Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Ingenieros Tenerife](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3775403) A simple fix for this would be to have a checklist on a card with tasks in order and convert each checklist item to a card as the previous checklist item is completed.

If you wanted to keep the checklist item there, and create linked cards for each next checklist item as the previous one is completed, then mark each checklist item as complete automatically when the linked card is moved to the Done list, you could use this Trellinator function:

<https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/226c3c42e1c7222c520ef0a8c21ede81>

This would allow you to create the next card from the next item in a checklist when a checklist item is completed. When that card is moved to Done, the item will be checked off, triggering the creation of the next item and so on.

You can read more about Trellinator here:

body: Hey [@Ingenieros Tenerife](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3775403)

Currently Trello doesn't have native support for hiding cards with dependencies likes that, but there is a Power-Up that gives a similar functionality you can explore here:

Confiforms - How to pass content from one multifield to another
Asked by Sopaboba:

Hi again

I am trying to finish my most complicated project and that is why I am asking to often lately.

Problem: I have two different smart multiselect fields. Let's call then mymultiselect1 and mymultiselect2. The record can be update by different people, selecting options from mymultiselect1 field.

I want the options selected by each person passes from mymultiselect1 to mymultiselect2, keeping the options already in that mymultiselect2. Let me explain myself better.

mymultiselect1: options: A, B, C, D, E, F

mymultiselect2: options: A, B, C, D, E, F

User number one chooses option A and automatically the value passes to mymultiselect2, which now has the value A.

User number two chooses option B and automatically the value passes to mymultiselect2, cointaining value A, and now passes to A, B

And so no. Every user sees only a few options from mymultiselect1, depending on the team they work to. The reason why I am doing this is because I want the form state passes to complete if and only if mymultiselect2 cointains all the options available.

I have tried the following approach. Rules for field definition that changes mymultiselect2 adding the content of mymultiselect1, with this sintaxis: mymultiselect2=\[entry.mymultiselect2\],\[entry.mymultiselect1\], but doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong? Should I try it via IFTTT instead?

Thanks again, experts


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Multi-value fields expect comma separated values as input

So, you should probably use asList functions to transform values into CSVs

```
mymultiselect2=[entry.mymultiselect2.asList],[entry.mymultiselect1.asList]
```

Alex

comments: author: Sopaboba
body: I will try tomorrow and let you know. It seems as simple as adding .asList to my approach. Thanks, Alex


author: Sopaboba
body: I have tried it and it's perfectly working. I only had to do a little adjustment this way:

Equipo=\[entry.Persona1.transform(Equipo).asList\],\[entry.Persona2.transform(Equipo).asList\]

Where Persona1 and Persona2 are two different smart checkboxes group (with the property Equipo in them) and Equipo is the checkbox group that I wanted to autocheck with the content of the other two.

Thanks as always.

Is it possible to run a .bat file and trigger a ticket in confluence?
Asked by Daniele Tomelleri:

I run some batch files on my windows machine that creates logs for a system.  
I would like to create an interaction with confluence that every log create a page in Confluence.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Daniele Tomelleri](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4607159) Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You would have to use the Confluence API to create a page and add any content to it. <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/intro/>

Is it possible to do, yes. Is it possible to do the way you are executing the batch files, I am not sure. Depending on how you are running the batches, how the output is created, etc. will dictate if you are able to utilize the API. Since you are on Windows you could use PowerShell and accomplish this.


author: Thomas Deiler
body: Dear [@Daniele Tomelleri](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4607159)

welcome to the community.

I totally agree to [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) answer. REST is extremely useful for such kind of things. Just follow my [search](https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=atlassian+jira+rest+power+shell) to find more links.

Can I change the slack notification format?
Asked by vbergara_toro:

Hello, there!  

I'm using the slack notification integration in confluence, and it's great!  
But I find the message that the app sends in the slack channel to be a little "verbose".  
Is it possible to change the format of the notification? Specifically, I'd like to remove the bottom row with the action buttons ("View page", "Like page" "More actions..."). That would make it a lot less *spammy*.  
If I could make the message in a single line it would be great too.  
How it is today:
> *@person created page*  
> *\[Page Title\] in \[Space Name\]*  
> \[View page\] \[Like page\] \[More actions...\]

How I'd like it:
> *@person created page \[Page Title\] in \[Space Name\]*


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi [@vbergara_toro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2730513)

Is there a way to configure Confluence Cloud as a read-only site?
Asked by Rodolfo Romero - Adaptavist:

Is there a way to configure Confluence Cloud as a read-only site?


Answers:
author: Rodolfo Romero - Adaptavist
body: Unfortunately, there isn't a simple method to make a Confluence site read-only.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Rodolfo Romero - Adaptavist](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3541776) Complementary to Suvradip's answer, if you're on the free plan, you can't change the space permissions. To set permissions on spaces, you will need upgrade your plan to Standard or Premium. So yes, with proper space permissions you can make a confluence site read only.

comments: author: Suvradip Paul
body: Thanks [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991) for pointing that out and clarifying.


author: Rodolfo Romero - Adaptavist
body: This is for a Standard subscription so setting up permissions is not an problem but we would prefer to not have to change the permissions for over 200 spaces. Thanks anyway.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: I can understand if there are 200 spaces, this it not an easy thing to do. There was [this suggestion](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-6390) to make confluence cloud site read only (which is very much possible in Server/Data Center version), but it was closed and there is no commitment from Atlassian at this point when this particular feature will get to their roadmap. I would also suggest raising a [support ticket with Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/) to see if they can give you some other ideas on how you can achieve it.


author: Suvradip Paul
body: Hi [@Rodolfo Romero - Adaptavist](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3541776) ,

Did you ask the same for JSW?I think I have just seen another thread.

comments: author: Rodolfo Romero - Adaptavist
body: Yes, we need to the migration for Jira Cloud and Confluence Cloud to another platform and as I don't know if the answer is the same for both, I created 2 separate threads. If the answer is the same, great too.


author: Suvradip Paul
body: Confluence can be restricted with space permissions .

