Insert and assign tasks in a blog post?

Question

Was there a recent update that removed the ability to insert tasks into a blog post in Confluence? I was able to do so as recently as a few weeks ago but when I tried to create a blog post this morning the edit bar no longer provides the option to include a task in a blog post.

It appears that this functionality is no longer available, or there is a bug that is preventing it from being available to certain users. My permissions don't seem to have changed. Were tasks moved elsewhere? Do they require a separate macro?

What used to be available on blog posts:

What is available now:

Any insight here would be greatly appreciated! I use tasks on personal blog posts to track work in progress.

I'm not on the Cloud offering so I cannot test this, but are you able to create a task list on a regular page and then copy and paste it into a blog entry?

My understanding is it's temporary, based on "Some features are temporarily missing, but will be back soon!" There isn't an ETA, though, as you probably saw on the other thread.

Thanks, Ann - is this a temporary functionality change or is this going to be permanent? After reading through the post you linked to above it sounds like this is a temporary bug. Any estimate on when tasks will re-enabled on blog posts again? We use them for a number of project management tasks.

Thanks!
