You know @Bryan Guffey, now that I've looked at the Forge Validator docs you mentioned on LinkedIn it's actually kind of NUTS that Atlassian would go to the work to create an infrastructure for building a single use validator with Jira Expressions, when INSTEAD they could have included a "Custom Jira Expressions Validator"…

@Bryan Guffey this is a tour de force. Very very cool. But once upon the time having spent a ton of time with Jira Expressions, I did want to point out that since your solution still requires people to learn Jira Expressions (which in itself can be daunting) there is a free add-on called Custom Workflow Condition,…

@Dick I would agree that we shouldn't take things out on Devs. Or on PMs, even. :-} But to your point about trying to reach "decision makers". Yes, there's support tickets. Yes there is JAC. But it's difficult to feel like voices are being heard when old bugs/suggestions/etc. just seem to stick around forever, gathering…

I'd like to add my voice to @Ken Poulton's rallying call to "Save the Gallery". Our users use the Gallery macro to post office event photos, and the workaround of manually recreating galleries with Tables, is not a great process. And let's not even talk about how impossible it will be to try to manually recreate a "broken"…

Some of my users have also expressed dislike for this pop-up, and I'm also not a fan. I'd love to figure out a Tampermonkey script to block this. Man, I need to learn how to dig deeper into Javascript events with the Developer tab in Chrome...

Ok, has it been 24 hours? Yes ok. Perhaps I was a bit hasty to scream at the Sales guys and assume bad intent. But hey, GGR is a great movie. So upon further inspection and reflection, this is a DIFFERENT KIND OF SCREW-UP. I think this is because Atlassian revamped their "home pages" for Jira and Confluence. Before After…

I email the site creators. I have a whole form letter ready to go. Not all folks replied, but those who have confirm that they didn't know they were creating new sites and were just trying to log in. Again, 100% of people who responded said they accidentally created sites while trying to log in.

So ok, I've done some more testing, and I think I've figured out that the SALES and MARKETING team or whoever is trying to drive up their SALES NUMBERS is doing something shady with the SPONSORED GOOGLE LINKS. So here’s the URL of the first link above :…

Oh hey, happy June, everyone. Atlassian has made this problem worse. MUCH WORSE. * What in the WHAT Atlassian? Making Shadow (Accidental) IT even easier! 

Hey @Wendy Grapentine , so yes, I think folks are curious about your use case because simply watching a page or creating an automation that emails folks about the edit seems like it would suffice. I'm guessing your use case might involve folks who wouldn't have access to your Confluence, hence the need to send a PDF. @Bill…

Oh hey, happy June, everyone. Atlassian has made this problem worse. MUCH WORSE. * What in the WHAT Atlassian? Making Shadow (Accidental) IT even easier! 

Sorry to clarify, I believe the Edit labels menu option is part of the newest "Collaboration Updates" (which comes with the Live Docs beta) and yes, I see it's only available on company not personal sites. That's a good catch. What I was trying to say is that that option is NOT available in the "New Navigation":

Hey @Kristian Klima - ahhh, the discrepancy is still there with whether you've clicked into the page or not, but I now realize that there's a difference in Labels behavior between Home/Overview pages and regular pages: Home/Overview pages (this is a new feature - you didn't used to be able to add Labels to these pages w/o…

OK! I figured something out. Labels were NEVER shown on "Home/Overview" pages. I tested my Sandbox (which I just reverted to the old nav) as well as Production (on new nav but NOT Live Docs Beta). So that must explain why the Labels interface is completely different for Home/Overview pages vs regular pages: And in fact, in…

I spoke too soon. It works inconsistently. Sometimes I have to click somewhere on the page (this is in View mode). If I reload page, or go to a different page and then back, it also sometimes works. Odd.

Thanks for the reassurance, @Abby Crisp ! I confirmed that L is working for labels, and K is now working for Link to Content, however Ctrl+Opt+A now is not working for Labels. I'm using Chrome 137.0.7151.104 on a Mac (Sonoma 14.7.5)

Hey @Kristian Klima according to @Abby Crisp We do not plan to deprecate the single-character shortcuts in the short term, and we'll continue supporting them — including keeping "L" for Labels, "T" for Attachments and "K" for Link to Content. We added the new shortcuts (like Ctrl + Opt + A) to ensure these actions work…

@Marco Dieckhoff Haha, sorry, that is a great catch: > as the opt-out rate is < 2%. So, there is an opt-out? I users complain, how can they, or can we as admin, disable the new navigation for them then? So for Jira, there indeed is an opt-out, but the caveat is that it is only temporary. (Details at end of this post.)…

Grrr, we are seeing this as well with the regular Editor (not Legacy, NOT Live Docs Beta). Last week I also asked colleagues and they could not repro so we figured it was some weird Chrome extension I had installed. This week (probably related to the June 9 Release Track rollout - are any/all of you you on Release Track?),…

Hi @Tony I - The Actions that you've screenshot there are Automations themselves. They are showing up in that menu because they have Manual triggers. If you want an to automatically trigger "Value Release - Add Required Forms" from an issue creation, you would simply need to copy that rule and change the trigger to be:…

Hey y'all. Looks like Atlassian is looking for direct feedback. I'd recommend signing up: Join our research study: Seeking participants to help us improve Atlassian’s navigation While we’ve seen strong quantitative success (like low opt-out rates and solid usage), we want to dig deeper into how the experience feels and…

@a_bondarchuk wow, I don't think @Varsha Patel meant to, but it seems like this is a direct response to your request that Atlassian does an open survey: * Join our research study: Seeking participants to help us improve Atlassian’s navigation 

Oh man, this is good to know. Thanks @Bill Sheboy !

Haha, I posted too slow! What @Bill Sheboy said. :-} Yeah, the iteration part would be tricky, because since the API is to move a page relative to another page, you'd need to refer to the prior pageId to put the next one after, and without global variables this doesn't work. At least, that's what I'm thinking as I try to…

Hi @Todd Winton - Unfortunately I don't currently see an easy way to do this. There is an API to Move a page to a new location relative to a target page So in theory, you could create a scheduled task that sends a web request to the API to get a list of all the pages in your space, sort them by title, and then use send a…

@Abhinav Singh speaking of Keyboard Shortcuts (and @Debbie Jolley speaking of muscle memory!), does this change also include the new built-in Keyboard Shortcuts described here? * Keyboard shortcuts and autocomplete That new shortcuts page shows that these heavily used single-key shortcuts have changed: Create (C), Comment…

Hi @Abhinav Singh - moving Apps to a subfolder in the Overflow menu breaks Keyboard Shortcuts for third-party apps like the one I just got working. I opened a ticket about this: https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/34/ECOHELP-68424 I also posted about it in the Developer Community Forums:…

Hi @Abhinav Singh -- Are these changes going to be in Bundled Release Tracks? Do you know when they should be hitting Preview? What about Release? The only one of them I see is: Editor updates: Select where your toolbar appears, insert with +, and more We're introducing a revamped editing experience in Confluence. You can…

Ugh, yes, I think once again I've forgotten that asJsonObjectArray only works if it's ALREADY a list of pairs. You reminded me that keyName isn't a label for the OUTPUT, but a parameter for the INPUT. (For some reason I always think this function lets me give it a simple array of values and it'll convert that to a…

Thanks, and nice catch @Bill Sheboy ! Yes, I did think about the small possibility that the page may be momentarily visible/editable to people who should not have access due to the latency. I was lazily clearing all Restrictions because I erroneously thought that the alternative was having to make two additional calls: 1)…
