Tried to get the dashboard data on confluence page using Forge
Asked by Arun:

I'm trying to get the dashboard data on the confluence page using forge app with [REST API of Dashboard.](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-dashboards/#api-rest-api-3-dashboard-get)

But I getting error while inserting the forge app on the confluence page, saying that 'For this app to display, you need to allow the app to access Atlassian products on your behalf'.  

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue.   
Thanks!!

author: Nikola Perisic
body: Hello [@Arun](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5358631) ,

Since you are using a forge app to access the API, within your manifest.yml file you need to add the scope and permissions:

![Screenshot 2024-01-03 at 10.05.35.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/298685iC61FF5FBD4C3ECBF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-01-03 at 10.05.35.png")

Then you will prompted from to accept the access.

When you deploy, you would need to update the changes that have been made.

Confluence Cloud Search API
Asked by William Schneider:

We recently moved to Confluence Cloud from the Server product, and had previously used the \`/rest/quicknav/1/search?query=\` API endpoint with great success. I recently discovered that this API is deprecated, and would like to move to a supported endpoint. However, the APIs I keep seeing, \`/rest/api/search\` and \`/rest/api/content/search\` seem to provide extremely inferior results as compared to the quicknav version.

For example, with the quicknav API, \`query=upgrade+account\` seems to returns results where 'Upgrade Account' (or either of the two words separately) appears in the title ranked higher than where it's in the body (ideal!). However, the CQL version "(text\~"upgrade account") returns results in an order I can't quite figure out - far inferior to the quicknav API.

Now maybe I'm not doing the CQL properly, or maybe I'm misunderstanding the new API's (any guidance is appreciated!), but I want an API that closely resembles the results returned by Confluences own web search results for a given search term. I found \`/explain.action?queryString=upgrade+account\`, for example, which does seem a step in the right direction, but does not provide URL's or machine readable formats as far as I can tell.

Any assistance finding a usable search API for confluence cloud (preferably one that is supported) which returns results in the order that confluences own website returns would be very appreciated!

Although I can't give a 100% reliable answer, I think you're going to be out of luck. With the old Confluence Server, those quicknav APIs were a backend into the old Beanable gadgets. When those gadgets were deprecated, so was that degree of functionality. Either an equivalent REST API call has been developed or it wasn't. The same with the capabilities of CQL.

How can I test setting permissions on pages and spaces without a paid account?
Asked by Joao Santiago:

I'm a developer and I want to add the ability to set/update permissions on Confluence pages to my application. However, I don't have a paid Confluence account, and free tier accounts do not offer this functionality.

1. How can I know if a tenant is paid or free via the REST API, to determine which of my customers can use this feature in the first place?
2. How can I test it, besides paying for a Confluence subscription?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hi Joao,

You will need a paid account to test it properly.

However, you could just start a trial (ideally on a URL no one is ever going to request - I had a Cloud site with a name and hence URL generated by having my cat sit on my keyboard) - they have the same functionality as a paid site, they just die after a while if you don't pay.

Can't find any Confluence tables in h2db.mv.db
Asked by Rune Stilling:

I'm trying to restore admin access to an old Confluence 5.5 server installation:

<http://product-downloads.atlassian.com/software/confluence/downloads/documentation/Confluence_5-5-0_CompleteGuide_PDF_CONF55-050514-2250-24.pdf>

I'm using DB-Visualizer to access the file: \<confluenc e-home-directory\>/database/h2db.mv.db

Problem is that it seems the db contains only standard H2-database information and there's no cwd_user table. Am I connecting to a wrong db-file or looking the wrong place?

![Sk?rmbillede 2023-12-19 kl. 15.53.59.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/297398iEED549D51A20710C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Sk?rmbillede 2023-12-19 kl. 15.53.59.png")


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

I think you're looking at the wrong file - that h2 database does not have a Confluence in it at all.

Have a look at \<confluence home\>/confluence.cfg.xml - what does the database URL say?

For example, one of mine on this machine says

\<property name="hibernate.connection.url"\>jdbc:hsqldb:/mnt/data/dev/xxxxxxx-confluence/conf-data/database/confluencedb;hsqldb.tx=MVCC\</property\>

So the database file for that one is /mnt/data/dev/xxxxxxx-confluence/conf-data/database/confluencedb.script

Distributing Compass test licsenses
Asked by Jim Nilsen:

Hi forum, next to impossible to get support from Atlassian so I try the community. Anybody testing Compass?

Activated it for our cloud solution and all 16 test licsenses where instantly distributed to random users in our org, not possible to give access to the person whom wanted to test Compass. Only option was to buy more licseses (surprise) Not able to manage the licsenses, even though I'm the admin. Does anybody know how to manage access to Compass licesnces?


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

Licences are not distributed. The system has a licence cap that says "only a certain number of people can use this system". Your "random" users are people that you have configured Compass to accept as valid users (possibly just by them being the first people to try to use it, or even the rest of your site)

As the Site admin, go to admin.atlassian.com, select your Cloud site, and you'll get a list of all the applications enabled in it, each with an option to manage the users who have access.

