Hello, I am trying to setup an automation in confluence that will trigger manually. This automation will be used on the following page structure:Parent 1Child 1Child 2etc.Parent 2Child 1Child 2etcMy goal is to have the automation trigger from the parent page, create a new child page underneath and then move all the prior children to be children of the newly created page.Any advice, tips, guides are greatly appreciated!

Hi @Ian MacDonald At this time, the Edit Page action does not support changing the parent. One possible workaround is use the Send Web Request action to call the Update Page endpoint to change the parent. Here are some references if you want to try this approach: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-articles/Automation-for-Jira-Send-web-request-using-Jira-REST-API/ba-p/1443828 https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-id-put Kind regards,Bill

Confluence: Create new page and move children

Hello, I am trying to setup an automation in confluence that will trigger manually. This automation will be used on the following page structure:

Parent 1
1. Child 1
2. Child 2
3. etc.
Parent 2
1. Child 1
2. Child 2
3. etc

My goal is to have the automation trigger from the parent page, create a new child page underneath and then move all the prior children to be children of the newly created page.

Any advice, tips, guides are greatly appreciated!
