Databases - Page Details Field stopped working as of today (Sep 11th)

[Debicka, Katie]

Hello, we got a Confluence Database in place where we store information on our documents. Suddenly, the Page Details Field, that should be displaying Excerpt detail from the Page Link Field (another Confluence page with Excerpt embedded), stopped displaying the said detail. 

It was working fine until today, there's been no changes to the DB structure or page details that could have triggered that. Is this related to the search incident that is currently going on, or is this a separate issue? Has anyone else experienced this? Normally we would see a hyperlink where the grey bar is now showing.

I found the issue - Pages that stopped displaying links got Labels added overnight. It appears the presence of Labels resulted in Pages becoming unavailable for selection as Page Link, and so the Details field was also not populating. Upon removing Labels from the Pages, details started populating back. We will be reporting it as a bug.

Hi @Debicka, Katie 

Just checked my database... all Page Details fields are displaying the details as expected.

Thank you for checking @Kristian Klima

It seems it's in fact an issue with the Page Link field itself - all of the sudden only a very limited number of page suggestions is coming up in this field after typing a part of the page name, and for those that do, the Page Details is working fine. The ASA - PMO Playbook is no different to the other pages, yet it is not coming up as suggestion even after typing in the whole page name. When link is pasted manually, the page does come up for selection in the Page Links field, but the Page Details is not displaying properly.

Our use-cases may be different but there's a way to get all the pages into your DB (new pages must be added manually).

There's a free app that does display some of the page details - Pages Manager by Ricksoft, and a beta of Panorama by Kolekti.
