I cannot add the Table of Contents Macro to a Confluence template I'm making

Kathy Hart

I'm using Confluence Cloud. I am creating my own Space Template and want to add the Table of Contents Macro to the Template. When I select the Table of Contents from the Macro list nothing happens. The view just goes back to the page edit screen and nothing is entered on the page. It does not pull up a wizard or macro edit screen. 

Just nothing. 

The documentation seems to indicate that this macro can be added to a template, so what is the problem?

There is a suggested workaround. 

Suggested workaround for those facing this issue.

1. Create a new Blank page in any space.
2. Create and configure the Macro you need for your template in this new page.
3. Copy the macro and paste into the Edit or Create template page.

It's not pretty, but it works.

You cannot edit it once it has been pasted in to the template so you need to get it just right before pasting it in.

 

It ain't great, but it does work.
