Labels on Templates

Question

We've got 2 templates that I require my technicians to use.  How-To and Troubleshooting.

The problem is that when they create the articles, it adds a label that we don't want on the article "kb-how-to-article".

I've tried editing the template but there's no where shown how to edit/remove that label from the template.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

AFAIK on creation of a new page with a blueprint the index-key of the blueprint is added as a label to the new page. This label is used to populate the index pages.

See https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-blueprints/:

It essentially relies on Confluence labels to be applied to the pages created via Blueprints, which is specified by the index-key attribute on the blueprint module.

I do not know of a way to suppress this.

This is how the index-key is defined in the atlassian-plugin.xml:

(example also taken from https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-blueprints/)

There is surely a way to change the name of the label so that it may better suits your requirements. But I am not aware of a plugin that does this for you.

Hey,

If you are using Confluence Server, you should see labels in templates from Confluence Administration > General Configuration > Global Templates and Blueprints

Edit the template you want and you should see labels above template title
