When bulk importing pages using "Import Word Document", is possible to assign a Blueprint to pages?

Full Question:

  • When bulk importing pages into Confluence using the "Import Word Document" feature, Is possible to assign a specific "Blueprint" to those pages during that process or can a user retroactively add blueprints after bulk page creation is complete?

Goals:

  1. Generate 3 levels of pages and sub-pages inside a space using "Import Word Document". 
    • Basic Example:
      • Root Page #1
        • Sub-Page #2a
          • Sub-Page #3a
        • Sub-Page #2b
          • Sub-Page #3b
        • Sub-Page #2c
          • Sub-Page #3c
    • This can easily be accomplished by using the "Import Word Document" feature. It will generate and split the pages by using Word's H1, H2, and H3 headers when organizing a page tree. Next, change the "Split by header" dropdown during the import process to your current page tree level you are generating. 
  2. During the setup of the of the "Import Word Document" or altering the word document itself, I would like to be able to assign a specific "Blueprint Template" to those pages during the creation or retroactively assign the "Blueprint Template" after the pages have been generated.

Note:

  • I'm not sure what has been updated, but after I figured out how to generate tree pages, I thought I could copy/paste the template from another page into those new pages manually. During my attempt to copy/paste templates manually there is some difference between my old space/page and my new space I am trying to restructure. Confluence won't allow me to copy "Page Layouts" formatting into my new page. 
    • I created a mock up template inside my new space > page and tried copying that into another page and I wasn't able to even copy all. I was only able to copy a specific Page Layout cell.
  • If anyone has any suggestions, guidance, or a better approach on how to accomplish bulk creation of pages + bulk assigning a blueprint template to those pages, I would be very grateful for any help. I may not not be utilizing another feature in Confluence that might accomplish this goal, so please let me know if I'm missing something. Thank you in advanced.

Edit:

After digging a little further, the copy/paste issue is due to the update with the legacy editor and new editor in the same space.
