Confiform expression
Asked by Peiman Parsa:

**Dear all,**

**We have a "ConfiForms Field Definition" with the name "Status" and the following expression:**

<br />

IF(\[entry.OrderingNonEu\] \&\& NOT(\[entry.NonEuIsOkay.upperCase()\]),1,IF( NOT(\[entry.Approved.upperCase()\] \&\& \[entry.Approved2.upperCase()\] \&\& ZEROIFEMPTY("\[entry.Necessary\]")),2,IF( NOT(\[entry.NetValue\]\<10000 \|\| \[entry.ApprovedByDirector.upperCase()\]),3,IF( NOT(\[entry.Committed.upperCase()\]),4,IF( NOT(\[entry.PartialInvoicesPaid.upperCase()\]) \&\& NOT(\[entry.DeliveryCompleted.upperCase()\] \&\& \[entry.DocumentsComplete.upperCase()\]),5,IF( NOT(\[entry.DeliveryCompleted.upperCase()\] \&\& \[entry.DocumentsComplete.upperCase()\]),6,IF( NOT(\[entry.Completed.upperCase()\] \&\& \[entry.PaymentDone.upperCase()\]),7,IF( NOT(NOT(\[entry.InventoryNecessary.upperCase()\]) \|\| \[entry.InventoryStickerDone.upperCase()\] \&\& \[entry.InventoryDone.upperCase()\]),8,9))))))))  

**When we register the order in the form, the status should be something like "Waiting" or "Ready to pay". However, instead of "Ready to pay", the status is showing the following content:**   

\[IF(3=1,'Waiting for non-EU approval', IF(3=2,CONCAT('Waiting for approval (', IF(NOT(TRUE) \&\& NOT(TRUE),'all approvers', IF(NOT(TRUE),'project approver', IF(NOT(TRUE),'master approver',''))), IF(NOT(ZEROIFEMPTY('1')), IF(NOT(TRUE) \|\| NOT(TRUE),' and necessity/fund availability','necessity/fund availability'),''),')'), IF(3=3,'Waiting for director's approval', IF(3=4,'Ready to order', IF(3=5,'Waiting for partial invoice payment', IF(3=6,'Waiting for delivery', IF(3=7,'Waiting for payment', IF(3=8,'Needs inventory','Completed'))))))))\] could not be calculated, begin 530, end -1, length 538

<br />

**For a year, this expression worked well, but since the first of July, without any changes, this expression does not show the correct value.**

**Best regards,**   
**Peiman**

author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Most probably someone has changed the label to contain a quote that you actually use as an expression

```
,'Waiting for director's approval',
```

And that broke a complete expression that you are asking ConfiForms to calculate

Feel free to open a support ticket with us <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/VERTUNA/Support+Request+Form> providing a complete configuration for the form (as page storage format)

The page properties report macro - How to setup a "Sort by" functionality?
Asked by Jaroslava ?udomov?:

Hi all,

I?d like to sort rows in The Page Properties Report Macro by current Child pages hierarchy.

Can you please help me, how to set it up? (not sure if it?s possible)

Thanks a lot,

Jarka Sudomova


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Jaroslava ?udomov?](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5528289) ,

There should be a "Sort by" field when you enter the macro settings.

Here you may type in the column name (exactly as it is named in your Page Properties and how it is collected to your Page Properties Report) and your report will be sorted by this column.

Grant Edit Rights to Personal Space
Asked by Dan Lamet:

I would like to be able to create pages in my personal space that I can share with colleagues.

I've created a page, shared, and granted edit rights, but the colleague cannot edit, only view. When I look at the permissions of the page, it says "No edit permissions in space. Contact a space admin". I'd think that would be me. I've added my colleague to to my space, but there is no selection in space permissions for "edit"

Is what I'm trying to do possible? Do the admins have a switch?

Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: It's at the space level. Do you have a 'Space Settings" menu item on the left sidebar? If so permissions are in there.

![space_settings.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/331524i664BDEBD716F8453/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "space_settings.png")

comments: author: Dan Lamet
body: I do have "Space Settings". The interesting thing is that there are a lot of rights, but none for editing a page, only viewing.

