I have the code but don't know where can enter it.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence doesn't have anything I think of as a developer console, but I think it is a bit of a vague phrase. Could you expand on what you're thinking it might do?

Without that though, I could say:

If you're using the SDK and a developer installation (which you can create with the SDK), that adds some functions that help you dig into Server Confluence a bit deeper than with a standard install.

You could try injecting code in the developer tools in your browser too.

Cloud is a different matter, it has a dev console for handling app authorisation, but there's nothing on the front end as you wouldn't be developing apps inside Confluence, you develop them alongside it, so a developer console would have to be done inside your app, rather than confluence.

Restrict users from changing order of cards in column
Asked by Jenny Hulbert:

Hi

I would like to know if there is any way to restrict board members from changing the order of cards within a column on a Board they have access to.

The scenario is based on a team board where only the Stakeholders and\\or Product Owners prioritise the work and they wish to prevent others with access (by board membership or org membership) from deleting or changing the order of the work (cards) they have prioritised.

If there is no way to do this in the free version but there is in a paid version, it would be helpful to know which paid version and how easy it is to configure this.

Many thanks

Jenny


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Jenny,

There are two options available to do this:

First, if your team subscribes to Business Class, you can add individuals to a board as "Observers" which are read-only board members. They can view all content on a board, but can't edit any cards. You can also configure their ability to add comments to cards.

Second, another option is to set your board as "Team Visible" (<http://help.trello.com/article/789-changing-the-visibility-of-a-board-to-public-private-or-team>) to ensure that your team can *view* the board, and then also disable "Allow team members to join" (<http://help.trello.com/article/791-changing-permissions-on-a-board>). If you don't add anyone to the board as a member, they'll be able to view cards, but not edit, as they're not members of the board, and they won't be able to join in order to make any changes.
