URL for Creating a New Page from Template

[Aaron]

Hi,

I want to avoid using the 'Create from Template' macro and instead use a Aura Panel that I can click to create a template My main reason for doing is because it allows me to add a picture.

I reviewed this answer:
https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-questions/URL-or-hyperlink-to-page-creation-via-template/qaq-p/819221

But in trying a few combinations, this doesn't seem to work for me. I either get the response:
1. "Your request could not be processed because a required security token was not present in the request. You may need to re-submit the form or reload the page." or
2. "Page not found"

What I thought would be correct based on the above URL answer's format is:

https://confluence.nz.service.ABC/pages/createpage-entervariables.action?templateId=1579778071&spaceKey=VWXYZ&title=HELLO&newSpaceKey=VWXYZ

I am aware I have used my space key twice though, so I'm not sure what "newSpaceKey" is asking for.

Bold: I've replaced my organisation (ABC) and key (VWXYZ) for privacy.

Template ID: I am going to "Space Tools", "Content Tools", "Templates" and clicking on my Template, then viewing the URL and copying the "Entity ID from here.

Title: I assume "&title" is what the page draft gets called?

Any advice? Or is it simply that my organisation is blocking this ability?

Hey @Aaron ,

I was playing with this on the cloud a while back but I'm not sure if I've actually managed to get it to work. I've tried re-creating this direct link to template the other day, but I got stuck at some point.

I've definitely seen a couple of use cases for it, so it would be beneficial for sure.

I don't have a DC instance to try this out, but from what I've managed to dig out from official resources, the path you've tried should work on-prem. 🤔

If no one chimes in here, you could maybe try reaching out official support team > they should definitely have insights about this, and if it's feasible on the current version of DC that you're using.

Cheers,
Tobi
