Why are there two entirely different versions of UPM for Confluence 5.10 to 6.15
Asked by Michael Lightfoot:

I upgraded UPM to 3.0.6 on my Confluence 6.2.3 and now managing apps is broken in various ways - can't update plugins, can't install a licence for Teams Calendar, opening details of most plugins takes ages, etc

Looking on the Marketplace there are two entirely different versions available that cover my version - 2.22.x and 3.0.x.

Why? Did I inadvertently install the wrong one?

Thanks

Michael


Answers:
author: Michael Lightfoot
body: Irrelevant, but I am preparing for a major upgrade of Confluence as 6.2 is out of support and UPM was one of the apps that was suggesting it needed upgrading before Confluence.

And I have no idea what you mean about compatibility. Compatibility with what?


author: Gonchik Tsymzhitov
body: Hi!

Because it was changes on API versions ?

if you install from **manage apps ,** it should works.

Do you know it was successfully upgraded?

Also, could you restart your instance, I hope Apache felix was stucked

Cheers,

Gonchik Tsymzhitov

comments: author: Michael Lightfoot
body: I did upgrade it from Manage apps to 3.0.6 and the problems above occurred. I'm not sure what the old version was but I'm going to try to go back to 3.0.3 using the instructions at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-manually-reset-upm-or-manually-upgrade-upm-818580144.html>.

I was just wondering why there are two versions covering the same Confluence server versions.

Michael


author: Gonchik Tsymzhitov
body: No worry about cover of 2 versions, because it can be used for the compatibility.

And btw, what was the purpose of your upgrade?

Adjusting a Secondary Table Width
Asked by Karel Wagner:

I have an If/Then table within a Step / Action table. I want to adjust the width of the secondary table. I was told that I could go into the source page and code it to a specific width. I know a ++little++ bit of coding, but what I've tried so far doesn't work. Can someone guide me on what I should add to the source page to adjust the width of the secondary table? I've attached screen shot of the section I'm trying to adjust.

Can I name documents automatically using content in the document?
Asked by gary_shea:

I would like to update the name of a document based on information from a table in the document itself. Example: I have document titled 'SOP-001-v01 Process for doing the thing" and in this document I have a table with Document Type: SOP, Serial number: 001, version number: v01, Document title: Process for doing the thing. I would like the document to automatically update when I update the version number and/or title.

Similarly, I would like to have fields in other documents that lookup information from another document. Example: I have a table documenting the current configuration of SOPs and I would like this to automatically look at field Version number (in above example) in a different document to update the version number automatically.

Are either of these things possible (natively in Confluence or with an add-on)? I am using Comala Document Management add-on if that is useful.


Answers:
author: James Conway
body: Hi [@gary_shea](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4213571)

We do not currently have this capability in Comala Document Management Cloud (or Server / DC). As [@Davin Studer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781467) indicates there is no easy way to automatically update the page title.

Perhaps you could explore using Confluence Templates and Page Properties macro with a Page Properties Report to list your SOPs

For your versioning requirements you might want to explore K15t Scroll Documents to see if it fits. [@David _K15t_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1212853) may be able to comment further.

All the best

James


author: Davin Studer
body: You could probably do it with [ScriptRunner for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215215/scriptrunner-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) or by using the REST API. However it would need to be scripted. I know of no easy way to do it.

How to easily change the "Display Options" order in a Jira filter
Asked by Amy Kimball:

I am currently using macOS Catalina, Firefox 78.5.0, Confluence 7.4.3. I often use a Jira filter to create tables on Confluence, and would like to personalize the display options. Example ordering as seen in the Edit GUI:

![Screen Shot 2021-01-06 at 15.41.42.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/124407i62EDC86648B0B228/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-01-06 at 15.41.42.png")

Use case example: I would like to move "Status" to the beginning so that the order shown is Status, Key, Issue Type, Summary, Assignee, Fix Version/s. It looks like I should be able to drag and drop so that I can easily move Status to the beginning of the list. However, this does not work. The workaround I've found is that I need to delete the Columns at the beginning of the list, then re-add them in the correct order.

This sounds like a bug, but I'm honestly not sure; I tried to find a way to contact Atlassian (via email or whatever) to give feedback and came upon this forum so I signed up to find out if (a) perhaps no one else has this issue, and actually I'm incompetent at dragging and dropping, (b) I'm not incompetent but it's a bug (perhaps due to my combination of OS/browser/Confluence version), (c) it's a feature and I can make a suggestion/request to institute drag+drop capabilities to change the "Columns to display" order.


Answers:
author: Ismael Jimoh
body: Hi [@Amy Kimball](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4213556)

This should be possible if you add status first in the list of columns to be displayed (as you described).

Unfortunately, this is not a bug but how the application is designed.

If you would like to be able to sort columns then please raise a feature request at jira.atlassian.com do check first if there already exists such a feature request and if yes vote on it.

Regards.

List pages by a user in CQL
Asked by Darren Joyce:

I'm trying to use CQL to show pages created by a user, but having no luck. I've seen postings to user the username, but it doesn't matter if I use the email address or displayname, it doesn't return anything.

Tried the following

type IN (blogpost, page) and contributor = "Donald Duck"

type IN (blogpost, page) and contributor = "Donald.Duck@myemail.com"

type IN (blogpost, page) and contributor = "Donald.Duck"

Any advice appreciated. I've also tried the CQL search macro and the API, no success with either.

Is there a way to use Confluence to govern documents?
Asked by Melanie Tucker:

* I'd like to attach due dates/ expiration dates to files so that I know when the file will need to be updated.
* I'd like to see a list of my files with expiration dates so that I know which files will need my attention in the coming weeks.
* The files are all already on one page, is there a way to create a "directory" or list of the files on that page?


