How do you filter using multiple labels with AND (not OR) in the Task Report macro?

unknown

I have a space where a couple of different teams are collecting meeting notes. I would like to be able to use the Task Report macro to provide each team with a focused list of their action items from the notes that are relevant to their team, but either I'm not getting the syntax correct or the macro can't actually support what I'm trying to do.

The notes page all have the generic label "meeting-notes", which is what I've got on the template. Users are then applying their team labels ("team-a", "team-b") to the page. I've tried entering the labels in two different ways on the Task Report macro:

"meeting-notes team-a" - delivers no results
"meeting-notes, team-a" - the comma appears to act as an OR

I'd rather not have to create a new set of labels ("meeting-notes-team-a") and train users to apply them just for the purpose of filtering these tasks. Is there any character I can use to represent an AND here? Or am I just out of luck?

Hi Brian,

This is not yet a function of the Task Report Macro, but we do have a feature request for this:

CONFCLOUD-45518

Please vote on it in order to show it's something you'd be interested, and feel free to comment with your usage case.

In the meantime, you will need to create a new label to use in order to consider specific pages in your Task Report Macro.

Regards,

Shannon

Thank you Shannon. I've voted for that item and added a comment.

In general, I would like to see a more consistent set of filter options for macros, either something similar to the options on the Page Properties Report macro, or just the ability for a power user to directly enter a CQL expression. I keep running into walls trying to support my business users, where it's not clear to them (or to me) why there's such inconsistencies on how they can go after data, and it's impacting their confidence and excitement in the tool.

That would indeed be very useful and could take care of a lot of customer's concerns where it comes to not being able to use a macro exactly in the way they require.

I did find this request as well, but sadly it doesn't have a lot of votes on it:

CONFCLOUD-36546

Hopefully by putting it here it will get more eyes on it, so please also feel free to vote/comment on that one.

Thanks for that additional item, Shannon. I went and voted for it, and added a comment as well.

I really like the tool in general, but it's frustrating when I can see how a macro could be used to solve a business problem in a straightforward way, if only I could apply the same options from a seemingly very similar macro.

Conclusion, Confluence Team is still taking vote for this feature.

2023. No progress it seems.

Not only the task report should be able to switch between logical AND and OR. All fields, which accept more the 1 label should behave like that, please.

BTW: My workaround is to use the /page property report, which allows multiple labels en search condition.
And therefore I added the hidden /page properties macro to all our page templates.
