Hi all,
I use the macro: Create Page a lot.
I use this to create a new page with a specific template under a subpage to keep things organized.
This was working without problems ever since for a long time. 
But now it's broken . The page is being created but only at the root level of the space.
It makes no difference to edit or change the directory; it only creates the space under the root level. I use Data Center version 10.2.13. Is this a known problem? If not , how can I fix this ?
The workaround to create a page from the template doesn't work for me since I cannot set the page target directory in it.

Hi Gabriela,
I only use the Macro Create Page, I don't use the macro Create from Template
Here , I normally can use the Parent parameter.
This is the function that is not working anymore.

I only mentioned the Create from Template because this was marked as a workaround in another post from one year ago.
But this doesn't work for me because I cannot set the page target directory, like you mentioned.

You're right, my earlier answer was off - I pointed you at the native Create from Template macro, but the one you're describing isn't native. Confluence has no built-in "Create Page" macro and no Parent parameter. That macro comes from ScriptRunner for Confluence (Adaptavist) - its Create Page macro is the only widely-used one literally named that and with a Parent field. What's happening: that macro builds a link into Confluence's page-creation flow and hands it your parent, and 10.2 changed that flow enough that the parent gets dropped, so the page lands at the space root. It's a ScriptRunner-vs-Confluence-10 compatibility break, not something you can fix in the macro config. Go to Manage apps, check the ScriptRunner version and update it to a build that lists Confluence 10.2 support; if you're already on the latest, raise it with Adaptavist as a 10.2 regression since the fix is on their side. Quick confirm - does "ScriptRunner for Confluence" show in Manage apps?

Hi @Thomas de Bruijn, this looks like a duplicate of your other post, so I answered it in full there: Create Page Maco "parent" not working. The gist: the Create from Template macro has no parent parameter, so the new page lands under whatever page the macro sits on; pages dropping to the space root is the known regression, fixed by replacing the button with its link plus &fromPageId=PAGEID (your parent page's ID).
