Depending on where the article or blog entry is hosted, it's possible you might be able to include content from an external website using the iFrame macro: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-iframe-macro/

Community is showing me this related question: Confluence の Jiraマクロで、Next Gen. の Epic Nameを出力したい。 Which Google Translates to: I want to output the Epic Name of Next Gen. In the Jira macro of Confluence. Anyways, it's actually about Jira Macros, but there is a suggestion of using a Parent field. I wonder if that might work…

Oh yeah, good call. Issue Templates is a solid product, and a good choice for this if they want to avoid the hassle of CSV imports and are willing to pay for it.

As it happens, one of the main things I'm tasked with at my (kind of new) job is to try and "clean up" Confluence, and the approach I took was to install an add-on that offers functionality exactly like what you're looking for - the ability to put an "expiration date" on pages. Unfortunately that add-on (Better Content…

Alas no, this is a longstanding feature request: * CONFSERVER-27894 - Provide ability to easily highlight text with color in WYSIWYG editor * CONFCLOUD-27894 (Same bug for Confluence Cloud) So out of the box, the only thing you can do is either change text color (meh) OR "highlight" words by commenting on them. Now,…

I love Automation but ugh, don't envy the person who has to create a rule or set of rules to create 100 separate tasks. (You could automate rule creation with some JSON hackery but that's another article I have to write.) But if a big part of the work is just creating tasks, I would propose instead that you export the…

Heh, sorry. Sometimes I overdo it. :-} Yeah, luckily I dug into this previously, but it was fun to poke around at it again.

I guess it would help if we knew what your use case was.

OH! So if by chance the image you want to include in Description is externally accessible (doesn't need to be an attachment to Jira), you could do this: Michael Cera! !https://i.imgur.com/rbXZcVH.jpeg! That ended up giving me this:

Oooh. Tricky. So the only way Jira does images inside of Description is by including an attachment with code like: !middle.jpg|thumbnail! I don't think Automation (in the Cloud) allows for adding attachments. :-{ https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-75991 https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1030…

Same ticket in Atlassian's system: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-159

So... this may just not be possible: As @John Funk wrote back in Nov 2020: This is the second time in a couple of weeks where people are having trouble in Automation with the Target Date. It "seems" to be a typical date field type, but it doesn't behave as one when using Automation. And @Bill Sheboy found: According to…

Oh and also: {{issue.customfield_14202}}

I guess I would also try seeing if you get anything for these Smart Values: {{issue.Target Start}} {{issue.Target Start.value}} {{issue."Target Start"}} {{issue."Target Start".value}}

So if you install jq, you can further filter the query for to only questions that have not been marked as answered by somebody else: curl -s…

It would be helpful to do some debugging to see what an existing value looks like (to Automation). So I would create a new rule with a Manual Trigger that doesn't do anything but do a Log action with a message of: Target Start: {{issue.customfield_14202.value}} And then manually trigger the rule from an issue that already…

I've added conversation.solved to the results to show if somebody else's answer has been accepted, but I can't figure out why the API won't allow me to query on that field, even though their examples show that it should work. (Enh - it has to do with depth=0 being required, which doesn't work here because your answers are…

OOOH, and duh, if you have Firefox, or get the JSON Viewer extension for Chrome/Brave, you can just hit this URL: https://community.atlassian.com/api/2.0/search?api.pretty_print=true&q=SELECT%20view_href%20FROM%20messages%20WHERE%20author.id=%27554991%27%20AND%20is_answer=true%20AND%20is_solution=false%20LIMIT%201000

EDITED because the final answer is buried in the comments: * Go to your Profile ID in the Community (clicking on your avatar/photo in the top right should work). Copy the numbers at the end of the URL. For instance for me that would be 1365322: * If you're on Chrome, install JSON Viewer. * You don't need anything for…

Looks like "Target Start" is just a date (without a timestamp)? Maybe try: {{now.jiraDate}} Some other functions you might try are here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/date-and-time-functions-993924864.html 

Do your Audit logs show anything? It's useful to add Logging before and after the IF clause to see things the values of things like: {{issue.status.name}} and {{issue.issueType.name}}

Ooof sorry! I had these links up but totally forgot to paste them in. They should help in your debugging: * What is the audit log? * Debug a rule 

You should use Log action to write the value to the audit log to check the value and see if it is what you expect. Also try removing the Advanced compare condition to validate that your JQL query is properly matching.

You're trying to compare two numbers with JQL. It doesn't do that. You want to use the Advanced compare condition: (Not sure if 30*3600 will work there. If not, use 126000, per @Danut M _StonikByte_

For bulk import with attachments you can use CSV but you'll have to upload your attachments to a website that is accessible by Cloud. Details here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/import-data-from-a-csv-file/

Yeah, "In my day..." is an evergreen topic. ;-}

To extend this idea, it would probably be possible to use a Custom URL Field that is not editable and use Automation to dynamically generate a URL like https://YOURSITE.atlassian.net/issues/?jql=siblingGroupID%3D"{{issue.fields.siblingGroupID}} But yeah, just a link, not embedded. On the other hand, it's "free". :-}

Hrm. Does it actually work in Structure and whatever roadmapping tool you're using? My understanding was that Script Fields are a little... weird. To wit: In Cloud, Scripted Fields are not stored as normal Jira custom fields. Instead, the field output is added to an issue’s properties and therefore inherits the issue’s…

Oh man, now you've done it. I went and learned the tiniest bit of Groovy on Jira Cloud: def links = get('/rest/api/3/issue/' + issue.key) .header('Content-Type', 'application/json') .asObject(Map) // issueType IDs can be found by inspecting HTML on the Issue Linking page:…

Speaking of never too late, after playing at a local pickup Ultimate game where I was getting outrun by guys probably 10-20 years my senior, I thought... maybe it's time to actually ... train? As mentioned before, I hate the idea of just "working out", but I had heard of a program that specifically tried to address areas…
