Failure to convert edit format to storage format

Karie Kelly1

One of our users received this error when trying to save a new page: "Failure to convert edit format to storage format" and then lost the data because he noticed the error saving draft issue which prompted him to attempt a save.

I did a search on this and only find responses from some Atlassian's that they cannot reproduce and have closed out the bugs. But, there continue to be comments from customers and Atlassian users that are providing feedback on how to recreate and are still having issues, but no response as to how to address.

See these two issues for reference - both closed:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-25944

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-25714

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-24050

Does anyone know how we might resolve or problem instructions on what not to do to avoid this issue?

Accepted answers

Am closing - not resolved because the issue happens, but inconsistent.

Hi Karie,

I don't mean to make light of the issue, but we can only fix problems that we can accurately reproduce. If you can give a reproduction scenario, then we can disect exactly what is going on and fix the problem once and for all. However, if we cannot reproduce the problem, then it's going to be very difficult to deliver a fix for it.

Can you give instructions on how to lose an edit?

Karie Kelly1

If you save before a successful draft save and don't know any error, then the user loses their changes because on save, the error displays. The error doesn't render above the page, allowing you to still see your content

Karie Kelly1

I understand, but in the first issue, there are comments made by Atlassian folks saying that they have examples where they can consistently reproduce.

Karie Kelly1

Am closing - not resolved because the issue happens, but inconsistent.

In my case it happened due to a wrong hyperlink, unlinking and copying the text worked for me.

I am having the same issue when I save or preview the page.

I don't know the root cause, but I got this stack trace when I tried to restore an older version of the page. I thought it might be useful in troubleshooting the issue, so posting it here...

I get this error whenever I try to use the "!" shortcut to add an attachment-related macro (e.g. embed a video, PDF or office file). My workaround is to not use the "!" shortcut, instead go to Insert Macro and select the appropriate macro.

I can cause this error easily by selecting an image in an image editing program, copying it to the clipboard, then pasting it into Confluence (OnDemand). The image does not show up as expected. On attempting to save the page, I get the above error. If I delete any blank spaces near where the image would have been if it had shown up, I can save. Something erronious is stored in that blank space I guess. As a cross-check I pasted the clipboard contents into an image editor, and it didn't choke.

I suspect this problem has multiple triggers, related to weak error handling by Confluence.

In addition to the finding I reported above using images from the clipboard, here is another way to trigger the error consistently:

Visit this page (I tested selection, copy and paste in Firefox and Safari): http://circuitcellar.com/ee-tips/triangulation-trilateration-or-multilateration-ee-tip-125/

Select the byline. Copy, and paste into a Confluence page. Now fails to save.

Then delete the date object in the byline. Now saves.

I'll guess this is a different type of choke data than in the copying images example above.

Confluence needs more robust strategies for managing unrecognized codes (HTML/CSS/JS, etc.). Ignoring them, for example.

Erwin Rossen

Another reproducible way is:

Open a browser with two tabs.
In each tab, click create a new page
In tab A, write some text
Make a screenshot (on Mac, using cmd+ctrl+shift+4 =on clipboard)
Paste it in tab A under the text
Copy the text + image in tab A to the clipboard
Paste it in tab B
The page in tab B can now not be saved.
