I copied a board from inspiratons but cannot now remove it
Asked by Michael Berger:

I copied a Conference Planning Board and in error it appeared on my site - how do I get rid of it and most of the change options are absent from the menus


Answers:
author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Hi [@Michael Berger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1614167) , if you go to show menu on the right hand side of page, and then click More , you will have the option to close the board. Let me know if that removes the inspiration board from your listing.

Have a great day,

Jodi

Asked by Gianni Cornaglia:

Hello !  
Can you indicate an application that allows me to write and take notes by hand with the pen?  
I use both the Surface and the Samsung Tablet S3  
Thanks for how you can tell me  
Gianni


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: Trello itself does not support taking handwritten notes with a Stylus. However, feel free to check if your preferred app can "share" your handwritten note to Trello. Also, if you can send your handwritten note via email, you can use your email to board email address to get the note into Trello: <https://help.trello.com/article/809-creating-cards-by-email>

Hope that helps.

Admin migration
Asked by Inna P:

When a project is create can the admin be switch to another member if the current admin needs to step out?


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: Sure, the current admin can make any other user on a board a board admin using these steps: <https://help.trello.com/article/790-making-a-user-an-admin-of-a-board>

Once another user is board admin, the original admin can leave the board.
Can I create a card with a checklist via email2board?
Asked by Kevin Fleischer:

Its about the awesome email 2 board functionality. Kudos for this!

For some cards I need to have a checklist in them. Is it posible to create them from the email?

An idea to achive this is to extend the "content interpreter"/parser for the markup in the body of the mail to also interprete i.e. "\[\] Foo" to create a checklist with the item Foo in it.

This would be really helpful.


Answers:
author: Teddy
body: Hey Kevin!

It is not currently possible to create a checklist through email-to-board.

I do think that would be a great addition, and I'd be glad to pass your interest in that along to our team for consideration!

When is the legacy editor being decommissioned?
Asked by Kamay Whytock:

Does anyone know when this is being fully replaced by the new editor?


Answers:
author: Andrew Kendris
body: Hello [@Kamay Whytock](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4328124) - I hope I can provide a bit of clarity on this one ? May I ask where you are seeing traces of the old editor? Keeping in mind, any content you've created in the past using the legacy editor will remain as such editor but you should have the option to covert easily (you should be prompted with a banner that will walk you through the process when you go into "edit" mode). Also any custom page templates you may have created in the legacy editor will maintain that format.

We might not see the legacy editor decommissioned but it appears the Confluence Cloud team is active in rolling out other great features. If you're interested in seeing what is available and what's to come feel free to check out the [Confluence Cloud Editor Roadmap.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap/)

How do I found out if someone has acces to view and edit a page in conflunece ?
Asked by Paul Pratt:

Today I moved a conflunece page from 1 space to another.

The new space will not allow her to view, nore will it allow her to enter the page when I have sent a link.

I have checked the permisions who can edit and also who can see this page and the persons name appears in both yet she can not view or edit the page.

Could someone advise me on how to resolve this small problem please?

Thank you

how can i create pages with analyzable content
Asked by Markus Zurbr?ggen:

I have an idea to create a section with my customer documentation. For this I want to record in this area in pages per customer e.g. which software is used.  
For this I would like to be able to display via a report or similar, which customers use all software XY?  
Is this possible in Confluence somehow?


Answers:
author: Kurt Klinner
body: [@Markus Zurbr?ggen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4239206)

Hi Markus

one option that comes to my mind would be to place the relevant information on the customer pages inside a page properties macro (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html>) and to build an overview of these on a parent page by using the page properties report macrohttps://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html

Let me know what you think

Confluence template variables not working, and producing a blank page
Asked by Adrianne Lashbrook:

I created a Confluence template, with variable and static text, and promoted it. When I try to use the template, the variable fields are not allowing anything to be entered. Hitting the "Next" button takes me to a blank page where I can enter the page title, but that is all. All of the template fields and text are gone. When I save the page, it is a blank page with just a title. This has only been happening for a few weeks. Prior to that, the templates functioned properly. I have already checked to make sure none of the plugin licenses are expired.

Any idea why the templates would behave like this and how to fix it? I have a demo in two days where I was going to show the use of these templates.


Answers:
author: Michael Andolfatto
body: Hi [@Adrianne Lashbrook](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4327916) , are you experiencing this issue when creating a page manually or when using the Create from Template macro? Have you tried re-creating the template to see if the issue persists?

comments: author: Adrianne Lashbrook
body: I am selecting the ellipses next to the Create button, then choosing the template.

I just recreated the template a couple days ago. The original one was moved to be a global template. The global template was not acting right either, so I recreated a user template under a specific page.

How can I add line breaks in my page history comments?
Asked by Jonathan Sawatsky:

I would like to be able to note multiple changes as part of the page history for a particular page and would like to be able to have them show up on separate lines.

Currently, when I add a long list of changes to the "What did you change?" field when I update a page, I get an entry that's on a single line which I need to scroll over very far to the right to read and which extends the width of the page substantially.

