All,
I have a simple requirement and thought this should be easy to do with Confluence. But, it turns out that it may actually not be possible.
I have two pages with the same page property macro. The table inside the page property macro has 3 columns and 5 rows. This is the same on both pages.
I have then a summary page where I have setup the Page Properties Report macro. The result I like to see are 10 records retrieved from the two pages (5 records from each page). However, i only see two records, one record for each page.
Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible?
Thanks
Mustafa
Thanks for your answer JP. Is there any other mechanism to pull multiple records from a child page to a parent page?
How do you define a record? A row in a table?
You can use the excerpt macro & the excerpt include marco on the parent page. You could use more than one page property macro on a child page & have more than one page property report on a parent page...

JB, by the way, I am living in Bielefeld as well. Working for adidas as Director Solution Architecture :-).
Back to my problem:
Yes, a record is a row in a table. The table has the same layout across all "child" pages. Now, on the "parent page", I want to have a table (same layout as the tables on the child pages) and have all records from the "child pages" included. Below picture for clarification. I tried with excerpt / excerpt include but so for no luck. Will try again.

Hi Mustafa,
the rows in the table on your 2 pages are mapped to columns in the page property report.
The first column of the table defines the property names, the second column the property value. The property name is then a column on the property report page. Each page is only listed once with the linked page title in the first column of the report. All other columns to be displayed are defined in the page property report marco.
So the result is correct: 2 pages = 2 rows.
You wrote, that the table inside your page property macro has 3 columns. Never tried this and as I recall only the first two columns (Property name & property value column) are used.
Best
JP
