How to auto populate date field in confluence pages and template?

Aniket Sedhai July 3, 2023

I am creating a bunch of templates for different types of documentation like Technical Review Reports. I have a date field and a username field which are currently occupied by placeholder text relating to the formatting of the date and "@username".

Is there a way these things can be auto-filled so that the user creating the template does not have to type all that information?

I would like the date to be filled with the current date and the username to be filled by whoever changes that document.

You can't do this using a template, but you can with a custom blueprint.

Blueprints allow you to inject custom variables when creating a new page based on a blueprint.
