Issue Summary
Customer wants to be able to be able to select "Trigger page" while setting a new automation rule.
Currently, when the option on the space dropbox is set to "Same space as trigger", confluence does not allow any selection on the Parent Page section.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new automation rule;
- Select "When: Page Published" event;
- Add a new condition using CQL;
- Apply any filter;
- Add a new action "Then: Publish new page"
- On the Space section dropbox, select "Same space as trigger"
Expected Results
Customers would like to be able to determine that the parent page would be the page that triggered the automation rule.
Actual Results
When customers select "Same space as trigger", they are not able to determine any rules for the parent page.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available

- Gathering Interest
Was also looking for dynamic page creation under trigger or smart value page
Automation on Conf Page creation requires a set path, and this can't be set via smartID variable so that it sit under the page that triggered it
User Case 1
I currently have automations that trigger when a Jira ticket is created, if its summary ends with a specific text string, then a confluence page is created in a specific space
User Case 2
User Case 1 works well for most of the user cases, but there is also a need for a dynamic page tree not fixed, where that tree can be determined via another part of the string.
User Case 3
I have confluence pages that are forms to be completed.
What I was hoping to produce was using tasks/Actions and listening on when certain ones are checked, then create a page under it from a template
This failed on two accounts
1) The Task/Action IDs not being unique so it failed before it started, despite efforts to remake the tasks
2) The page would need to be created in a fixed place, not under the trigger page
The ugly workaround for this is the create page from template button, but this creates the page without the dynamic heading and you need to then publish the page and return back to the form
So not as clean and efficient as it could be.
User Case 4
When triggered a page is created under a fixed location (all good so far), but also child pages are created under it - essentially a tree template
Expand available Smart Values
Adding the ability to utilise Smart Values across more of Confluence would aid automation greatly.
Fields that should accept smart values but currently do not include:
