Labelling multiple pages in a single action (thru UWC or confluence)

[Lis Riba]

I'm using the UWC converter to import several hundred pages (a glossary) and I want to assign the same tag to them all.

The documentation on UWC's Label Framework seems primarily guided towards coding and editing the JAR - something I'd rather not do.

Is it possible to do this through modifications to the .properties file, or even independently of UWC?

I see several ways something like this could be done, but don't know how to implement it:

• Add a line to the properties file which assigns label "foo" to all imported pages
• Add some kind of label field to all the to-be-converted files which says "label:foo" and add a line to the properties file which converts that string to the label
• Import/convert all the pages without labels, and then run some macro within Confluence to label all the pages. [I will be importing all the pages to a new dedicated space, but will then move them to an existing space which will contain other pages.]

Any suggestions for how to do this?

I ended up using the Confluence CLI (Command-Line Interface) - extremely useful tool, that.

Hi,

You could do it with Label Manager for Confluence plug in.https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.kostebekteknoloji.plugins.confluence.confluence-label-manager
You could search for similar labels in a space and then merge them into one standard label.
You could also do bulk operations like appending , adding and removing labels.
Documentation is here:http://www.confluence.kostebekteknoloji.com/display/PLUG/Label+Manager+for+Confluence

There isn't a facility in place (in the UWC) to automatically add a label to every page using a property only. That being said, you could try leveraging a combination of a UWC property with adaptavist's add-label macro .

Something like:

mywiki.1234.addalabel.java-regex=(.)${replace-with}$1NEWLINE{add-label:foo}

This would add a newline and your addlabel macro to the end of every page
