@TS Please verify the table rows on the pages are case sensitive between all the pages. This could be the case if your page properties report is looking for Status instead of status.

@Jim Gay It sounds like the company did not disable your account in their JIRA environment. I would not think they would want you logging into their environment for security reasons. I would suggest giving their help desk a call and have them deactivate the account. *Someone missed a step in the off-boarding process* :)

@Murray Jason, Follow the steps noted by @Victor Mutambuki above to create the global templates. The only caveat to this is all your spaces will see the global template. If the requirement is to restrict access to these global templates for some spaces, then you would want to make blueprints. Blueprints can be disabled in…

For server, stopping the confluence service is routinely done for scheduled maintenance. You could take this approach for "turning off Confluence". @AnnWorley If he is in the confluence-administrators group yet not a sys admin, could he potentially go to global permissions and mark confluence-users as "can't use"? Check…

Wouldn't mind seeing an article on "automating upgrades" - wink wink nudge nudge.

@Alfredo Negrete * Navigate to global permissions * Add your admin account to the individual users section.

FYI: Since this was a lightly used new field in a test project, I deleted and recreated these. I would still like to know how to resolve if this was a widely used field. Kind of wondering if inputting a space would have resolved.. hmm...

This is how they get you :D @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- and @Ollie Guanare correct. The more your environment grows, the higher the cost of your add-ons. Do note, the maintenance price after the first year is usually lower than the year 1 cost ; Might be worthwhile emailing their support to see what year 2's pricing is for…

In 1-2 months; I need to look into space exporting and various other things a bit more before the retake.

@HiteshS We are at 2000 users with 80GB opt/attachments directory. Since we host the solution, there really isn't a max number: It all comes down to hardware limitations and pricing of memory. Once we hit 90% capacity, we increase storage and plan for future growth. @Brant Schroeder 's link above notes the following:…

@shadowrunnerWhile demoing other functionality, Handy Macros for Confluence was nice. Their add-on includes a carousel. There are other vendors as well: I would suggest searching the marketplace, install the various options in UAT, and evaluate.

Wouldn't mind a blog post carousel as well; users wouldn't need to vertically scroll.

This is happening to my environment in 7.3.4 but not in our UAT 7.7.0. Will be interesting to see if my issues is resolved when I upgrade in a week. Sys admin said permissions were fine in our instance.

@Daniel Céspedes For #2, I have requested an enhancement from Copy page tree and Copy page hierarchy to update macros' space key to the new space instead of the source. After some updates from Copy page hierarchy (very easy vendor to work with), some macros updated to the new space key while others did not: Space key…

Hi @HiteshS, Are you referencing the attachments directory size on the server or an actual file which is larger than 100mb? Opt/attachments is where the bulk of your attachments will live so you will want to allow enough space for future growth. For files: To change the max attachment size allowed for uploading, follow the…

Server 6.6.1

Ohhhhhhh, in view mode, ctrl + shift + C opened developer mode. In edit mode, was able to copy and paste the row.

Works for me on 66.0.3359.139 (32-Bit)

Clearing the /work directory fixed the issue.

Thank you all again for the suggestions and comments. General feedback: * Results - I will be taking the exam again :( * Time: 150 minutes - still felt rushed * Questions on the test were way more complex versus the prep course Next steps: * Work on creating a test user account so I can see how non-admin users see the…

They do offer them! Should be ok; we all need to work in a chaotic environment when troubleshooting right?!

What @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-said and if you are hooked up to active directory (user directory), it would be their windows password by default.

Like JIRA, it is also wise to re-index Confluence after upgrading or installing add-ons.

Update: Took a trip over to the testing center so I knew where I was going... got to the classroom, and there is jackhammering going on next door. *Joy* #bosenoisecancelingheadphonesmaybe #scratchthatboseistooexpensive

Checked with the sys admin; sounds like permissions are ok. * He will be clearing out the content in /work and /temp in efforts to resolve. * We will also run in safe mode before to see if this also positively impacts the situation.

Thanks for the info, I will try this. Just found out when people are editing items from the dashboard, they also get error screens... Error instantiating webwork.multipart.parser.class: com.atlassian.jira.web.JiraMultipartRequestWrapper(original message: null) If editing within a project, it is fine. Something screwy is…

It would be a product enhancement request. There isn't one out of the box.

I found the following Atlassian page helpful when trying to hide elements: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-hide-elements-in-confluence-using-css-or-javascript-313458894.html I was told to hide the 'like button'...

During user training, I have shown people to just right click the link and open in new tab. I would like "open in new tab" to be a check box in the link setup someday..

No. Our environment is pretty basic. Xporter/script runner/nfeed are the main add-ons. This just kind of happened out of the blue.