The plot thickens. I went ahead and added four people to four separate, dedicated documents. For each I 1) added them to the space via "Space Settings" with the same rights, 2) added them to the their respective new page, and 3) performed a share with edit rights. I checked each and they are listed as able to edit the page.

One is able to edit. Two are not. I'm waiting on the third.

Can we have Jira schema and confluence schema in one oracle database
Asked by Kiran Kadali:

Hello, Can we have Jira schema and confluence schema in one oracle database. We have one oracle box, and can we have a service/sid called Atlassian and create two users Jira and confluence. Jira will have its own schema and confluence will have its own schema. Are there any disadvantageous?

Thank you,


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: Yes, yes you can.

You create an Oracle user for each and they will have their own set of tables.

    grant connect to <user>;grant create table to <user>;grant create sequence to <user>;grant create trigger to <user>;

comments: author: Kiran Kadali
body: Thank you


author: Kiran Kadali
body: [@Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/815120)

I was thinking above risk, when you are upgrading Jira or confluence, we have to do both simultaneously if the database is being shared. Say if current version of Jira and Confluence is running on oracle 19. Next version of Jira requires oracle 21. we cannot just upgrade Jira as there is Confluence dependency.

comments: author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM

Do personal spaces still use the old editor?
Asked by Zack Howard:

I've been using my personal space to test out some features before trying them in other shared spaces, and I have noticed that things get a bit... weird... when editing in a personal space. The first thing I noticed was that the **Placeholder Text** macro is not available in my personal space. I can copy something with the macro INTO my space, but cannot use it in the editor (and it is not in the **+** menu either, I checked).

I also just ran into an issue where I am unable to create a page from the **Create Page From Template** button macro.

My assumption is that the template Atlassian uses for personal spaces was created in the old editor, and doesn't get updated when published for the first time. I am just guessing here though...

Anyone else have these kinds of issues?


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: I think it depends.

The pages should open up the editor it was created with. If your personal space is old enough it could still be using the old editor, but I would expect a nag box to suggest that you update the page to the new editor.

For new personal spaces I would expect it to just default to the new editor.

However, I would not be surprised if this was a rolling type thing and not everyone's cloud instance behaves the same.. yet.

Editor issues.. - Info pane unsupported
Asked by Kong Trang:

1. Our current pages have the INFO pane. It shows up fine, but it shows an error. Due to this error, we cannot edit the content (see picture).

Answers:

body: The following is a 5-year-old post, but it may have a suggestion for this

It references this bug.

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65717>

There is no suggested workaround.

I would suggest two workarounds.

* Edit it in HTML, and remove the offending macros.
* export the page, edit out the offending macros, then import the page.

If you have to fix a lot of pages, I'd export the space, make the mass edits, and then import it.

comments: author: Kong Trang
body: I recall there was a source code editor for things like this... Can you point me to the equivalent in the cloud version? Is it still a macro?

Roll up of deliverables
Asked by David Waller:

Good day community!

My question is this. We have a shared calendar with our team where we input events and deliverables for our customer. My question is, is there a way to create a monthly, quarterly etc. roll up of all of the data? For example, last month we delivered say 7 items to the customer, which we input as deliverables. Is there a way to generate a report which shows all of this data versus having to go in and count each one individually?

Thanks!

Dave


Answers:
author: Benjamin
body: Hi [@David Waller](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5528087) ,

Welcome. Not sure if confluence is the right fit for this. The Calendar is similar to public calendars like google calendars. Keep track of events and important dates. Doesn't give that statistical info like how many total events for this and that.

Commonly for roll up of deliverables are done in Jira. Jira used to track deliverables and to plan them. You can also use Jira dashboard and reporting to shared this data. For example, how many tickets were close in the past months, weeks, or days.

There could be a solution in Confluence but it might involve add-ons. I haven't seen something in out of the box.

Logging into confluence on a kindle scribe
Asked by Liam Garrod:

I'm thinking of purchasing a kindle scribe for note taking in meetings at work, and also wondered about using it's web browser to log into confluence to view and notate on requirement documents ect. Wondered if anyone had used it in this way before and could confirm your able to log into confluence on its web browser


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: While it is most likely possible, Amazon doesn't have the best track record in having a usable web browser on their devices. Look at the reviews online for Scribe and web browsers.

comments: author: Liam Garrod
body: Yeah I've heard the browser is basic from reviews I've searched for. But was thinking because I don't need it for image heavy sites and mostly text based confluence pages I was hoping it would be feasible. I've not found anything specific on confluence in the browser so thought I'd see if anyone from this community has used it.

