Creating a page from a template with [entry.field] referneces

[Chris Iacovelli]

I have a page which uses a confiform form data entry to create a new page from a predefined template using the data entered in the form. Easy peasy, this works without issue, page created and it is located in the proper hierarchy within Confluence.

Wrinkle comes when I enter [entry.field name] references in the template. When the template is used to create the page, the current confiform data (not the field references) is used to create the templated page, e.g., 

from template:

after page created:

I am trying to find a way to forego the substitution as the page is created from the template (if that even is an option).

Look at asEntryRef function https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions

Or create pages from the template using [rawtemplate.<template_name>] instruction (expects the contents to be in a Confluence template)
