Missing parentid in csv export

[Ahmed Oyeleke]

Hi!

I have exported an entire space, but when I'm reviewing the "content" csv, I noticed there are over a thousand pages that do not have a value in the parentid column. I looked a few of them up, and they are located in folders which appear on the content list with content ids. Any ideas as to why this information would be missing in the export? Thanks!

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
