Unable to set page title when using Create From Template button

skorens

I have used the 'Create For Template' macro with many different versions of Confluence by Atlassian over the years. The current version I am using (Confluence 1000.0.0-3b5cce86290) via the Cloud doesn't seem to work. I've created both a user and global template. I've formatted the template the way I wanted. Then, on a separate page, I have insert a 'Create from Template' macro button pointing at one of my templates. In the "Title of page to be created" field of the macro, I have set "Status-@currentDate" and then saved the macro and the page.

When I navigate to that page and click the button, a page is generated from my template, however, it does not have a title. Nothing I have tried works. Even setting a title without an @ variable doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Steve

@Deborah Hosking,

Thank you for contacting us about this. The bug has since been resolved, and so you shouldn't still be encountering the issue.

I've tested this on my own instance, and I can confirm that the title I specify in the Create from Template macro is the one being used:

Are you filling in that parameter, or is the expectation that the title of the template will be the new page's title?

Shannon
