Issue Summary

The new API feature to update drafts of pages with change Confluence Cloud changelog should allow the ability to Update the Status of a page from ‘Current’ to ‘Draft’, this information can be found here - The Confluence Cloud REST API :

The new version of the updated page. Set this to the current version number plus one, unless you are updating the status to 'draft' which requires a version number of 1.

So going by the documentation, it should allow the Current published page to update to Draft status, though instead, it is making a copy of the current page as a Draft.

Another issue is, the payload that is sent that changes the Title, Body etc of the page is updated with a 200 response and the body returned is correct. Then when going to the actual UI you first see the correct name of the updated draft:

Though clicking through takes you to the draft page with the ‘Current’ content (note: the updated content from the API call is shown for ~.2 secs then reverts to original):

Steps to Reproduce

1. Make a PUT call on endpoint /wiki/api/v2/pages/{id} where {{ {id}

   }} is a published page

2. In the body of the request, make sure the version number is 1 and status is ‘draft’
3. Check UI to see the above in action

Expected Results

The published page becomes a draft with the new content provided in the API call

Actual Results

The published page is Duplicated to a draft and once opened, contains the original, un-updated content. Also, this draft page can not be deleted.

Workaround

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