Table of contents with included pages/excerpts

Question

Hi there,

I am currently testing confluence for documenting quite a bunch of similar products. For that I'd like to reuse content as good as possible, which is easy to do with the include page and the include excerpt macros.

Unfortunately, when I have a ToC in my resulting documentation page, the headings of the included pages/excerpts are not shown.

BTW: this was working in Confluence DC, but doesn't in Confluence cloud.
Any idea / workaround / app, how to solve this issue?

best regards,

Martin

I face the same issue after a migration to cloud where the pages having this type of configuration. It concerns also the include pages /exceprt embeded into a numbered heading plugin macro. 
Anyone has found a solution for that? Or there won't be any fix?

@martinunver Unfortunately, I think this is working as designed. Since the headings in the included page are wrapped in the Include Page macro, they do not exist on the page and are not, therefore, picked up for the TOC macro.
