Sending a formatted email
Asked by David Barnet:

I use ConfiForms IFTTT Integration Rules to send updates from the form and table I use in the wiki. I would like to send a formatted email of the updates, I am not even sure how to start that or what to use. CSS Stylesheet? or is there another function in the Macros I can use? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@David Barnet](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5437197)

You can enable this option for the ConfiForms IFTTT

Also, any styling you have in your IFTTT macro body (which is used as an email message body) you will have in the email and that will be rendered (if that is supported by the email client)

Is there a way to automatically assign numbers to articles
Asked by Jack_Marquez:

We are using Confluence as our knowledge base. In our old one, the system automatically assigned KB numbers to each of our documents; thereby, we have a single number to reference in other related articles. Is there a way to do it in Confluence?

How can I change the color and the corner of confluence buttons on the dashboard?

How to change the logo or color from the icon of application navigator?

Directly changing the logo or color of the application navigator icon within Confluence isn't possible.

This icon is tied to the overall theme and doesn't have built-in customization options

Is a third party tool required to build a workflow in Confluence?
Asked by Marc Jara:

Within the native Confluence solution, I am unable to locate a Workflow tool allowing me to create workflows for various document approvals. I do see third party tools covering this functionality but with an additional cost. I was under the impression this could be done in Confluence out of the box?


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Marc Jara](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4566296)

You will need an app for robust approval management. Natively Confluence offers statuses for pages, but these are fairly basic. With the new Automation in Confluence you can do some additional actions, like change the status of a page with a task is completed or notify people when the status of a page changes.


author: Kristian Klima
body: Hello [@Marc Jara](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4566296)

Proper multi-stage approval workflow? No.

There is the new '[page verified](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Verified-Pages-Now-Available-in-Confluence/ba-p/2664827)' status label and I guess you can use for workflow purposes. I wonder if this could be utilized with the currently early access Live Edit mode (thru permissions).

Depending on complexity of your workflow and approvals, you have quite a few options in the marketplace.

We're using Comala Document Approval (the simplest offering of the Appfire/Comala approval apps) in sync with Comala Publishing and Scroll Viewport to make sure that only final content makes it to our doc center.

Can I use a public link to share a jira report created in Confluence?
Asked by Cora Schuh:

Hi,

I am thinking about a good way to share release notes with Customers.

I have already created jira reports in confluence and I am now thinking about ways of making them public to customers (people outside my organization).

To use a public link seemed like the best solution, but as I read that it excludes macros, my question is this:

**Will the read only version, one accesses through the public link still entail the list of jira-issues with the columns I selected (jira report)?**

Many thanks.


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: There are addons in the Marketplace that can help with allowing you to share a page publicly.

comments: author: Cora Schuh
body: Thanks. For anyone who reads it: We also testet it and unfortunately the jira-report was not visible on the page shared via public link.

JCMA migrating Proforma data
Asked by Steven Becherer:

Hey community! I'm doing some research for a cloud migration and wanted to see if anyone knows the answer to this:

In this link it says JCMA migrates proforma app data:

<https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/what-gets-migrated-with-the-jira-cloud-migration-assistant/>

In this link below it says that we can migrate proforma in jcma for JSM

<https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/what-to-know-when-migrating-proforma-server-to-cloud/>

And in this link - it tells us proforma is for both Jira software and JSM

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/proforma/proforma-data-center-documentation-1087521714.html>

I'm wondering if JCMA is just for for JSM? Am I reading this too literally or maybe I missed something? Any information helps!

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me look at this.

-Steve


Answers:
author: Vicknesh Shanmugam
body: Hi Steve.

JCMA can be used to migrate Business, Software and Service Management projects from Jira Server/Data Center to Cloud. It's not restricted to just JSM projects. There are some limitation of what can and cannot be migrated and you already found that information in <https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/what-gets-migrated-with-the-jira-cloud-migration-assistant/>. If you have concern about of what get migrated, I would recommend setting up a test instance with sample projects and perform a test migration to see what get migrated.

Using a Parent field from a project different than the one you are creating issue in
Asked by Aileen:

Hello all,

Does anyone know if there are any cons to using a parent field from a project other than the one you creating the issue in?

For example, if I am creating issue in Project A, but I attach a parent issue from Project B,

are there any repercussions from doing so?

I'm just trying to find best practices around usage of the parent field


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Aileen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4675287)

Doing exactly that is not an uncommon practice. I have seen organization manage cross-team Epics (and higher level issues like Themes and Initiatives) in one project while having the individual teams manage their stories/tasks and subtasks in their own projects.

Doing so, though, may make your management of agile boards a bit more challenging. If you want the parent issues to be displayed in the same board as the child issues then you have to adjust the board filter to encompass that. The next challenge is in getting only the items you actually want from the parent issue's project rather than everything from that project.

Do note that one parent/child pairing absolutely has to stay within a project, and that is the pairing of Subtask type issues to a parent.

comments: author: Aileen
body: Thank you!

Yes, I do recall that if timeline is open, but the parent is on another project, the stories won't have anything to roll up into on the timeline (since the Epic doesn't exist on that project).

Hmm...

I think some of my colleagues are trying to do a program management where the business-project has the Epic, but the software-projects have the Stories (for development work), etc.

Not sure if that's the best option for visibility though

Although the benefit is that the program manager would have their own jira-business-project to monitor and manage.


author: Trudy Claspill
body: Regarding the timeline, since you are on the Premium subscription (according to your tags) you could use an advanced roadmap Plan based on saved filters to show the timeline and include issues from different projects.

But you are correct that the basic Timeline available with the agile board is limited to only the issues in the current project.

For the project manager, if they created Epics in a Business project then the board that they would see in that project would not show any of the child issues from the software projects. They would also need to use an advanced roadmap Plan if they wanted to see all the related information.

Jira Plans - Summary - Issue Progress
Asked by anne_gerten:

Hello,

I really like the Jira Plans summary site.

I noticed our Issue Progress widget only shows 3 status: Done, In Progress, To Do.

So it seems, it does not show me issue with different status such Backlog etc.

How can this be adjusted, so the widget shows any status as needed?

Thanks,

Anne


Answers:
author: Bhanu
body: Hi [@anne_gerten](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5365348)

Issue Progress is shown based on the Status Category and not the status.

comments: author: anne_gerten
body: Thanks! Are status then mapped to a status category? Is it possible to somehow customize this for plans?


author: Bhanu
body: The status category can be selected when a status is created in Jira and there are only three options for status categories which are the ones you see on the progress bar, To Do, In Progress and Done. Unfortunately, there is no option to define new status categories.

I have a free version of Jira board, how can i make bulk tasks as recurring once a month?

Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Aleena Ayub](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5560325)

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Some of the third party apps that help you manage recurring tasks will remain free if you using the Free plan and remain at 10 users or less. Here are a couple:

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213050/recurring-tasks-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud\&tab=pricing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213050/recurring-tasks-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing)

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223680/issue-scheduler-plan-recurring-tasks?hosting=cloud\&tab=pricing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223680/issue-scheduler-plan-recurring-tasks?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing)

More may be found by searching the Atlassian Marketplace.

You could also use an Automation Rule to recreate the tasks on a schedule.

<https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-cloud-automation/>

However in the Free subscription you will be limited to 100 rule executions in a month for your entire Jira system. After you hit 100 executions no more rules will execute until the next month.

Disable Smart Fields Preference Option
Asked by Ylan Muller:

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the ability for end users to select the "Hide unused fields when creating issues" labs option in their Jira personal settings? There are some request forms we've created for Jira projects where the fields should always appear in the order we've specified, even if a response is not required.
