How to update a single column within a confluence data table using import function?
Asked by danny P:

I have created an inventory of data within a confluence table and use a tableview to provide access for team members to interact with it. I had an issue where the date fields imported originally from excel defaulted to a generic date. I need to upload the correct dates, but there are a few hundred and I would prefer to not correct them one by one. Is there a way to only update the date column for a subset of records via a bulk upload?

author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Is this related to some plugin or what do you mean by "imported". Seeing mentioning of "TableView" I am guessing it is about ConfiForms!? Is it?

Alex

comments: author: danny P
body: Thank you... I have resolved. It was within Confluence and it was a matter of selecting the column to update with the associated entry ID within the import API interface.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: All this sounds very much like ConfiForms app related.

But I am glad you have figured out yourself!

Does Confluence have the capability to host an auto populating form or table?
Asked by Michael Woeckener:

Working on a document index and would love to create Confluence form or table that has auto populating/revision updating fields based on inputs from Jira and SharePoint. Jira is most important and SharePoint is a nice to have.

Thank you for your knowledge shared.

author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Michael Woeckener](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4613493) ,

To create a table in Confluence that dynamically outputs data from your Jira instance, you may use the standard [Jira Issues](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-issues-macro/) macro.

If you need to add additional manually created notes to this automatically generated table, you may use our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud). This [community thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-I-dynamically-populate-the-fields-of-a-table-based-on-values/qaq-p/1505810) relates exactly to such case (please check the second part of the conversation).

Besides the add-on allows you to filter and aggregate your Jira data and create different Jira [dashboards](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+the+app+with+Jira+Issues) right in Confluence.

How do I move attachments within a page?

Why can't I delete a page in confluence that I created?
Asked by Armani Stewart:

I have created a new page, with sub-pages, within my team's space on confluence.

I would like to delete one of the sub-pages, but I don't seem to have the ability to do so, as I cannot see a 'delete' option anywhere.

I'm suspecting it may be to do with admin permissions, but it doesn't make sense to me that I have the rights to create a page, but not delete it.

Any ideas why I am unable to do this?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Check the space configuration and look for the permission settings tab. I'd guess your account does not have a tick for the "delete" permission.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community [@Armani Stewart](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4613434) As Nick mentioned, you might not be having "Delete" permission in the space. So you should contact the space admin for help or ask them to grant you the "Delete" page permissions.

Variables or list options
Asked by Joanne Herrmann:

I am in the process of moving from server to cloud. I have a lot of templates that include drop-down lists. I thought I had found a way to replicate that in cloud by using the \<new variable\> macro but I wasn't able to edit the selections after I published the page. Now it isn't working at all. Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hello Joanne,  

I hope you are having a nice day so far!  

We understand that you are used to some features in Server, but there are some differences between the Cloud and Server versions.

The variables present on templates in Cloud, are available once you create a new page based on a template and then choose or enter the information before you publish the page, but after the page is published, this variable is not editable.  

Regarding the drop-down lists, I think you may be trying to insert one into the template, is that correct?

For now, we don't have an option to insert drop-down lists or buttons on Confluence Cloud, but we have this feature request created to gather the interest of our users to have it included:

* [Dropdown list macro](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-71449)

Feel free to add yourself as a watcher to receive the updates on the suggestions and also vote for it!

Hope that helps!   

Kindest Regards,

Confluence Analytics exclude IP range
Asked by Robert Hellmann:

Hi Community,

we are using an internal search engine, indexing via REST and crawling confluence pages for thumbnail generation.

Is there a way to exclude those crawls from a single ip or range from contributing to the view count in confluence analytics? (It is distorting the message)

Thanks and regards


Answers:
author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Robert Hellmann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3928494)

It's the range of IP addresses! (<https://support.atlassian.com/organization-administration/docs/ip-addresses-and-domains-for-atlassian-cloud-products>)

Have you been able to resolve this?

Let me know

Thanks

comments: author: Robert Hellmann

author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Robert Hellmann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3928494)

Have you tried tools such as logstash, splunk, or datadog.

May be you will be able to parse the logs and get the necessary information required

Thanks,

Pramodh


author: Robert Hellmann
body: Hi [@Pramodh M](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3691224)

I do not want to create a separate analytics solution. Simply want to filter out requests from a specific IP address from counting towards the analytics.

So whenever this IP address crawls pages from Confluence, this page view will not be counted when checking the analytics tab in Confluence.

Hope I could explain a bit better now.

Are there plans or could you take it up for development?

Thanks and BR Robert

inject dynamic dates to JQL Query from Confluence Gadgets.
Asked by Mahalakshmi Sivasamy:

I am trying to filter issues from jira based on JQL query and displaying it on a confluence page. JQL filter the data for previous week.

My requirement now is to have fields in confluence page and get dates dynamically in that field and then display the JQL query results based on those dates.

Long story short, it is like modifying Dates in JQL based on a date field in a confluence page.

Any insights?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi [@Mahalakshmi Sivasamy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1229316),

Thank you for raising this on Atlassian Community. Out of the box, it's not possible to set dynamic dates in JQL based on a field in Confluence.

Confluence Cloud doesn't allow this type of customization, but if you want to see what the process would be like, there's a similar question for Confluence Server in the thread below:

* [Dynamic query using Jira Issue Macro](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Dynamic-query-using-Jira-Issue-Macro/qaq-p/1006645)

For Cloud, you'd have to develop an app, so it won't be as simple. See [Atlassian Developer Resources](https://developer.atlassian.com/resources) if that's something you'd be interested in pursuing.

