Confluence Database Import with Entry Link / Entry Details

[Petter Topp]

I would like to import data into a database that uses Entry Link and Entry Details to populate certain fields.

If I try to import data from csv, these Entry fields can't be assigned to a csv field.

Is this this by design?

Workaround?

Hi Petter,

Try utilizing the REST API or a custom script, you can programmatically handle imports, validate and fetch IDs for linked entries, and assign relational data during the import process.

For instance, you can use Python with REST API libraries and give a try.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Thanks for your reply Humashankar.

I have never used the Atlassian / Confluence REST API, could you point to some getting started demos / examples?
