Page Properties Macro Help

Question

I have a parent page [A]

Under Parent I am calling for page properties of my child pages

In the child pages I have the page properties and tables everything is pulling through properly except for a table excerpt macro I am trying to use

On the child pages I have the following page properties: I have a table excerpt and a list of statuses for approvals

Under that I have a chart from table and am using the table excerpt from above.

Under that everything pulls together perfectly

Then on my parent page when I am using the page properties macro somehow the chart is not pulling through correctly.

When I click edit and go into the page properties macro the preview is correct

I have published and saved everything and refreshed multiple times. Not sure how to get the chart to pull through correctly

Hi @Jennifer Perry ,

The issue likely comes from using nested macros inside the native Page Properties Report, which doesn’t fully support dynamic content like charts.

A more flexible approach is to use Table Excerpt + Table Excerpt Include, or even try an app like Simple Table (free), which is designed to handle tables with calculations, nested fields, and charts—no macro limitations.

Let me know if you need help testing it.

Hi @Jennifer Perry ,

As you've mentioned the Table Excerpt and Chart from Table macros, it means that you use our Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence app.

But the Page Properties/Page Properties Report macros are native and they are not supposed to work with other nested macros.

So, you can take another pair of the Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros instead of the Page Properties/Page Properties Report.

The Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include work pretty similar and allow you to collect tables from child pages, from all descendants, and from pages with specific labels. They also support nested macros, so your result report is supposed to look good.
