A way to build an automation to remove the label from the original document but not the copy?

Saša Rosić-Milinković

Hey all,

I use a label to always ensure that the latest release notes for my products are pinned on the relevant pages of our scroll viewport site.

I generally create the release notes by copying the latest release notes, deleting the content within them and adding new one. I know I can make a template for this, but I do it specifically so I don't forget to add the label to it and remove the label from the old release notes - which I do on occasion forget to do and have to correct later on.

I've tried building an automation that basically says:

If page is copied

Then remove the label 'scroll-help-center-pinned-page'

However, that removes the label from the copied page, and not the original, so the exact opposite of what I want to happen.

Is there a way around this?

Hi Saša,

Can you share the rule that you have so far?

Hi @John Funk

Here's a screenshot:

It seems to me that the "page copied" trigger doesn't offer the original page in a smart value. So your approach will not work.

Workaround idea:

Using the "page copied" trigger, in the rule run this CQL:

label = 'scroll-help-center-pinned-page' and created < now("-10m")

It will basically return every page that is older than 10 minutes and has that label. If there are zero hits, then all page is fine. If there is one hit, then it is the original page -> you can remove the label from {{page}}.

Even if it doesn't work as is, it may give you an idea.

Hmm, this would work if I only had this in one space across the entire Confluence documentation base. However, we have release notes written/published in multiple spaces. You might've given me an idea though; I'll try to create one that would only remove the label from any documents in the same space where the new document was copied from (if you have an idea on what this could look like, feel free to suggest).

Thanks for the great suggestion!

Note that there is a concept of "space-specific" automation rule!

There are "global" rules, but there are the ones that are active only within a space. So I think you can just use those.

@Aron Gombas _Midori_ I just realized this yesterday afternoon, and I am working with space-specific automation for that reason. However, this CQL didn't have the desired effect. This is how I built the rule:

Any suggestions on how I can tinker with this to try and make it work?
