How to make Confiforms form saving easier
Asked by Mika Hotti:

Background:

We have Data center product

We have +300 development projects. I created Couple of forms in to one space. All project are using the same form from there for example Project plan. All project are filling same forms and they have to save it in their own Space. Field is Page/Blogpost. Field name is 'place to save'

The Problem:

When project manager wants to save form he/she should choose first the page in space (diary). After they have written it in the field, field is offering all project (+300) where is page 'diary'. Can it be the opposite? First write the space, and field is offering parent pages to form? Different possibilities are less than 10.

Or is there any other and/or easier solutions?

Mika


Answers:
author: Mika Hotti
body: Hello,

I think I can't use it because that is in macro and all jira projects/Conflu Spaces are using the same form. Or can it be written somehow like current space is only available? Not the space where form is but the space where the form was opened.

I was more thinking 'ConfiForms IFTTT Integration Rules' and parent page definition. I want it to be something like \[CurrenSpace.Diary\] But of course that does't work.

Can I use 'Apply filter on choices' in 'ConfiForms Field'?

I just dont know how to do it.

There is a 'Registration control macro' to the form in 'current space' . I want to save the fillled form under diary on 'current space'

comments: author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Not understanding this completely, but you can get to the current page/space via \[entry._page\] context variable (\[entry._page.spaceKey\]) or you can add an autopage field to you form to track down the page where the form is used / record is created, automatically


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Are you talking about the " Page/Blogpost" field to be limited to certain space only?

Alex

comments: author: Mika Hotti
body: Autopage souds good. Where it is defined? Can it be defined like: Space where the form is used and parent page is "Diary"?


author: Mika Hotti
body: When definig the parent page you should first write parent page and choose space. How to change it opposite. First write space and then choose parent page?

Diary:MAL --\> MAL:diary

'MAL' is space


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: As with any other field you define it through the ConfiForms Field Definition macro inside the ConfiForms Form Definition macro

How to use Anchor macro link also in edit mode, not only in view mode?
Asked by Yuval SHapira:

Hey,

In our company we use in- "Anchor"' macro in Confluence in order to link a specific location on a page.

We are having difficulty jumping to the link of the anchor while we are in edit mode.  
We would like to use the link also in edit mode, not only in view mode.

For example, In Micorosoft Word there is an option to back to the place on the page from which the jump was made (also in edit mode).  
Could you please help us with this?  

Note: we are using Confluence Software, Data Center, 7.19.16![Anchor.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/299318iE68C5E28ABA072D1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Anchor.PNG")Many thanks,

Why am I getting prompts from Confluence to allow/deny read/write access in JIRA?
Asked by Pavan:

Hello Team,  

[@atlassian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/62094) we need your answer as soon as possible , because our team is blocked  

IT doesn't happen often, but once in a while, my users are getting a security prompt when clicking on a link in Confluence that points to JIRA.

The prompts says:

"The application Confluence would like to have read and write access to your data on jira. The application wil be allowed to use your credentials to authenticate \<user_name\> as you in the future"   
Then the choice is allow or deny.

Why doesn't this happen sporadically and where can I manage those settings or set a global "allow"?

The Page Comparison (Page history) is not showing any edits/changes made in the title of the page
Asked by Maria Christensson:

Hello,   

The Page Comparison (Page history) is not showing any edits/changes made in the title of the page in Confluence Cloud.  
Any changes made in the body of the page are visible in the Page Comparison (Page history). So, why aren't changes/edits made to the title of the page visible? Is this expected behaviour?   

Action   
Edit the title of a Confluence page (add an word to the already existing title).

The edits/changes made to be visible in the Page Comparison under Page history as are the text edits made in the body of the page in Confluence.

Traceability on Confluence?
Asked by sangsub.kim:

We create and operate the Software Requirement Specification (SRS) in Jira.

We manage traceability with other documents other than SRS using the Jira link function. (Check for missing documents)

However, many developers prefer to use Confluence rather than SRS to create SRS.

However, I am unable to find a way to check traceability when operating SRS based on Confluence.

In the end, I think the only way is for the author to manually create a table.

Is there a way to operate traceability functionally based on Confluence?

Thank you.

Hi there!

I'd like to create a table with multiple sheets in Confluence, the easiest way perhaps is to upload the existing Excel sheets but it doesn't work. So I want to insert a table directly in the page but find no way to add sheets like Excel, any idea to finish this action?

Once the file is uploaded, click edit on the page, add "**Excel**" macro and select the uploaded excel file and save the macro and then publish the page.

upgrade Confluence
Asked by ESTERBEN:

Hey,  

How will Jira be affected when trying to upgrade Confluence which is linked to Jira?

Version of jira today- 9.4.8

We want to upgrade the version in Confluence to -8.5.4.

Thanks.


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

It will have no effect on Jira.

If the releases of Jira and Confluence were very different in time, then you might need to update the calls that the two make to each other when they are "integrated", but more recent versions are much more widely compatible. If your Confluence were version 2.something, or Jira was version 4 or lower, then you definitely would need to change how they are connected, and I would check the integrations if they were on higher versions a long way apart. But you won't have a problem combining any version of Confluence 7+ with any version of Jira 8+ (and even older versions are usually just a case of "we don't offer as much functionality in talking to the other one")

Answers:

body: Hi [@Jira Billing](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4302122) ,

You can try jira automation. Using Scheduled automation you can do transition of the filtered issues.

comments: author: Jira Billing
body: Thanks [@Sreenivasaraju P](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853354) ,

According to my understanding, we can run a scheduler at a fixed rate (number of days) and specify some conditions (JQL) at which it should run.

However, I want the scheduler to check every day if an issue is in a particular status for more than 3 days. If it meets this condition, the issue should transition from that status to another specified status.

If it is not possible through schedulers then kindly suggest any other methods.


author: Sreenivasaraju P
body: can you please try to created a filter using below query and check.

status = "Awating Client Response" and status CHANGED TO "Awating Client Response" BEFORE -3d

then you will get the required tickets only and automation can run on these tickets only.

No Duplicate Sub-tasks should be formed
Asked by Jira Billing:

I have a parent issue type: Service Request

It can have the following sub-tasks: CSR, PM, BUG, Infra, DevOps

Requirement: If a subtask is created of a particular type(say PM) the another subtask of that type(PM) should not be created though we can create some other type subtaks(aby from CSR,BUG,Infra,DevOps).

How to achieve this through any method: Automation, Transition Validators or any other methods.


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Jira Billing](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4302122)

Automation Rules can't be used to prevent an event from occurring. Automation Rules are triggered when a specified event has completed. An automation rule could be used to detect that an issue had two subtasks of the same type, but could not prevent the creation of the second subtask of the same type.

Natively Jira workflow customization does not provide a function that would enable you to check if a subtask of the same type already exists for the parent issue. There may be third party apps that would extend the workflow functionality to support that. Are you willing to consider getting a third party app?
