      Issue Summary

      The Public Links feature came as an alternative for the good and old Anonymous Access we have in Confluence, opening our usability of Confluence more dynamic.
      Though, it seems that when we are enabling/disabling this feature on our pages, it is not getting logged correctly in the Audit Log, letting the order of the actions in the wrong sequence, date, and time.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to the Confluence settings and make sure that the Public links feature is enabled;
      2. Navigate to a page;
      3. In the top-right corner, click over the Share button;
      4. Mark the toggle button to make the page publicly shared;
      5. After the toggle gets green, disable it;
      6. Navigate to the Confluence Audit Logs and observe the latest log at the top of the list.

      Expected Results

      The first even, from top to bottom, is the Public Links page settings disabled one, and the second one is the Public Links page settings enabled.

      Actual Results

      The logs are not there.

      Notes

      • For some times, the event in the audit log is not even registered;
      • The logs get registered to a day before - you can find then by searching for "public", in the audit log;
      • The first log that gets registered is the disabled one, and then the enabled one, which doesn't make sense;
      • Eventually, after enabling/disabling it on different pages, the logs get registered on the correct day, but in different order and time.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
