Create new meeting note in hierarchy

Question

I have used the "create from template" macro/button on our main page to create new meeting notes from a blueprint template. I need the new meeting note to appear in the hierarchy with other meeting notes, not at the top level of the hierarchy. See the attached screenshot. Any ideas how to change the default location so that it's nested 1 level down with the other ones?

Create a meeting note page while being on the parent page under which you want to arrange all your meeting note pages. By default, Confluence arranges the pages as children of the page on which you were when creating a new page (or page from blueprint template).

The meeting note pages that are one level up seem to have been created from parent's parent.

* Parent's Parent* Meeting Notes Parent (<-- Create meeting notes pages while you are on this page)* Meeting Note 1 (<-- This was created when being on Meeting Notes Parent)
* Meeting Note 2 (<-- This was created when being on Meeting Notes Parent)

* Meeting note 3 (<-- This was created when being on Parent's Parent)

Does this help?

Cheers,

Bhakti

Hi Paula,

there's a slightly easier manual way: set the location of the page-to-be-created before saving (through location icon at the top, in edit mode). You could hint users to do that through the instructional text in the template.

Another approach: set another target space in the create from template macro, so that all meeting notes end up in the same location without manual work. Then you could add a link to that space in the sidebar, so that meeting notes are found, despite being in a separate "Meeting note" space.

I can't think of another easy way, though there may be better solutions.

Best, Henning

Thanks, I was hoping to not have to re-order every time. I want them to originate in the correct place.
