Confluence Automation - Edit Page "Failed to save edited page."

Mike Jones_yhae2p

I'm trying to use Confluence automation to check for pages in my Space that have not been updated recently, and add the {{page.title}} to another page in the same Space in order to create a single page that is a report of pages that need to be reviewed.

I branch on inactive pages, then within the branch I check if the page status is 'Verified' and if it contains a specific label.  Then I use the Edit page action to modify a specific page with the title "Pages to be reviewed" and append the URL and title of the page that needs review using smart values.

It actually seems to work however, it sends me an email and there is an error in the audit log saying "Failed to save edited page."

Hi @Mike Jones -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Without seeing the specifics of your rule and the audit log details...

I hypothesize that because the rule branches over multiple pages and tries updating the same, specific page repeatedly, the updates are colliding and eventually causing an error.  (Branches over more than one thing run in parallel and asynchronously.)

And so possible workarounds instead of branching would be:

• Use Lookup Pages to find them and iterate to make one single update to the specific page.  As the lookup action cannot filter on the labels, you would need to add a conditional filter for that part.
• Use the Send Web Request action and the REST API to perform a CQL search, again making one single update to the tracking page from the web response

 

Kind regards,
