Confiforms CSS Background overwritten by alternating row colors
Asked by Henry Dench:

Hello, I have a working Rules for Field (CSS) macro that changes the background color of a row based on a filter. It seems that this background color change gets de-prioritized in the TableView as the alternating row scheme (white to gray to white etc...) is prioritized. Is there anyway to make sure the background-color of the CSS macro is always prioritized?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: I believe you can set the !important to your CSS style or remove the "stripes" functionality in the TableView

```
background-color:red !important;
```

My pages are gone
Asked by Aleksey Korolev:

My Confluence had several pages with reports.  
Now I logged into my account and found that they were gone(  

There is a link to one of the pages:  
<https://go-bug-report.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Coursach/pages/360449/1+2>  

Help me restore it please


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: Hi [@Aleksey Korolev](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5521043) , welcome to the community.

I cannot access your instance nor should I since this is a public forum. With that said let me offer the following:

* try the search bar to see if you can locate
* navigate to <https://go-bug-report.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/trashedspaces.action> and see if anything is there
* check the audit log for any action that would explain the missing pages

comments: author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: I would add to the suggestions from [@Jack Brickey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853369) that you contact the space admin (if it's not you) to check whether someone:

* Deleted (or moved or archived?) the pages
* Changed the access permissions on the pages such that you are unable to view them

Jira automation to trigger Calendar event creation on Confluence
Asked by Iweta Adamczyk:

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a possibility to trigger Calendar event creation with Jira Automation.

My goal is to add an event to the Confluence calendar with the same start/end dates as Sprint.

Something like:

WHEN: Sprint created

THEN: Create Calendar event (with the same dates as new sprint)


Answers:
author: Hariharan Iyer
body: Hi [@Iweta Adamczyk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5521022) ,

This is not supported as an action out of the box, and there is no "official" rest API for the calendar either. However, according to [this ticket](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-51696), there is an undocumented REST API you can use for calendar actions. You can try using this in your automation with a custom "web request".

Please be aware that the behaviour of undocumented APIs may be subject to change without warning.

Hope that helps!

Giving access to specific personal number
Asked by Veronika_Olentitsch:

Dear community,

at the moment we are struggling with giving access to a person.

We can't find the person with the personal although the person is available in all other system.

Can you help us with this issue?

Thanks you very much.


Answers:
author: Anas Ibrahim
body: It sounds like you might be experiencing issues with granting access to a user in Atlassian Crowd. Here are steps to troubleshoot this issue based on the provided sources:

**Ensure the User is Authorized:**

Verify that the person's username is in a user directory where all users are authorized to use Crowd. Refer to the Crowd documentation for steps to check user authorization levels

<br />

**Check the User's Group Membership:**

Ensure the user is a member of the appropriate group, especially if they need administrator rights. For Crowd, ensure the user is a member of the 'crowd-administrators' group

<br />

**Authentication Testing:**

You can test the user's login to a specific application to verify if they are facing login issues due to application, directory, or group associations in Crowd. This can be done through the 'Authentication Test' tab in the Crowd Administration Console

<br />

**Check for User Aliases:**

If the person has different usernames in applications like Jira and Confluence, make sure appropriate aliases are set up for the user in Crowd. Aliases can be managed on the user's 'Applications' screen in Crowd

<br />

If these steps do not resolve the issue, I recommend referring directly to more detailed documentation or reaching out to the Atlassian support community for further assistance.

How do i assign a unique key in a database?
Asked by Ian Turner:

Hi,

I've been trialling the new database feature in confluence and I'm wondering how to automatically generate an ID for the entries that I make. I'm using it initially to track a list of issues/risks. Ideally these would get a reference number of the format I-nnn and R-nnn respectively, failing that just an incrementing number would do. But I can't find any options for setting values as unique or to autogenerate fields.

Is there any way of doing this?

thanks

Ian

body: Hi [@Ian Turner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5521031) ,

Unfortunately Confluence Databases do not have this feature.

comments: author: Ian Turner
body: [@marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1205132) is there an existing feature request, if not how do i create one. Seems a fairly significant gap, a database without a unique key.


