Create Confluence page using a template - Groovy

Question

Hi

I've read this documentation piece https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/interacting-with-confluence-from-jira.html

Sadly it doesn't mention using Confluence Page templates. Is it possible to create a templated page from Groovy?

I'm facing a similar issue.  Within scriptrunner using this as my source

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/interacting-with-confluence-from-jira.html

I would like to use a template instead of having to create the source within the script as some folks have suggested.

The one other solution I did find requires me to create a REST endpoint and the complexity is way overboard.

We're trying to modify this block to call and save a template
def params = [
type : "page",
title: pageTitle,
space: [
key: "TEST" // set the space key - or calculate it from the project or something
],
/* // if you want to specify create the page under another, do it like this:
ancestors: [
[
type: "page",
id: "14123220",
]
],*/
body : [
storage: [
value : pageBody,
representation: "wiki"
],
],
]

Hi Gleb

We launched a new app that allows you to create pages from templates and store the Confluence page in a Jira customfield to apply more actions like:

Workflow postfuntions

* Update page permissions
* Update page content
* Update page title

Workflow conditions

* Check if page was modified after a certain status transition
* Check if page still has a placeholder

And so much more.

Please give it a try, I believe it would streamline alot of repeated effort on your team

Jira Confluence Workflow Extensions (JCWE)

Give it a try I am confident you'll love it.

Hi,

You'll need to use Confluence REST API to do it.

* Locate an example page with the template applied.
* Scrub that page via a REST API call using the following endpoint: GET /rest/api/content (This will allow you to get the storage format).
* From this, pass the storage format to your create call using this endpoint: POST /rest/api/content

While these steps are simplified, this process should allow you to create a page based off a user template.
