Create child page from template with prefilled title

Question

Hello!
I have a parent page named "page 1".
On it I want to place the "Create from template" button.
At the same time, I need that when the "Create from template" button is pressed, a child page is created with a pre-filled title, for example (Documentation + page 1). That is, the title of the child page should automatically fill in the title with two variables, this is an arbitrary text + the title of the parent page.

What solutions are currently available? How can I implement it?

@Marianne Lee , the variable in the template works as with the create from template macro, you get a screen first where you enter the variabler value.

But as far as I can see, the use of that variable in the Create page macro is not possible. Correct, @Jessie Wang_ScriptRunner_The Adaptavist Group ?

Hi @Patrick Vanhoof, do you know I can create a new page from a template while passing a custom variable $myVariable to the template to generate content? At the same time the page title uses $myVariable as a prefix, how can this be done without having to enter the value twice for $myVariable?  Can this be achieved using the "Create Page" macro by ScriptRunner ?

Hi @Jessie Wang_ScriptRunner_The Adaptavist Group , I have ScriptRunner for Confluence (server) and exploring the possibilities with extending the "Create Page" macro by ScriptRunner.

My goal is to create a new page from a template while passing a custom variable $myVariable to the content body from page template. At the same time the page title uses $myVariable as a prefix.

1. Is it possible to create a custom class to extend the CreatePageMacro? I've not been able to succeed as described in Customising Macro Variables.  Do you have any code examples?

2. Is it possible to grab a value from a table in a current Confluence and pass it on to CreatePageMacro?

otherwise,

3. Can the value from <Prompt Title> in "Create Page" macro be passed to a page template?
