Finding Confluence pages from Jira does not work for folders?

Question

We use Jira release versions to create a corresponding Confluence release notes page, and that has been working well for quite some time (1,2). 
However, in an effort to make the Confluence space a little easier to read, I converted the "root" release notes page we had into a Confluence folder page. Different icon in the page tree (3), and nice to avoid having an empty page just as root for subpages, but otherwise same functionality. 
Or so I thought....

I have just found out that this "folder page" cannot be found by Jira, when looking for a root to create a new Confluence page from releases under. This 'page-turned-into-folder'- entry simply does not show up in the dropdown anymore :(  (4)

Has anyone found a good workaround for this?

(at the moment, I'm forced to create the release notes page under a different root in Confluence page tree, and then manually move it to the correct place in the page tree, pretty annoying even though it does not take much time)

Not in a ticket perhaps, but that was not what I was trying either. 
For sure you can create Confluence pages from the Releases page in jira, just follow this tic-tac-toe below. 
My question was, why does a Confluence parent page that was later turned into a "folder pages" no longer show up in parent page dropdown (#4)? (It worked when it was a page, but not after I turned it into a "folder page")

Hi @Niklas Malmberg ,

for my knowledge you can't link a confluence folder in a Jira ticket. You can raise a ticket to require this feature...it could be useful for a lot of confluence user. Try to reach support using the following link  https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#
