Create multiple pages from a template.

Question

Hey!

Is it possible to create a template with multiple pages in Confluence? (that is, when you click on the template, several pre-prepared pages are created at once).
Or is it possible to make a customization to create n-th number of templates at once with one click?

Hi @Дмитрий Пересекин ,

If you don't mind using the application for this purpose, have a look at the Gaia Space Importer plugin on the marketplace. It might be helpful.

Templates are for creating a single page (think of a Wrod doc - when you create a doc from a template, it doesn't create 45 separate files, you get one doc).

Multiple pages from one starting point are the domain of blueprints rather that templates.

But, there are some macros around that, if used in templates, will do it.  I used to use the "create page" macro that was provided by an app I can no longer remember - if that were added to a page, then when the page is first created, it would trigger and create a child page beneath the new page it was on, so you could add it to templates and have pages from templates create entire trees
