Dynamic / interactive field
Asked by Marco Todaro:

Good morning,

i would create a page with interactive field, such as "concatenate" or "\&" on Excel/Google Sheet, for example in the first line permit to all user to write a string field and put that string on the following lines, in the middle of other text.

It is possible without external app/addons or with free ones for all teams?

Thanks and best regards!

Marco

This isn't possible natively.

There might be options for this on the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=fields), you can filter for...

* Free up to 10 users
* Free for all teams

...using the filters on the left-hand side :)

How to autopopulate department details in user profile page
Asked by Abdul Rehman:

We have ldap configured in confluence and getting all the user details in the application, however we are not seeing department details in user profile page. We don't see ldap attribute in user schema setting.

body: Hi, [@Abdul Rehman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2264523)

Department is not a standard attribute, that can be configured in "out-of-the-box" Jira.

For showing it you can use additional addons, like *User Profiles*

There you can configure different attributes, which can be taken from LDAP

The screenshot with the padlock is a bit too small to read the error message.

Be aware that although members of the group 'confluence-users-konrad-gmbh' may have **View** permission to the space, they also need a license and the page may not be restricted, unless they have been granted view permission on that specific page.

Can user access no pages at all within the space? Does the home page have page restrictions?

The issue was that the user could access the page but was not abe access a page's link to jira, where he in deed did not have permissions.

Macro for Jira Count
Asked by UdayKiran:

I see an option to get in the JIRA macro on Confluence to get the issue count. Any pointers on how it is doing?

A space key is the "identifier" of an entire space, e.g. A space named Knowledge Base might have a space key like "KB". Pages within this space will get the identifiers like "KB-1", "KB-2" e.t.c.

You cannot change Space Key's in Confluence so I'm not really sure what you mean.

Unable to resolve owner of loading collection \[\[com.atlassian.confluence.core.ContentEntityObject.contentProperties#591542458\]\] for second level caching


Answers:
author: Markus Fred?n
body: Hi [@M. Cristina Pullen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4863558) ,

The error message you provided indicates that there is a problem rendering a Confluence page due to multiple errors in the system. The specific cause of the error seems to be related to rendering templates for various decorators and encountering an issue with comments on the page.

The error message also mentions an exception related to Hibernate, a framework used for database access and object-relational mapping in Confluence. It indicates that there is a problem resolving the owner of a loading collection for second-level caching.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Clear Confluence's plugin cache: Go to the Confluence administration console, navigate to "Manage apps" or "Manage add-ons," find the plugin related to the error (if known), and clear its cache.
2. Restart Confluence: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve temporary issues or conflicts.
3. Disable recently installed plugins: If you recently installed any new plugins or made any configuration changes, try disabling them temporarily to see if the error persists.
4. Check Confluence logs: Look for any additional error messages or stack traces in the Confluence logs. They might provide more detailed information about the underlying issue.
5. Contact Atlassian Support: If the issue persists and you're unable to resolve it on your own, it's recommended to reach out to Atlassian Support for further assistance. Provide them with the specific error message and any relevant log entries to help them diagnose the problem more effectively.

Keep in mind that the steps provided are general troubleshooting suggestions, and the actual solution may depend on the specific configuration and setup of your Confluence instance.

body: Hello [@Amanda Harland](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5197639)

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

You tagged you post as being applicable to the Confluence Cloud product, but I don't believe you are using the Cloud (SaaS) version of Confluence. Such products are accessed through URLs like this:

https://\<something\>.atlassian.net

That doesn't match the URL shown at the bottom of your image. Based on that URL you are accessing a self-hosted version of the product - Confluence Server or Confluence Data Center.

When you are not editing a page the version of Confluence should be displayed at the very bottom of the page. What version are you using?

Do you have the table embedded inside a macro or within the cell of another table? It looks like you might. Can you tell us in what exactly it is embedded?

Notice that the Responsive option is disabled (3) when my cursor is positioned within that second table. I think that is the problem you are facing. You would need to pull that table out of the object in which it has been embedded, which could mean doing a significant reformatting of your page to get the same presentation using alternate methods.

Update entire body content using MySQL query
Asked by Dario:

Hi community,

I would need to update **BODYCONTENT** table using update query. Specifically I would need to replace the entire *body* field value.

I had to change in some pages one plugin to another and create headings. So, I exported the values from body field and I modified using bash script. Now I have a problem trying to upload the content.

When I try the following update query I get the error message:
> **/bin/mysql: Argument list too long**

```
update BODYCONTENT from body = '[all xhtml code]' where contentid = XXXXX;
```

Do you know how to do it? I am using Confluence 7.19.9 and MySQL 8.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Dario


Answers:
author: Dario
body: Good morning Andrii,

Thank you for your response.

When I use the SQL query, the part 'DATA_HERE' is too long so I get the error message **/bin/mysql: Argument list too long**

My question is there would be another way to do it? If there is not, how could I to exchange one plugin to another in several pages automatically?

i.e:

The idea is modify this part of text:

```
<ac:macro ac:name="expand and print">
<ac:parameter ac:name="customLevel">Title 2</ac:parameter>
<ac:parameter ac:name="customTitle">1. General</ac:parameter>
<ac:rich-text-body>
```

For this:

```
<ac:macro ac:name="panel">
<ac:parameter ac:name="customLevel">Title 2</ac:parameter>
<ac:rich-text-body>
<h2>1. General<h2>
```

Or

```
<h2>1. General<h2>
<ac:macro ac:name="panel">
<ac:parameter ac:name="customLevel">Title 2</ac:parameter>
<ac:rich-text-body>
```

The main problem is the header should have the same level and the same text. So one colleague created a bash script to to these changes and it worked but now I would like to import again the pages, but I am unable to.

Thank you in advance.


author: Andrii Maliuta
body: [@Dario](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4080057) ,

Usually, it is **not** a good option to modify the Database directly, as a lot of things and services are connected and synchronized on data levels.

If you need to change (find/replace) bodies of pages, it can be better to use REST API or JAVA API (scripts) to do this.

As for the SQL, seems like it is incorrect. e.g. to update an entry by ID:

```
UPDATE Confluence.BODYCONTENTS set body = 'DATA_HERE' where ID = X;
```

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If you're going to do this (as Andrii says, it's a bad idea), make sure that you stop Confluence, take a full backup of the database, run your SQL, restart Confluence, and run a full re-index before letting your people back in.
