Missing parentid in csv export

Hi @Ahmed Oyeleke

I believe this limitation of the space export CSV in Confluence Cloud arises because, since Atlassian added folders as a content type, pages within folders sometimes lack the folder's content ID in the parentid column. The export, designed around a traditional page hierarchy, may not accurately reflect folder parentage.

To get reliable parent information, u could try using the Confluence v2 REST API instead:

GET /wiki/api/v2/pages?space-id={spaceId}&limit=250

Cheers, Martin

With the Better Content Archiving app, you can add the "Parent" column to all content list views. This column displays folder type parents, as well:

And when you export the list to CSV (see the icon under the list), the resulted CSV contains:

1. the "Parent URL" column (where URLs also contain the ID)
2. the "Parent ID" column (with only the ID itself)

Both these columns work for folders with no difference.
