Hi,
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 @Thomas de Bruijn, that's the macro working as designed, not a broken setting. The Create from Template macro has no parent or directory parameter. The new page becomes a child of the page that contains the macro, and Space Key only chooses the space. So if pages land at the root, either the macro isn't sitting on the parent you expect, or you've hit the known "creates at root instead of child" regression. Reliable fix: copy the button's link, replace the button with that link, and append &fromPageId=PAGEID (your parent page's ID). Details: Create from Template Macro.
