    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      As a confluence Administrator, when I set up a new instance of confluence 6.4 with MySQL using the utf8mb4 character set, the installer will refuse to continue with the datasource. This should be reverted to the behavior from 6.3 where it's possible to use this encoding for a new install.I can live with the somewhat nonsensical warning about unsupported character set / collation. 

      Currently, I would need to first install version 6.3, go through the Setup Assistant, then upgrade to 6.4. 

      INFO: UTF8MB4 is now supported in confluence 7.3.1. Please see the notes to migrate from UTF8 to UTF8MB4 here.
      If you are unable to migrate to UFT8MB4 please read  CONFSERVER-18509 - Confluence should handle this gracefully for most scenarios where 4-byte characters are used by providing meaningful error messages.

            Monique,
            Thank you.

            Solved after upgrading to Atlassian Trouble shooting and Support Tools version 1.23.3.

            Hi nchihara, yes, it's implemented into Confluence 7.3.1. Here's the documentation for it: Database Setup For MySQL.
            About the healthcheck, can we confirm that the Atlassian Support Tools plugin is on the latest version? Thanks

            Do you implement this  into Confluence 7.3.1 released yesterday?

            Healthcheck still detects error that DB's collation/character set are not utf8.
