Edit Attachment Comment from Confiform
Asked by Michael Confessore:

I am creating a confiform to allow a user to upload an attachment to a page. In the form, I would like them to be able to enter text that will be set to be the attachment's comment. Is that possible?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

At the moment when uploading attachments via ConfiForms you cannot specify the attachment comment.

However, the extensibility ConfiForms has allows you to set this up using a call to appropriate REST API.

True that this is more technical than simply dropping a built-in ConfiForms IFTTT action but is possible. Using ConfiForms IFTTT Web Request action and using Confluence REST API <https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/rest/6.14.1/#api/content/{id}/child/attachment-update>

IFTTT Create Attachment
Asked by Michael Confessore:

I am trying to create a form that allows a user to select a file to be added to the page as an attachment. I have a Confiforms IFTTT Integration Rules block set up with an onCreated event and a Create Attachment action that points to a Field Definition that is a file type. When I submit the form, I get an error saying: "Create Attachment: Field Name should reference a field definition of a type 'file' in order to work correctly." I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in the IFTTT setup.


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

You dont need an IFTTT to accept a file from your user on ConfiForms Form

Just add a "file" field as ConfiForms Field Definition to your form and you are ready to accept files on form submission

Files will be attached as attachments to the page where the form (definition) is configured

Delete all attachments in a confluence page using rest api
Asked by Divya Tresa:

hello ,

I am aware we can delete an attachment from page using the attachment id

is there a way to Delete all attachments in a confluence page using rest api?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Jimmy Seddon
body: Hi [@Divya Tresa](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4166346),

Welcome to the Community!

I don't believe delete is an option from the REST API. You should check out this knowledge base article:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-rest-api-lacks-delete-method-for-attachments-715361922.html>

I know the article references server but I looks as if the same is also true for Confluence Cloud.

I hope that helps!

Legacy editor emoticons are suddenly and inconsistently huge
Asked by Kelvin Hill:

Does anyone know what has happened to the emoticons in the legacy editor? They are mostly appearing huge for us in every page. Some, however, still appear the standard size. If you navigate to the selection form, they all appear huge.

We have hundreds of pages containing the check marks. They now look poor and inconsistent.

Can Jira run Plugins with more licences that Jira licences?
Asked by Felix K?hn:

Hey all,

I have a pretty simple question but didn't find a definite answer.

if i have a Jira Server instance (Version 8.8) with 500 licences can i run a 2000 licence plugin on it or does the licences between Jira and plugin always have to match?

Thank you in advance!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's not really documented anywhere I know of, but the code in Jira uses \>=, not =

i.e. (app licence number) \>= (Jira licence number)

So, yes, you can install a 2000 user app licence on a Jira with a 500 user licence. It's costing you more than you need to pay, but it will work.

comments: author: Felix K?hn
body: Hey Nic!

Thank you for the information. I will buy the 2000 Plugin licence then today.


author: Liam Green
body: Hi [@Felix K?hn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4175348)

Welcome to the Community!

As far as I'm aware, the pricing has to match the users.

Can I ask why you'd want to pay for more plug in licences than you have Jira licences?

comments: author: Felix K?hn
body: Hey [@Liam Green](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3084048)

thank you for your fast reply.

I want to Upgrade Jira to 2000 Licences on Februray. The Plugins need new Licences this month.

Since I don't want to buy licences double (500 until FEB and then 2000) i would upgrade the licences for the Plugins now and Jira ind FEB.


author: Liam Green
body: Hi [@Felix K?hn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4175348)

That makes sense then! As [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) says - it can be done, so my initial post was incorrect.

Insert a date with text without going through the calendar widget?
Asked by Shaun Geaney:

I know that the // command opens that calendar date widget in edit mode.

**My question is:** Is it possible to type a date using this command without having to go all the way through a calendar to select a year or two in advance (for example)?

Many thanks in advance!

Content transfer between two Confluence cloud sites?
Asked by hmnaqvi:

We have two Confluence sites configured having urls: engroectd.atlassian.net and engro.atlassian.net. We want to transfer our existing content on engro.atlassian.net site to engroectd.atlassian.net. Please let me know if this is possible or not.