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: If I understand it correctly, Confluence databases are not a SQL like db, more of a type of data collection in a spreadsheet.


author: Ian Turner
body: That doesn't quite compute for me.

If I have a list of things in a word table, spreadsheet or written on a piece of paper I'd number them. Confluence tables allow me to have an auto generated number column, admittedly they adjust if you add new rows but the principle is there.

In the confluence database there is no integer, closest I think I can get is a number format 1000.12. Plus confluence databases can reference each other - so foreign keys are effectively supported. But no primary key or reference value. Seems odd to me.

How am I supposed to uniquely identify the records in my database?


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: If you want to have more insight into the internals of databases, I'd recommend to contact Atlassian support directly.


author: Ian Turner
body: I won't be able to do that, from my quick look today at the suggestions option I'm not able to create new ones myself, only search, vote and comment.

We have an IT function somewhere that provides support so I guess I can contact them if i can work out who/where they are.

The only option appears to be to create feedback from within the product.


author: Peter Jessup
body: I agree, ability to have a unique constraint is fundamental and the reason I stopped considering the feature for my particular use case. It would make databases much more useful. There's an open ticket on this feature here:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-79004>

It needs some more votes I think to get it on the backlog.

CSS for bold Text for a Confiform Field
Asked by Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta:

I want to bold the values of Confiform Field (Text) in the output. Also if for text colors available


Answers:
author: Anas Ibrahim
body: To bold the values of a Confiform Field (Text) in the output, you can utilize Wiki Markup provided by Atlassian Confluence. For example, you can make text bold by surrounding it with double asterisks \*\*.

```
Here is an example of how to bold text in a Confluence field:

**Your Text Here**
```

```

For text colors, Confluence uses a combination of HTML and CSS. You can apply HTML spans to your text to change its color. Here's an example:

?<span style="color: red;">Your Text Here</span>
?
```

```
Here?s how to combine both bold and color in a single statement:

<span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">Your Text Here</span>
```

<br />

If you are formatting the output within a macro or a specific field, ensure that the field supports HTML or Wiki Markup syntax.

How to align the table to right/ left in confluence cloud?

Answers:

Well, technically speaking, you can't and [@Alex Koxaras _Relational_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4150197) is correct.

**HOWEVER :)**

There's a workaround - you can use Layouts and place a table in one of the sections.

Here's the Edit mode view:

As a bonus, you can put table description next to it.

**Queries**:

1. Is there a way identify the group is marked as default or not

2. As this API is taking the "wiki" in the request, surprisingly I can see the groups

Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: When I run the same API, I get all the groups in my org, regardless of product. It does not have a field to determine if it's set as a default group.

I was thinking you might be able to get more details once you have the group names by running a 2nd API call to get that group's details, but no that won't work.

<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-group/#api-group-group>

Looking at each API call within Group, none of them return details on if it's set as a default group or not.

Retroactively assign dates to blogs
Asked by Danny Cardoza:

I'm migrating a bunch of pages and blog posts to a new Confluence space. All these will be housed as blog posts in the new space. One of the reasons we want to do this is to utilize how blogs automatically sorts posts by date.

When I move previous blog posts to the new space, they retain the original publication date -- or last updated date -- whereas, converting a page into a blog changes the post to today's date. This means I have things from 2023 and 2022 under 2024.

**Is there a way to retroactively change this?**Or am I just hosed...

Is there a way to create a field that would work like tableview
Asked by Dena Ahlers:

We have a ConfiForms form for our Roster Registry that contains all employees. We were creating a tracking page to know if all employees migrated to the new tool. I created this by creating a ConfiForms Tableview that pointed to the Roster's form and the fields that are part of it, but I was wondering if there was a Field Definition I could use instead of using the Tableview to get all employees to show.

When I tried the Field Definition, using the smart multiselect I can't get it to automatically show all the users in the Roster. Maybe there is a Rule I need to create?Does anyone know if this is possible? I have to create new fields which is why I didn't want to use Tableview. If I use that I have to add these new fields to the roster form.

Any help is greatly appreciated. thank you
