Error when using the page include macro: "Unable to render {include}..."

Question

Using the "Include Page" macro on parent page to include child pages using "spaceKey:PageName" in macro parameter works after initial save of parent page.

However, after editing parent page and saving, the parent page seems to break the "Include Page" macro parameters by removing the "spaceKey" portion of parameter resulting in "Unable to render {include}..." message on parent page where the "Include Page" macros are located.

* Verified I have access to both parent an child pages.
* Not limited to one page or space.
* Been happening for several months.

Seems that i found an explanation. Our page names contain some ":". Confluence seems to parse it and make a pseudo space-key with this 1st part.

Exemple :

<ri:page ri:space-key=\"SDEK - MEP du 2020/05/19 \" ri:content-title=\" Aug de CMA - pilotage risque\" />

when the page name is : "SDEK - MEP du 2020/05/19 : Aug de CMA - pilotage risque"

The correct space key is just "ECCO"

So i remove all ":" from page names included.

Same problem with Confluence 7.4.4.

One page where we have like 20 include page macro.

All have the spacekey. Page is saved, reopened and we 've got this error "Unable to render {include}...".

If we edit the link once more, some have lost the spacekey.

We have several Confluence spaces but in this page, all the included page are in the same space.

What's the error you see on the logs? They will be the best place we can start the troubleshooting from.
