- Option to automatically link fields of a confluence table to information in a jira ticket, similarly to how it's done with SQL. E.G. if a column/ticket of data's summary is "Game Title #1" you can select the matching column/description within it, and return it in the target column/confluence table cell.
- Add default confluence templates to Create Page confluence(Template selection) within the Automation for Jira
- With Jira automations "Create page in Confluence" action, we can currently use smart values in the title only. Please allow the option to pass on smart values to the page template that's been selected.
- A4J doesn't support Confluence Templates with variables set.
Workaround for using Confluence Global Template in Jira automation:
Creating a new space to copy the global templates:
Under your Confluence, you will access some space where your users have access:
- Create a space called Global Templates;
- Click on Space Settings > Templates > Create new template;
- Copy all the items under the template that you want to use to this new template, give a name, and save it;
After this, under your Jira Automation, you can select the Global Templates under space and use the templates that you added to this space.
Creating Confluence page through REST API
Another way to create a confluence page using Jira automation is by using the Confluence REST API and sending a web request through the automation. The following link will explain how to achieve that:

[AUTO-1768] Improve Create Confluence Page action in A4J - templates, add body editor & ability to pass Jira smart values to Confluence page template, e.g. to support "Create Release Notes in Confluence" use case, ability to link Jira fields to Confluence table
447cf3541ce3 1bea10df5538 381ce7616ebe Hi folks! Is this open feature request what you're after, re. being able to use automation smart values in a Confluence template?
Yeah, sorry eef7730bae2f but I agree with 447cf3541ce3 that this Suggestion should be re-opened because you have not resolved all of the requested functionality. Being able to apply smart values just to the page title isn't sufficient - we need to be able to apply them to parts of the body in the template when it creates that instance of the new Confluence page.
So my template could be "Discovery Squad Notes" and in the body of the template it has smart value placeholders for "Product Manager" and "Delivery Estimate" and other fields on my Jira Product Discovery Idea tickets that should be copied over into the new Confluence page that gets created from the automation.
I totally agree with 447cf3541ce3. It would be very useful to be able to populate Confluence Template variables with Jira Smart values.

Hi eef7730bae2f, that's great that the "Publish New Page" action allows us to select a template. However what we really need is the ability to set template variables from an automation.
If my template page has variables `var1` and `var2` in the page body, then when I select that template from my automation, there should be a spot where I can set those variables using `smart values` from my automation. Currently it just says "The page will have content from your selected template".
Is this something we can expect to see in the future? The ability to set template variables from a jira or confluence automation?
I don't think this issue should be closed unless that ability is present.

With the launch of the new 'Publish New Page in Confluence' action, customers can now select templates and configure the page body. We have also included rich text editing in the page body configuration.

89403358cf11 Yes that describes it perfectly, thanks for sharing!
This issue here made several different suggestions, some of which have now been implemented and some of which have not. Obviously this one has been closed now and it seems it's unlikely to be reopened, so probably best for us all to go and watch and vote on CONFCLOUD-82251 seeing as it is focussed on just the smart value -> template page feature that we need!