Please check this blog - <https://stiltsoft.com/blog/2017/08/a-useful-hack-to-quickly-make-your-confluence-space-read-only/>.

Let me know if that helps you.


author: Rodolfo Romero - Adaptavist
body: Thanks for the suggestion Suvradip. I am very aware of the permissions through spaces but we have more than 200 spaces that we need to migrate. I was looking for an option that would not require to make this type of changes in the permission configuration and allow to make the whole site read-only. I believe there isn't one, it seems.

Count of issues
Asked by Kim Harris:

I can get a count of issues by status using the 2-dimensional table, but can I get just a count without the breakdown? How?


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Kim Harris](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4564554) ,

If I understood you right, you need a simple pivot table without any second dimension to interfere. If that is the case, I can suggest trying our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=server).

Wrap the Jira Issues macro into the [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) macro and aggregate your issues by their statuses:

![Thu 6-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/166054i5ED832399755731B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 6-1.png")

How do I show a page tree in the sidebar of the cloud free version

XML Backup Restore Fails
Asked by Aperia IT:

Running Confluence 7.13.1 on our server and restoring a backup that was created from the same 7.13.1 version. We have a MSSQL DB connected. I'm importing the ZIP file by placing it in the Restore folder on the Confluence server, and choosing to Import from the site page. At 13% it fails with the following error...

Import Failed. Check your server logs for more information. com.atlassian.confluence.importexport.ImportExportException: Unable to complete import because the data does not match the constraints in the Confluence schema. Cause: SQLServerException: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.user_mapping' with unique index 'user_mapping_unq_lwr_username'. The duplicate key value is ().

Does anyone know what need to be corrected to successfully import our backup file?

author: Aperia IT
body: Thank you for the reply. I did come across these articles before posting, and should have mentioned this in my original post. The issue that I also run into is, once the import fails, confluence completely bombs out. You can no longer navigate anywhere on the site without running into Error 500 messages. If you try to stop or restart the Confluence service, you just receive an error. Because of this issue, I'm not able to follow those workaround or solution in those articles. I literally need to uninstall and reinstall Confluence and start over, which of course will wipe the DB again when I go to re-attach.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Thanks for the details. Once your confluence instance bombs out, you will need to perform the workaround steps on the Database, and then restart confluence ? Assuming that you have already tried it once, and still the confluence restart not helping ? In that case, I would suggest raising a [support case with Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/) so that they can guide you further with the DB related issues.

How to create a personnal space in the name of an other user
Asked by serge calderara:

Dear all,

In our policy we do not give acces to user to create their personnal spaces in order to be pragmatic and avoid phantom space when there left or they do not really use them.

As an other option, is there a way that me ( as admin), I could create personnal space on demand for a particluar user ? Or space can be only created by user itself ?

Thanks for help

regards


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can't create a personal space for another user directly.

You would have to enable "people can create their own personal space", get the user to use the option, then disable it again.

author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@serge calderara](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3385932) Yes you can create a space for user, and just add permissions to that individual user on that space. But, if you give space admin permissions to the user, he/she can add another users to the space and add/modify permissions in that space which you don't want.

comments: author: serge calderara

Personnal space key when create are particular set with \~username

If I miss understood thanks to let me know how in detail in order that the space is created in similar way then if I sleect Add Personnal space from user profile

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I want to question why you would do this?

If people can see a page, they can take a copy of it if they want, and in any format they want. The export to word and pdf are a convenience for people who want to do it, and have the benefit that they'll produce something that the downloader probably won't need to waste time reformatting or messing up the content.

What problem are you trying to solve here?

Auth tokens with Fetch API
Asked by aidos:

I am in the process of migrating from an on-prem Confluence installation to a Atlassian Cloud instance and one of the things I need to do is rewrite a custom macro that we have using Forge.

I have a lambda running in an AWS VPC that connects to a service inside my corporate network (via VPN) that I will need to now expose to the public internet and I want to make sure that this is secured so only my Confluence Cloud instance can retrieve data from it.

I could use an AWS API Gateway Header security token, but this feels relatively insecure. What I would like to do is instead use a custom lambda to perform authorization for any calls to my lambda endpoint.

Using the fetch API as part of Forge, is it possible to pass the OAuth bearer token that the user is using to authenticate to the Atlassian services along with my request to my external API endpoint?

Originally I was going to just craft a HMAC for my request (containing the payload, as well as the confluence cloud id) but it looks like the crypto library shim in Forge is not complete as the 'forge tunnel' command crashes when I attempt to use the crypto.

Using this approach means that way my custom authorization lambda could validate that the token is from my Atlassian instance and return the content, returning a 403 for all other requests. Alternatively, is there a better way to be able to secure my external API call so only users in my Atlassian cloud account can access it?