Answers:
author: Daryl Karan
body: Hi [@Melanie Tucker](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2969821) ,

Thanks for posting your question to the community. Confluence is a great collaboration tool that allows users to be notified (space/page watchers) as soon as content is created and have them comment on it. Unfortunately Confluence doesn't have a great method to help with having process and control with life-cycle of pages or content.

Having said that, this is where Atlassian's Marketplace can extend your experience with Confluence. [Atlassian's Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?_ga=2.53837999.644877387.1570464610-1349982554.1568648451&query=comalatech "Search for Comala Document Management ") has some really cool tools to help fill the gap for your lifecycle and review process of your pages and content. As Barbara mentioned Comalatech has [Comala Document Management for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-document-management?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) that has a Content Expiry Workflow that enables a lifecycle to your space of pages and content.

Comala Document Management is available on the Marketplace and you can try it for free for 30 days for Confluence Cloud

Cheers,   
Daryl

Confluence does not provide this functionality and I am unaware of any apps that can be installed to assist in this way. There are a few attachment management apps that allow you to search and manage attachments more easily across Confluence that might help you but would not be the complete solution you are looking for above.

Is it possible to remove information from Page History versions via editing the database?
Asked by pam_hite_wbd_com:

CSO is requiring us to remove plain text passwords from our Confluence pages and all historical versions of the pages. We do not want to delete the versions and lose all additional historical information, so are wondering if the version history is accessible via the database? If so, can we remove the password information directly from each version by editing the database directly?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can do it in the database, but it's likely to be slow, painful and a huge amount of work.

You'll need some way to search content to identify where a password has been put in. That's always going to be clunky, because there's no clean and simple way to do it that doesn't come down to "read each page and its history, looking for suspect lines"

However you do that, you'll need to end up with a list of pages and historical versions that contain the unwanted text.

Then you'll need to identify each line in the content table that you want to amend, then stop Confluence, go into the massive block of densely encoded xml and edit out the snippet of text you want to remove (without messing up the xml structure) for each entry, and then restart Confluence and re-index it before letting people back in.

This is not a minor undertaking, and SQL is probably the worst way to do it. While "find" is a problem no matter what you do, I'd strongly recommend telling CSO that the only practical option is to simply destroy the history. It's then up to them to decide if they want you to do many days of find and delete, or many months of find and edit.

Or, better, get an automation or scripting tool that runs on the front end. If you can identify the exact text, things like Scriptrunner for Confluence could do a lot of the work for you.


author: Radek Dost?l
body: Everything is in the database as far as content goes, so yes you would be able to do it, question is how do you intent on doing that if you do not know the passwords upfront (i.e. how do you identify what is or isn't a password)?

comments: author: pam_hite_wbd_com
body: The passwords are actually in the historical version of the pages, in plain text format, so someone would have to gather all passwords to be removed and the version that they exist on.

How do I add labels to existing pages that say, ?No labels??
Asked by M_ Morgan:

I inherited a Confluence site as a Technical Writer. Some of the existing pages indicate, "No labels" and do not give me the option to add labels. How do I add labels to existing pages that say, "No labels" but that also do not offer the clickable label icon or other option to add labels?


Answers:
author: Radek Dost?l
body: Hi,

Few things to check:

- do you have edit page permission? (circles on top in my screenshot)

- is the 'labels' kind of a can opener icon clickable? Next to the 'No labels', it doesn't really highlight but when you mouseover it it should show a tooltip and clicking it should show a popup

![labels.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/124376i39A8379C31D3C6F0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "labels.png")

Regards,

comments: author: Radek Dost?l
body: As in, I kind of read your question that you do not see that label icon there at all, so I think it might be missing edit permissions for the page.

Which REST API call == Export JSON via Browser
Asked by Fergus Incoronato:

Hi!

I tried to export a board using Export to JSON via browser and I have also managed to set up my tokens in order to use the REST API.

However the content of:  
1. \<BOARD_ID\>.json downloaded via browser  
2. output of getting [https://api.trello.com/1/boards/\<BOARD_ID\>?\&key=\<KEY\>\&token=\<TOKEN]()\>

Are rather different from each other. In particular, #1 contains way more information.

I was wondering which call of the API was equivalent to downloading the board JSON info via browser.

<br />

Thanks in advance.

Regards.


Answers:
author: Oscar Triscon
body: I'm not sure that there is a single API request to export all of the contents of a board exactly as they come out of the export function.

But you can get most of the information with this single request:

```

Notifications settings at board level
Asked by Alison Atkinson:

Hi

I have multiple boards in my account - some used for business and some private. I'd love to be able to send notifications from the different boards to specific email addresses - so that I get business notifications to my business email, and personal board notificationst to my home email. I can only see a way of setting notifications at account level.

I don't want to set up completely different accounts, as I'd need to keep logging in and out of the app/website.

Is this possible?

thanks

Alison


Answers:
author: Matthew N
body: Hi Alison

There's not a way to set up notifications at a board level, rather than the account level. Without having separate accounts for personal/work, you'll continue to receive the notifications for all boards. This would be a good idea to submit to Trello as a feature request at feature-idead@trello.com

Thumbnails of attached Dropbox files?
Asked by Ed Lomas:

Hi. We're using Trello in an office where we're linking cards to folders on Dropbox, and we'd like to see thumbnails of the files within those folders when we 'turn over' a card. When I create a card myself, this works and I can see the files.

But when a colleague creates a card and attaches a Dropbox folder, if I 'turn over' that card I get a never-ending "Loading..." message and a link saying "Open folder in Dropbox". This is what everybody else is also experiencing - their attachments work but everybody else's don't. So as a team we're really not getting the full benefit of the Dropbox integration.

Does anybody have any ideas why this might be and how we could fix it? Much appreciated!