I hope that helps, but let us know if you have any questions.

Take care,

Shannon

Is there a way to incorporate time tracking details using Butler Rules in an email?
Asked by Rene Trejo Jr.:

Hi!

I have rules setup in Butler that automatically emails my clients details of the card, when it is created and eventually moved into my completed list. I want to incorporate time tracking and have that automated to be included in these emails once the job is complete. Is there any power-ups or {} coding I can use to create this? Thanks


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Rene Trejo Jr.](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3797616) you could create a custom field called "Hours Worked" and then use that in your email template like {{%Hours Worked}}.

You'd have to populate that somehow, which would probably require either something like a Zap or other API integration, or just having staff type that in when they move it to Complete.

archive automation notifications
Asked by David_Ensor:

I'm transitioning some work process tracking over to Trello and trying to figure out if there's a tool, feature, power up or the like that would help me with a particular step.

I'd like to auto-archive my "Done" list cards weekly, but one nice thing about my current non-Trello process is that I can basically send my "weekly" task completions to myself and have it tracked (for purposes of achievement tracking and work performance review).

Is there something "out there" that could help with that?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@David_Ensor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1849443) One obvious choice would be to move your "Done" list to an archive board each week, then you'd have a history. Just rename the list to the current day's date.

You could do this with Butler like this:

every sunday at 11:59 pm, rename list "Done" to "Done {date}", and move list "Done {date}" to the top position of board "My Archive"

comments: author: David_Ensor
body: Well, using Butler, an "Archive" button is already being used to basically accomplish the weekly archive (just manually by button-click).

However, that only accomplishes the archiving portion of my inquiry and not the second part - tracking the archived items in a way that can be later referenced by week.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@David_Ensor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1849443) if you do the above, then you have a board where each week is a list and you can reference them later. What do you want to achieve that the above system doesn't do?
Updated Account - Lost Boards

I'm in the same situation, all my boards are gone after updating my account. How do I get them back? Getting a bit desperate, please help!


author: Mats_Jonas_Danielsson

The original account was associated with an alternative mail address for the same Google mail. I first changed the associated e-mail address for the new trello account to a temporary mail. Then I managed to request a new password for the original trello account, login and change the associated e-mail to my original Google mail. After that I could again use login with Google. Sigh!

author: carrie_eandm
body: [@Cristian_Beckerle](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3797062) Do you know if you are "watching" the boards in question. If so - watching a board leads to many more notifications. To check this, follow these steps:

* In Trello, select the board.
* Once on the board, click on "Show Menu" in the upper right corner.
  * ![Part1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/85480i4F078D990CDCAA5A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Part1.png")

* On this menu, you can see if you are watching a board or not.
  * ![Part3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/85482i298EC91C737D48F9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Part3.png")
* If you are, just click it to toggle off.

comments: author: Cristian_Beckerle
body: Thanks Carrie, As far i can see im not watching those boards where i get notifications.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Cristian_Beckerle](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3797062) you can also watch lists, and by default you will be set to watch cards whenever you add a comment -- if you uncheck the "Watch" checkbox once you won't have to do it again. If you're getting notified when someone creates a card, that means you're either watching a list or a board, though.

storing and editing document on trello
Asked by valentine tomin:

Can a document be placed on trello for other users to update whilst it sits on trello?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@valentine tomin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3796595) I reckon the best thing to do is just link to a cloud document (Dropbox Paper, Word, Google) from the card and then people click through to edit it. There was some other note power up that I can't remember the name of that loads the document in a dialog/popup on the same screen as Trello, but naturally that would only work on Desktop so to my mind just having a link to the cloud version of the document is a superior choice anyway.

Can you change the timing for the 'due soon' alert on cards?
Asked by Jonathan Ryder:

Hi,

The little yellow "due soon" that appears on cards 24hrs before the due date is great, but is there a way to extend it and have it say "due soon" further in advance, say, a week?

My team uses trello to track relatively long term projects and it would be handy to have everything due in the next week more immediately visible in a workstream/list.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Jonathan Ryder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3796577) There are a couple of options:

1) You can filter the board by things due in the next week:

<https://help.trello.com/article/787-filtering-cards-on-a-board>

2) You could use a Butler command to add a "1 week" label to cards when they are due in 7 days

Two boards on the desktop. And may I move the stickers between them?
Asked by Patrick:

Move the stickers between two boards on the desktop.


Answers:
author: Ryan
body: Hi Patrick,

Once a sticker has been placed on a card it isn't actually possible to move it, even within the same board.

Therefore, you can't move the stickers between two boards. You are able to remove the sticker from one board, and then add the same sticker to another board - but this is a manual process.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Is there a {foundcard.......member.....} variable to retrieve the member from a looked-up card
Asked by Xavier Lecomte:

Hello,

I am trying to do a custom-field based logic that would determine the Members to be assigned to the trigger card. I was contemplating to use the Look-up feature but did not find the variable syntax that would retrieve the looked-up card members. Does it exist ?

Answers:
author: carrie_eandm

If you just need the description - then there are power-up tools you can use to get this info.

The one I use is called [Booklet by Vince](https://trello.com/power-ups/598b2de2adedc253537fdfcb/booklet-by-vince). It lets you choose what list to export into an excel file and would include the card title, description, due dates, labels and a linked URL. It doesn't export the comments on the card though.

Feel free to browse other [power-ups](https://trello.com/power-ups) as well!