I would like to mitigate this issue by being able to add line breaks into my page history comments. Is there a way that I can use \<br\> in this field such that Confluence will incorporate the line break?

Here is an example of what I would like to achieve using Chrome's inspect function to add the line breaks to the html of the comment text:

![2021-03-30_12-19-44.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/136634i740762878B0F58E9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2021-03-30_12-19-44.png")

And here is the modified html from Chrome:

![2021-03-30_12-27-16.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/136636i1D5614FB1F04F70C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2021-03-30_12-27-16.png")


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Jonathan Sawatsky](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4327872) The content in that field when you save the page is just plain text so there is not really any way to injust or include HTML unfortunately.

JIRA Issue creation from Confluence page : issue filter at wrong place in page (or not present)
Asked by C?cile:

Hello

I have strange behaviour sometimes when I create an issue JIRA from a Confluence page.

Sometimes as illustrated below, once I have created the issue thanks to the macro JIRA issue/Filter, the JIRA filter does not appear at the place where I was in the confluence page.

Sometimes, the JIRA issue is created, but the issue filter does not appear at all in the confluence page.

Example :

![Bug_Insert_Issue_1.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/136613i9FE7406B1CE2E38E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Bug_Insert_Issue_1.jpg")

When I do the issue creation thanks to the Macro JIRA issue/filter, my cursor is as indicated on picture above, just below the line "I will do a creation of issue on line below"

![Bug_Insert_Issue_2.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/136614i68AA533A37DBE7FA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Bug_Insert_Issue_2.jpg")

However, the issue filter appears in the title.... not at all where my cursor was.

Does anyone has an idea/explanation about this ?

Thanks for your feedback.

How to disable tutorial panel in edit page mode?
Asked by Andrew Ovcharuk:

I can't close this panel in page editor. It is so frustrating! It appears every time I open page editor and has no UI to close it.

Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there [@Andrew Ovcharuk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3617994)! Having missing parts of the User Interface can be quite frustrating. Let us look into your situation and see what might be affecting you.

Looking at the editor with a new user did trigger the tutorial dialog for me, but I am able to see the "X" button to close it:
> ![Screen Shot 2021-03-31 at 15.51.40.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/136896i07FC56214C86D182/image-dimensions/78x218?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2021-03-31 at 15.51.40.png")

Looking at the provided screenshot, I can see that the dialog is way closer to the "Publish" button than normal. The close button is most likely being clipped by the interface due to some level of zoom that seems to be applied in your browser.

I am able to replicate this by applying zoom in my browser window:
> ![Screen Shot 2021-03-31 at 15.52.09.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/136897i3FFACB513A00CFF0/image-dimensions/288x447?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2021-03-31 at 15.52.09.png")

With this in mind, would it be possible for you to check the following:
> 1. If there is zoom applied in the current browser
> 2. If the issue is present in another browser

Let us hear from you!

Is there a way to execute a script in Jira with a Confluence Listener?
Asked by Lennard W:

Hey, is there any way to execute a script in Jira that is triggered by a Confluence Listener? I want to create several issues in Jira with the information from Confluence. Therefore I want to build a Listener in Confluence that listens for the PageUpdateEvent and then executes the script in Jira. Thanks in advance for any advice. :)


Answers:
author: Joshua Yamdogo @ Adaptavist
body: Hey Lennard,

Yes, this is definitely possible! I actually just published a blog about this on our website. Our use case is slightly different (we have a listener in Jira that invokes a script in Confluence), but you should be able to apply the same principles. Do you want to give the blog a read and see if it's what you're after?

Jira issue macro priority name
Asked by Hanief Mumtazul Anwar:

Hi, is there a possible way to show priority names in table column of Jira issue macro, instead of just showing the icon?


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Hanief Mumtazul Anwar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4327025) ,

There is such workaround with the help of the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app and its [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macro.

Wrap your Jira Issues into the Table Transformer macro body and use a custom SQL preset to create a new column with [conditional statuses](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Advanced+table+cells+formatting#Advancedtablecellsformatting-Conditionalinsertingofstatuses):

![Tue 2-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/136529i128C6AFE12F0F7F2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Tue 2-1.png")

![Tue 2-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/136530i1DB7A0138DDEA019/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Tue 2-2.png")

SELECT \*,  
CASE  
WHEN T1.'P' LIKE "Major"  
THEN FORMATWIKI("{status:colour=Red\|title=High}")  
ELSE FORMATWIKI("{status:colour=Green\|title=Low}")  
END AS 'Priority New'  
FROM T1

Here I used only one priority type cause it's an example but you should list all of them and choose any lozenge colors and names as you need.

![Tue 2-3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/136531i4EB26012B3B03A65/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Tue 2-3.png")

If you don't need the old 'P' column and/or want to change the columns' order, just list the required column names after the SELECT instead of the \*: SELECT T1.'Key', T1.'Created', etc.

Hope this helps your case.

How do I enable the legacy editor template?
