Want to revert a commit, however, get error message from git
Asked by Romel Evans:

Receive the following error when I try to revert a commit:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -c credential.helper=manager-st revert --no-edit cc158e3f4f17dd49ef0c75ecd7f9c449e52307f8

<br />

error: commit cc158e3f4f17dd49ef0c75ecd7f9c449e52307f8 is a merge but no -m option was given.

fatal: revert failed

The reason for this revert attempt is that I merged the wrong branch into the current branch. So before the revert, I reset (In Source Tree) a few of the files back to their previous commit, and discarded all of the items from my working copy, however, this didn't cleanup history, so I tried reverting the commit, but received the above error.

Is there a way that I can clean up the history or revert the changes back to what they were originally?


Answers:
author: Romel Evans
body: I had to create a custom Action that then I was able to apply on a commit. The action was Git revert -n -m 1 $SHA. I was not able to get rid of the history though. So I ended up creating a tag (using a new name) for the last good commit for that branch and pushed it. This was Followed by creating a new branch off the branch I just tagged, and gave it a differnt name, and finally closed the original branch and started using the new branch.


author: minnsey
body: Hi  

I'm afraid SourceTree fro Windows does not support the '-m' option for reverting a merge. You will need to run that manually form the Terminal, see <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-revert>

How can we spellcheck confluence spaces and pages?
Asked by Elizabeth.Perez:

We are introducing Confluence as our BA tool for gathering requirements. We would like to add-on a spellchecker tool so that our spaces/pages are spellchecked before we share them.

We installed Scroll but that does not seem to do the typical spellcheck, it is more of a rules-based validator.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Liz

author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: You could use the spell checker built into your web browser.


author: Summer Hogan
body: Hi [@Elizabeth.Perez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5355888) - Welcome to the community.

The short answer is no, Confluence does not have a native spellchecker. There is a whole chain of answers on this community post that will most likely help you. You can also just install Grammarly on your browser and it will do the spell and grammar checks for you!

[https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-enable-Spell-Check/qaq-p/1318217#:\~:text=The%20plugin%20for%20spellchecking%2C%20however,%5BAtlassian%20Marketplace%5D%20Spell%20Checkers](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-enable-Spell-Check/qaq-p/1318217#:~:text=The%20plugin%20for%20spellchecking%2C%20however,%5BAtlassian%20Marketplace%5D%20Spell%20Checkers)


author: Ajay _view26_
body: Hi [@Elizabeth.Perez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5355888)

If you have a dev-team, you could ask them to create a local Forge App which does spell check using OpenAI APIs

Is there a way to get users createdDate with Scriptrunner for Confluence ?
Asked by Stefan Salzl:

Hi Community,

I know this from Jira where this can be done very easily with the following method:

user.getCreatedDate()

Does anyone know a comparable way to achieve this in Confluence?

I found the following but I couldn?t figure out how/where to implement:

<https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/8.6.1/com/atlassian/confluence/impl/user/crowd/CachedCrowdUser.html#getCreatedDate>()

I get users via the userAccessor so I have no idea what to do with this CachedCrowdUser =S

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answers:
author: Helmy Ibrahim _Adaptavist_
body: Hi Stefan,

You can get the CachedCrowdUser object by using [CrowdService.getUser](https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-crowd/5.2.0/com/atlassian/crowd/embedded/api/CrowdService.html#getUser-java.lang.String-) method.

For example:

```
import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.CrowdService
import com.atlassian.crowd.model.user.TimestampedUser

def crowdService = ComponentLocator.getComponent(CrowdService)
def user = crowdService.getUser('admin') as TimestampedUser

user.getCreatedDate()
```

I hope this helps!

body: I don't have a solution for the JAVA-side of things but maybe this REST solution can prove useful or at least point you in a helpful direction?

The /audit endpoint allows you to review activity related to your instance, including when users are synched from AD, say to the "confluence-users" group, or when created manually.  
[docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.2.1/#audit-getAuditRecords](https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.2.1/#audit-getAuditRecords)

Basically, you'd call the audit endpoint, get a list of records (optionally you can specify a timeframe), parse each record to determine if the "summary" = "User created", then capture the "creationDate" property.  

Maybe for JAVA, start here?

Finding the source for a page using "include page" macro
Asked by January.Ford:

Is there a way to see what page is being reused through "Include Page" macro? I am reusing a page in a few different spots, but when users edit they can't see where the Include Page is coming from to know where to go to edit the text.

If I edit the macro on the page, I can only select a page and not see what WAS selected. How are users to know where to go for updating?


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@January.Ford](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5059215) When you edit the macro, if you select the dropdown arrow, you will see what page was selected.

1. Select the **ellipsis** button in the top right (next to **Share** button)
2. Select **Advanced Details \> Page Information**

In the **Outgoing Links** section, you will see all of the pages included on the current page.

I have the need to show User Profile info obtained from AD.

Editing resolution field
Asked by bartlomiej_jochym:

Hi,

is it possible to give a regular user in Jira Software (he has an administrator role in one project) the ability to edit the resolution field?

![Screenshot 2024-06-10 at 15.35.27.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/328931i08C99880FCC2FD3D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-06-10 at 15.35.27.png")


Answers:
author: Dave Mathijs
body: Hi, you cannot change the value of the Resolution field once its set.

The only way is to add a self-reflecting transition from Status 'Done' to 'Done' with a transition/workflow screen containing the Resolution field in order to change it.

Attention: This is only valid for company-managed projects, not for team-managed projects.


author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@bartlomiej_jochym](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5364311)

While it is possible to add the Resolution field to the screen used for issue editing (in Company Managed projects), once the field is on that screen then Jira requires it to be filled in at all times. That means you would be forced falsely to set Resolution for issues that were not yet done.

What problem are you trying to solve by allowing the direct editing of the Resolution field?

And, are you working with a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project?
