Why is "Create from template" button creating a page in the space it was copied ?

Question

Situation: Here are the steps:

1. I created a space and saved it as a blueprint. This space has "Create from template" macro used in a lot of pages.

2. I created a new space based on this blueprint.

3. When I create a page clicking on "Create from template" button, it goes back to the blueprint space to create the new page, which ideally should be created in the current space.

Do you already have a solution for this problem?

Intended Solution: A "create from template" button should create a page in the space it is hosted and not in the space it was originally created in.

@Akriti Malla You can update the pages with the Confluence API. I'm not an expert at that, so I won't copy what Claude AI just gave me as I'm not 100% it's correct, but Rovo or another AI should help you use the API.

To avoid these problems in the future, you should avoid creating pages by duplicating existing pages. There is no native out of the box solution for this, so you will need to build something either following the tutorial Marc linked to, or setting up some sophisticated Confluence Automation rules.

Hi @Akriti Malla

To built a real blueprint, based on a documentation link I shared.

If you just built a space with pages as a template and copy this, the macro's used on pages will retain their original information.

Thanks, it looks right that the macro is still somehow connected to the blueprint page even though the space key is updated when a new space based on the blueprint is created. 
I tried to edit the macro, changed nothing, just opened the macro in edit mode and saved and closed. Then it started creating pages in the current space. Any ideas how to tackle this without having to manually open and edit macros on every new page in a new space? Thanks for your time.
