Can we automate the creation of new UI Expand sections with a user-defined button?

New to Confluence - please advise if this is possible without purchasing add-ons.

Context:

We have a Confluence page for weekly reports that uses UI Expand to separate the weeks. Currently, at the beginning of each week:

1. Users create a new UI expand section for that week with the appropriate title. They can create one by "Inserting more content" or paste from a template at the bottom of page.

2. Add report text for that week

3. Save changes

----------

Problem:

We have a rotating cast of new users who struggle with creating the UI Expand sections. All users are comfortable with adding/editing text to an existing report.

Do not want to clog up the page by creating empty UI Expand sections to be filled at a later time.

-----------------------------

Proposed solution:

Create a button ("Create New Weekly Report") on the page to automate the UI Expand creation steps. When this user-defined button is clicked, it will:

1. Prompt user to provide a title and short description (optional & used for report body)

2. Create UI Expand section at the top of the page with parameters (title and description) from step#1

3. Save the changes to the page

 

Is this feasible? Thanks!
