Copying a page should also copy its restrictions

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      When a restricted page is copied, the created page is unrestricted. That is not what I would have expected as a user.

      There are various complicating factors to consider:

      • What if the user copying the page doesn't have "restrict page" permission? Are the restrictions removed on the new page in that case? Should the user be warned somehow?
      • What if the user copying the page doesn't have permissions to edit the original page? I would expect them to have them included in the restrictions automatically.

            l really like working with the confluence WIKI.

            I really would appreciate if there's a way to copy permissions of a page.

            Even during the copy process by ticking a checkbox or later on in the "Restricted page" administration.

            Thanks for any way doing this.
