Survey answers sent to Confluence
Asked by Jessica Thorn:

We are currently working with a client and am about to start a round of user acceptance testing. I set up a google form for them to report bugs, and used Power Automate to send the results to a SharePoint site. My boss asked if we could use Confluence instead of SharePoint, but I'm seeing that an Add-on is needed. Is there no way to do this in Confluence without spending more money?

author: Tom_Carrott_Adaptavist
body: Hey [@Jessica Thorn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5484473)

Unfortunately Confluence Cloud doesnt have any out of the box form features. As Andrii says above there are some options outside of add-ons.

If you did want to go down the add-on route i'd recommend taking a look at [Forms for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/261/forms-for-confluence-capture-feedback-with-surveys-polls?tab=overview&hosting=cloud). Its a complete forms solution which includes reporting, embedded responses and email notifications + many other advances survey/poll features.

Please reach out if you have any questions and i'd be happy to connect!


author: Andrii Maliuta
body: Hello [@Jessica Thorn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5484473) !

Either way, it will be the app that uses Confluence REST API for communication, so if not addon, it can be done as some scripting or any separate application to get data from Google Form side and send it to Confluence. You can try to use some open-source libraries or tools to achieve this, like Confluence REST API client and Google APIs.

How to migrate a confluence 7.14.0 to the cloud
Asked by Alexander Reinhardt:

Hi all,

we are too late with the migration of our 10-user-server of confluence.  
Problem is, we still have the 7.14.0 of confluence server and the migration assistant works from 7.19.0 on.  
An upgrade is not supported anymore.

Is there any way to get another (trial-)license to migrate the data to the cloud?  

Please help...

How can I create child pages for each row of a table in the parent automatically
Asked by Pete Wallace:

**Product:** Confluence Server

I have approx 100 confluence pages, each with a table of requirements anywhere from 3 rows to 130 rows.  

For each row I need a child page which has a page title that is equal to the 1st value in each row.

So if in page X I have a table with 3 rows where column A values are:

* Row 1: SCN2_1.0
* Row 2: SCN2_1.1
* Row 3: SCN2.1.2

I need 3 child pages with page titles of:

* Child page 1 Page Title = "SCN2_1.0"
* Child page 2 Page Title = "SCN2_1.1"
* Child page 3 Page Title = "SCN2_1.2"

Can anybody advise me if this is possible, and if so what approach should I study?

Please note we cannot move from confluence server as we are working in a very secure environment, and access to plugins is tricky but not impossible.  

Ideally I'd like a macro that reads the value in column A of the table and creates the child pages for me. If it could use a template for those tables that would also be very helpful  

Thanks in advance

What is a good way to create a new confluence page based on a template and attached
Asked by Tim Vroon:

I want to have an easy way to create a new confluence page from a jira service management issue. The use case is for design documents, as we often make designs in confluence and get the customers to approve them.

The confluence page would ideally be cloned from a template, that could be defined per project.

The confluence page would ideally be visible on the issue after being created, such as in the "Mentioned on" widget/window/thing.

I have been developing an app for our company (mostly as a learning exercise but also to try to accomplish this). It seems like there are a lot of existing features almost doing all the things I want, and I want someone to help me learn if there are already features that can accomplish this that I don't know about.

Page Properties with Labels
Asked by Joe G:

How does one populate the Page Properties macro to display the various labels associated with that page? For instance, I am creating a page with a page properties report to display all the automation script documentation. Because each page could be a script with multiple labels, like window or linux, I'd like them to be displayed as well on the reporting page. I know I can create multiple page properties reports for each known type but I'd like to make it more dynamic so users just add the labels in the lower right corner of the page to populate versus doing the labeling twice (once in the lower right corner and again in a page properties field).  


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: I get what you are saying.

Since you are on Data Center, you can still nest macros. You could try putting the Label Report macro inside the page prop macro and see if that will work for you. I would test it first but I don't have access to a Data Center instance this morning.

