In Confluence, how do you get a count of open tasks for the current user in a specific space/spaces?

Marc Moroz

I've been working on custom macros but can't get the count of open tasks assigned to the current user.

I assume it might need to ignore tasks in task reports as well.

Ideally, it would be nice to specify one or more spaces.

Has anyone dealt with this?

Marc,

Use Content by user macro.

Hi Victor,

The Content by user macro lists everything, not just open tasks. It also needs to have a user name set in the macro and can't be used for "current user"

If there is a way to get this to do what I was asking, I'm missing it.

How about Task Report Macro

Marc Moroz

That creates a list of all of the tasks, not a count. It also can't be set up to show tasks only for the current user.

The count is important because this is just one element on a dashboard, I can't fill up the page with a long list of tasks - some people have many.

Hello Marc,

You can combine Task Report macro with Table Filter and charts app in different ways:

Wrap Task Report macro with Pivot Table macro and get number of tasks.
Wrap Task Report macro with Table Filter macro and set the total row to show number of tasks (count).

Thanks for taking the time to put this together but this isn't going to work for us. Getting add ons through info security, evaluation, sign-off, etc is tough. And I'm unlikely to get an entire add on approved because I need one field.

I'm really in need of a custom script I can copy for a user defined macro.

+1 for the need of counting open tasks of a given user. Seems pretty straight forward to add in the Task Report Macro

It is very disappointing that there is no easy solution to this most simple of tasks.

That worked great for me

hey @Marc Moroz,

Did you get any solution to your problem. I am facing the same issue. Want to get a count of the tasks.