Answers:
author: Walter Buggenhout
body: Hi [@hmnaqvi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4170193),

Yes that is possible. The strategy may differ. If the site you are moving the content to is an empty site, you could backup the content of the old site and restore it into the new one. Note that restoring a site will overwrite everything in the target site.

See also: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-site-backup/>

If your target site already has content, another option would be to export spaces from the old site and then import them into the new site.

Some pages return error java.lang.RuntimeException: Error rendering template for decorator xxx
Asked by Jens:

Hello,

Recently after the upgrade of Confluence to version 7.8.1, one or two pages sometimes return to some users the system error shown in the screenshot. Not always and never for me as the Administrator, and when I visit the page, then it is OK for all other users. I guess it is because of the Comment as the "com.atlassian.confluence.core.ContentEntityObject.content**Properties#131525433**" points to the only Comment, but what exactly might be wrong ?

I've tried to look for a possible cause and solution, but nothing what I've found was useful.

Thank you in advance for any help. JJ.

body: Hi there and welcome to the community!

Putting someone in the restrictions tab of the page wouldn't be enough. You will have to grant them permissions to Add pages in the permissions tab of you space settings.

You can imagine this as first giving permissions in the space and then addings some additional restrictions. Restrictions are simply additional layer of security over the space permissions.

Hope that helps,

Here is answer:

Is it on all pages and for every user?

- yes, all pages have same phenomena and for every user.

Does it also happen in same space or when the attachment is just in different spaces?

- In my case, the documents are in same space but in other page. If it is in different space, I experienced same problem.

I can imagine that the problem could depend on restrictions. Did you check this out?

- There is no restriction. I can't show document even though I'm administrator.

**Here is sample:**

In page, the document is loading but not finished.

automating new confluence users receiving their domain designations when being created
Asked by DeJuan McBurnie:

My company would like to automate the addition of designations for each user when they are created on our confluence instance. Is there a way to do this without creating a new user directory and integrating our Azure AD domain with confluence? We ultimately want the roles each new user has to match their job role on their user account on our domain, but we are concerned it will be very time consuming to move ownership of pages, spaces, attachments, and permissions once a full domain integration is performed, a new user directory is created and all of our existing users have to move over to the new accounts.


Answers:
author: Clark Everson
body: Why wouldn't you want to link it to single sign on? There really isn't a way to do it without some type of authentication or directory binding

Can I export all custom field options/values?
Asked by Nathan Ondricek:

Hello!

My team and I have been using the Custom Fields Power up to track some recurring data points that we have in all of our projects. At the end of the year I export all of our archived cards to see how many projects we completed using the Export for Trello Chrome extension. That extension works well, but it doesn't export the data that we've entered in to the custom fields. Is there a way to run an export that would include those data points entered in to the custom fields?

I'm using the free version, would it be available if I was on a paid/business plan?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Nathan,

It sounds like the Export for Trello extension hasn't been updated to support Custom Fields yet.

The JSON export, which is included in the free version of Trello, does include Custom Fields data, but it's not particularly human readable. Instead, the CSV export (which is only availabel with Business Class, unfortunately) also now includes Custom Field data and is very human readable, so that might be a great option for you.

Is there a limit on the numner of cards in a list?
Asked by David Duty:

I want to Create a board for my customers and keep up with them. I'm well over 1.000 right now. Could I create a list "Customers" and then a card for each customer and keep them in one list? Is there a limit on the number of cards in a list. Will it slow Trello down so much that it would be hard to use if I could add 1,000+ cards to a list?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi David,

<br />

There is not yet a hard limit on the number of cards you can have in a list, but there likely will be. We do find that once your board gets to be over about 500 cards, performance can suffer. This isn't always true---for example, if your cards don't have any attachments or Power-Ups, you might successfully have many more cards than that, but 500 is sort of an average where things can begin to suffer, and we typically recommend breaking up boards that are that large into smaller pieces.
