Change Page Status Automation Action Only Supports Single Space Scope – Documentation and Error Alerts Are Incorrect

XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      The documentation and error alerts for the "Change page status" automation action in Confluence are incorrect. The action only supports a 'single space' scope, but both the UI alerts and documentation are inaccurate.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create or edit an automation rule in Confluence.
      2. Set the rule’s Scope to ‘All Spaces’.
        • No statuses are displayed.
        • The alert shows:

          “We can’t run a rule relating to page status on a global scope. Select Rule details and change the Scope field to one or more spaces.
          We could not find the specified content statuses. Please try again.”

      3. Set the rule’s Scope to multiple spaces (but not all).
        • Statuses are displayed.
        • If you select a status, an alert shows:

          “This action can only be used with single space scope”

      Expected Results

      The UI and documentation should clearly state that the "Change page status" action is only supported for a single space. When using ‘All Spaces’ or multiple spaces, the UI should prevent selection and provide a clear, accurate message.

      Actual Results

      • With ‘All Spaces’ selected, no statuses are displayed, and the alert is misleading.
      • With multiple spaces selected, statuses are displayed, but selecting one triggers an alert that the action only works with a single space.
      • The documentation for Actions in Confluence automation incorrectly suggests that multiple spaces are supported once the scope is saved.

      Workaround

      Use a single space in the automation setting.
