Smart button won't activate.

Is there a limit to the number of smart buttons we can add to our Confluence pages? For some time now, it's been impossible to add new buttons to my pages. I fill in all the requested information, but the save button is never activated!

Hi @Josée Dufresne 

From what we tested and checked from documentation available, there are no mentioned number limit of smart buttons.

Were you able to create smart buttons on other pages in this same space? If yes, how many? (Depending on how many smart buttons you created, we can try creating a much as you did to confirm if there is a limitation not documented or tested until now).

In case you were unable to create any smart buttons in any pages for a specific space, but you could create in another space, it can be related to the space permissions.

When you create a smart button, you are basically creating a new automation in your space, and to create new automation in a given space, you must be a space administrator in that space. Create automation rules in Confluence 

Please let us know if this is related to the space permissions, and in case it isn't, which number of smart buttons you already have in the Space. :)

Regards,
Jessica

Hi @Josée Dufresne from a troubleshooting perspective, have you tested this on multiple pages?  Do other users have this issue? Does the browser make a difference?  I looked on Atlassian's Jira Site for similar issues, but didn't find anything.  If you put that new button on a completely different Confluence Page, does it work?  

I've requested Atlassian Support take a look at your issue. If you don't hear back from them with a few days, I would suggest opening a Support Request with as much detail as you can get.

Hope that helps.
