Excerpt from parent page

Question

hello guys, i need your help :-)
i want to include the content "123" from the parent page. If i use the excerpt macro i have to define the "page with excerpt", how can i define this without knowing the exact name of the parent "master-page"?
I mean, if someone creates a new page below "Master-Page-123" it should automatically reuse the content of the parent "Master-Page-123".

Hi I_A May, you can debug the macro by printing the parameters temporarily to see if something goes wrong within the code like #set($parentId = $pageManager.getPage($content.id).parent.getContentId().asLong())

$parentId

#set ($requestedPage = $pageManager.getPage($parentId).getTitle())

$requestedPage

Hey ,

I hope you are still active and can help me here.

I have 2 Confluence servers. On one server this macro works fine and I created many templates which work perfectly. But on the other confluence server I always get "Cannot show tasks on parent page because this page has no parent."  eventhough the settings, the templates and the macro are absolutely identical.

Do you know what could be the problem?

Thank you!

@0x7c2 I created a custom user macro for this: ## Developed by: Felix Schäfer & Alexander Wirtz ## Date created: 07/12/202 ## @noparams #set($parentId = $pageManager.getPage($content.id).parent.getContentId().asLong()) #set ($requestedPage = $pageManager.getPage($parentId).getTitle()) #if ($parentId) true

$requestedPage

#else Cannot show tasks on parent page because this page has no parent. #end