If that doesn't work, you would have to manually add the labels into the page prop macro to get the results you are looking for.

If nesting the macro works, be warned it may hinder a future migration to Cloud.

ReST APIs - JQL expand triggers status 500 after upgrading to LTS 7.19.25
Asked by Andrea Rinaldi:

Hi everyone,

we have an integration with Confluence that scrapes spaces structure and content using official ReST APIs and following expandability chain in requests.

In fact we are gathering pages content (mostly text and attachments) with the following API call:

```
[GET] /rest/api/content/spaceKey=HSC&expand=ancestors,children.attachment,history.lastUpdated&status=current&type=page
```

On previous LTS versions everything works fine. But since one of our customers upgraded its instance to 7.19.25 this API call started exlpoding in a 500 status code.

++We found out that the issue occurs because of children.\* expansions, in fact if we remove the children.attachment term everything works fine.++

I know that we could fix our integration directly calling the attachment API but it would require another call for every single page and we would like to avoid it.

**Is it something actually related to the latest LTS or should we look for misconfigurations in our customer instance?**

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,  
Andrea

While removing the expand on children.attachment the API answers.

Answers:

body: Hi [@Vivin Neelankavil](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5556208),

Here are a few ways you can customise Confluence:

* **Theming and Branding:** Customise the look and feel of your Confluence site to match your firm's branding.
* **Templates and Blueprints:** Create custom templates for the types of pages you use frequently.
* **Macros and Add-ons:** Explore the many add-ons available on the **[Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence)** to extend Confluence's functionality. For example, our company uses Refined Toolkit for Confluence (we use the Data Center version, but there's also a Cloud version), which provides theming and layout options.

Hope this helps!

Company Hub custom images for cards
Asked by Sjors Smal:

Hi everyone,

We're currently in the process of setting up a [Company Hub](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/display-beautiful-dynamic-content-on-your-page-with-cards/), but noticed right now the only option to add images to cards/carousels is through Unsplash.

As things tend to get quite messy with a wide variety of pictures on the page, we would prefer to use our own images. Is there a workaround available to use custom images for these buttons?   

Best regards,

Sjors


Answers:
author: Hans Polder
body: [@Sjors Smal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5556093) ,

I wouldn't know of a workaround right now. And wouldn't expect something like that pretty soon, as it's also 'Unsplash-only' on parts like 'updating the page header' for a regular page.

You could/should use the feedback buttons that are available in the environment though, I'm pretty sure the developers would love hearing from you. And maybe this will be added later!

User recognition in Bit Bucket
Asked by Kevin Byrne-Langlois:

Hi,

we are still building our environment in Jira On demand with Bit Bucket. Simple question: how come I cannot synchronise my user between my system and Bit Bucket for commits? When I commit something Bit bucket sees it but does not recognize my user, then it Jira it does ... So I made sure all 3 uses the same user/email: Jira, Bit Bucket and HG. If I use an alias it works but doing this for 15 dev, in 30 repo does not sounds particularly interesting. My email is also validated in my Bit Bucket account!

Anybody has an idea?

Clarification:

my issue is not between Bit Bucket and Jira on Demand. Its with Bit Bucket and my HG tortoise. When I commit and then push in the Team HG using my credentials the commit appears in the HG team repository, but not in my account. My account does not see my commit. If I go in Jira On demand it sees me has the one that has made the commit !!!! So I'm wondering why do i have to use an aliase in the Bit Bucket repo so it links it to my Bit Bucket account ?? When I do a push I am using the same username/password/email then is setted up in my Bit Bucket account. My bit Bucket account is and admin of the Team HG repo ? I did the steps in the Atlassian help section with no result, the only way that works is to create an aliase in the Team HG repo.

Sorry for my lack of information the first time

Thx,


Answers:
author: Kevin Byrne-Langlois
body: Finally found the answer, to make Bit bucket recognize your user and link your commits to your accounts you need the following format has commit name: BitBucketUserName \<bibucaketaccountemail\>. Jira sees them properly also.