For example

Replacement of blank cells in table
Asked by meherengeez:

I am creating a table transformer query to merge multiple cells and replace blank cells with 0, i know how to do it for one row,but i want to do it for the whole table, is there a solution


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@meherengeez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5389767) ,

Not sure what you are trying to do - you may share your screenshots and current query here or via [our support](https://stiltsoft.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14) portal that is confidential.

And as SQL queries work with column names and your query works for a one-row table, it should work fine for other rows as well.

comments: author: meherengeez
body: I will not be able to share the screenshot,...but i have a pivot created using jql query..that pivot has many columns as blank, i am trying to fill the blank fields with 0 using table transformer...the query i have works fine on one column, but does not work when i try to do for many columns in the same table


author: Stiltsoft support
body: Let's move to [our support](https://stiltsoft.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14) then as I have mentioned before. There you may share your screenshots and your current SQL query.

In general your query may look smth like this:

SELECT   
CASE WHEN 'Column A' IS NULL  
THEN "0"  
ELSE 'Column A'  
END  
AS 'Column A',  
CASE WHEN 'Column B' IS NULL  
THEN "0"  
ELSE 'Column B'  
END  
AS 'Column B'  
FROM T\*

So, if your query works fine for one column, you just repeat the CASE WHEN statement for other columns.

Try to use the hints given by the Table Transformer macro: use not the plain column names such as 'Column A' but full names T1.'Column A'. Type in the T1. part and wait for the autocomplete to give you a list of available columns. Maybe the issue is that you use different column names in your query.

In may happen when you work with a pivot table with a complex merged header: the Table Transformer macro splits merged cells and your column names may be concatenated.

User can not open a shared page
Asked by Rene Asen:

Hi everyone,

we have a user who can't open mail shared links.

If she clicks on the link mail she gets a message, she reached a restricted page, but the page does only have writing restrictions.

She can open the page if she browses manually on our Confluence Space.

Had anyone the same issues in past and how have you resolved it?


Answers:
author: Summer Hogan
body: Hi [@Rene Asen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5389685) - Welcome to the community!

It sounds to me like the user has access to your confluence instance, but maybe not to that specific space the link is for. Check the space permissions and ensure that the user can access the space. If they have space permissions then the page might be restricted so you might need to check and see if they have access to it. This also might help: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html>

Answers:

thanks for your answer.  
I tried this macro before, but I can't query the space administrators through it.  
This macro helps with the targeted query of Confluence groups from the general user directory.

Maybe the attached screenshot will help to better understand my issue.

author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: [@Daniel Vlad](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/69201) then your best bet is to create your own user macro. <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/List-all-space-administrators/qaq-p/259028> could be a good start.


author: Alan Stephenson
body: I don't have this query at the moment but I found a sql command which you can run against your database. I'll look for it and post tomorrow.   

Depending on how many spaces you have, it pulls all spaces and lists each space admin. The data may appear to repeat but at least this will let you get the data without looking at each space separately.

it also does personal spaces.

Jir aSession HAndling
Asked by Danyal Iqbal:

I have observed the following problem with JIRA in cloud ,it seems Jira cloud does not handle individual browser sessions properly:

* Open JIRA window via hyperlink for Board 1
* Open another JIRA window for Board 2
* Open third JIRA window for Board 3
* Click in the first window (Board 1) -\> Click on "Reports"
* JIRA opens "Reports" for the last opened board 3, NOT for board 1, from which I jumped off

The behavior also occurred in other constellations, but I can reproduce it in the one mentioned above.

Answers:

body: Hi [@Danyal Iqbal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/430572)

Jira takes the latest board as the point of entry in the project, this is placed in your personal setting cookie in your Atlassian account.

So [@Sayed Bares \[ServiceRocket\]](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1480984) unfortunate its not a bug but a cookie setting, that when you re-enter a project it opens where you left of.

Is there anyway to change this cookie setting?

No this is default in the Atlassian account.

There are no options to change this.


author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: [@Danyal Iqbal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/430572) it most probably is a bug, I suggest reaching out to [Atlassian support](https://support.atlassian.com/) to confirm.

Issue in TestRun status
Asked by rajeswari saravanan:

Got one issue

The ask is,

If a test is in 2 test execution (same test) and you only run the test execution 1 for now, the testrunstatus shows TODO which is test execution 2 status,

So when I want to run a filter to show the results of test execution 1, I have no way to donso aa all trsts shows TODO because of test execution 2.

There is however a "status" in the Test execution which shows the test as "pass" but there isn't a filter parameter that pock ip this status.So it ouls be good to know how we could ads this "status" into the filter parameters so that we can only report on tha relevant test execution.

ConfiForm Editing Big Gantt Add On Date Field
Asked by Maximilian Herbert:

Hey there,

so im trying to create a Jira Ticket with data of my ConfiForm Form. Works perfectly fine except for one thing:

In Jira I use the Big Ganzz Add on which gives me a start and end date field. I want to set these fields with input of my form as well. So in the JSON I said:

body: It does not set the date?

I afraid that you need to contact Big Gantt app developers regarding that...


author: Maximilian Herbert
body: Nahh unfortunatly not.... yeah I guess its about the Big Gantt app then...   
Only thing I will try is to change the date via on Update IFTTT. Maybe the dates of the Big Gantt get loaded after the initial creation of the issue and cant be set right of the start.  

Gonna share my findings in here.
