      Summary

      When a page tree is moved to another space, some of the links between pages are broken

      Environment

      • Confluence Cloud

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create some pages. I.e. following the page tree below:
        Parent page
        ├─ Child page 1
        ├─ Child page 2
        │  └─ Child page 3
        └─ Child page 4
      1. Copy the links to all 4 child pages and insert them into the Parent page;
      2. Move the parent page to a different space

      Expected Results

      The links should change to point to their new location

      Actual Results

      In my first test, 2 of 3 links were broken,

      in a second test, all of the links were broken:

      Notes

      The broken links were changed from
      https://INSTANCE.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TS/pages/5505026/Child+page+1
      to
      https://INSTANCE.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=TS&title=Child+page+1

      Workaround

      first Workaround

      • Edit the copied page and correct the links.

      Second Workaround

      1. Create a copy of the page in the SAME space
      2. Use the in-page operation (*** ->  Move)to "Move" the page to the desired Space