It would be a perfect device for note taking in meetings


author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: Amazon has a good return policy, may be worth a try. I wouldn't set my hopes too high tho.

Space import error: nameMapping should not be null
Asked by Ra?l Castilla Bravo:

**Problem**: I can't import a space from Confluence Cloud to Confluence Cloud.

**Steps to reproduce:**   
1. I exported a space from the source Confluence Cloud site in CSV format using the admin user.

2. I downloaded the resulting zip file to my local computer.

3. I log in to the destination Confluence Cloud as an admin user.

4. I imported the space in Settings \> Data management \> Import spaces.

5. I selected the downloaded zip file.

6. After 5 minutes, I received an error saying that "nameMapping should not be null".

Looks like you are following are the appropriate steps in the documentation:

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/import-a-confluence-cloud-space/>

In order to get more information about what might be causing the error, would submit a ticket to Atlassian to have support investigate as the team will have visibility into those logs.

comments: author: Ra?l Castilla Bravo
body: Hi [@Benjamin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3275402) ,

Thank you so much for your quick response.

We are currently using Confluence Cloud Free so we can't open a ticket directly to Atlassian support. We hope that someone in the community would have faced a similar problem and could guide us to a solution or workaround.

Any ideas on how to solve this error?

Regards.

Cannot add custom link for confluence site
Asked by Noah Evers:

Hi!

I'm trying to add a custom link to my Confluence site. My domain is verified, and I have an active trial for Confluence Premium. However, when I go to the custom URL section, it states that I do not have the correct license. According to the website, the premium plan includes a custom URL with your own domain.

Can someone from Atlassian assist me with this issue? I have some screenshots which can be found over here: <https://imgur.com/a/meFtum6>

My best guess is that the feature may not be supported on the trial for Confluence premium.

Allow Copying a page to personal space
Asked by Brittany Rheault (6506):

We have a team space that holds several resources. I want to allow our team to copy pages from this space to their personal space. How could I go about allowing them to copy, but not allow them to edit, create, delete, or archive in the team space?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Brittany Rheault (6506)](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5370473) and welcome to the community.

Presumably you tried giving your team members View only access to the 'master' space and they could not copy the pages... (I can't test this now although it seems logical).  

There's an app called [Space Sync for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1225377/space-sync-for-confluence-copy-publish-pages-over-sites?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) that allows you to establish syncs between individual pages in multiple spaces. So you would have your Master spaces from which you could sync individual pages to your team members' spaces.

It works both as push and pull once the relationship between the page pairs was established so you could either push the changes to the target spaces or allow the team members to pull the changes into their personal spaces.

You can control who can use the app in individual spaces independently of the Confluence permissions so you can mix and match those permissions sets.


author: Melo
body: Hi [@Brittany Rheault (6506)](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5370473), just to add a bit more context regarding the Space permissions.

The permission required to copy a page is the "Add" permission, on both the source space and the space to where the page will be copied too (Add permission also allow users to edit confluence pages).

Here is more information regarding copying pages: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/move-copy-and-hide-pages/>

I hope that helps.

body: Thank you for responding nugo

We tried all the url in above url sheet for import but still we getting 401 unauthorised error

Thanks \& regards

Mounika


author: Hugo Navia
body: Hi Mounika,

The 401 means that there's an error on the login. Are you trying to run the script using the basic auth or a token?

Also, which user are you using to import the space? Please note that there might be 2 types of errors:

* AUTHENTICATED_FAILED
  * The credentials are wrong, either the user name or the password.
* AUTHENTICATION_DENIED
  * Too many failed authentication attempts in a row, a CAPTCHA challenge is triggered, and this error will occur until the *Failed Login Count* is reset.
  * This is quite easy to happen if you're testing a script. All you need to do is to reset the failed attempts directly in Confluence or, login into Confluence with the user and resolving the CAPTCHA.

The 401 is not a bad sign anyway as it confirms you're reaching the system.

I would suggest to run a test using your basic auth credentials.

Let me know how it goes.

Kind regards,

Hugo.
