How do I create a meeting note from a page link and not the menu

Question

Hello,

I have a template for creating pages with automatic numbering. For each page, I would like to create a meeting note.

So on my generated page, I would like to add a link to create the meeting note that would be linked to the created meeting notes. We used to be able to do that in wiki markup in the earlier versions for Confluence but I can't seem to find a way to do it today.

Brant,

Thanks for looking into this!

I will raise the feature request.

@David I played around with the undefined pages but was not able to find a way to get it to create anything other than a blank page.  Looking into this further I found this feature request which I believe is what you are trying to do and they answered with the macro I posted above.  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-29161

So at this time, there is not an option that provides the functionality you would like.  I would suggest raising a feature request to see if they will implement some wiki markup to allow you to specify a template in the undefined link.

Brant, no worries about the link. It happens to all of us ;-)

We use used to be able to do something similar in wiki markup before.

Like  [name of new page] would create the new page and turn the text into a link to the newly created page.

We can still do that as described on this page. However, I wanted to create a link to a meeting note and not a simple page.

The user then only needs to click once, in the right location instead of going through the menu and then linking the meeting note from the first page.
