            Sorry, tried the workaround but it did not work. Drop-down still empty. Moving from Server edition to Cloud is a huge step backwards.

            How hard would it be to just add the ability to enter "@self" in the Space field?

            There is a work around I discovered. If you create the mock up on a regular page, and cut and paste the macro into the template and save. It will work and create the pages normally wherever you put the parent page.
