      Issue Summary

      Automation for Confluence smart values panel suggests unsupported page.dateLastPublished smart value. However the valid valid smart value is "page.dateLastUpdated" as per this doc.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. In a Confluence Cloud site, go to Space settings > Automation (or Global Automation) and create a new rule.
      2. Add a trigger that runs on a page (e.g. "Page updated" or "Scheduled" with a "For a set of pages" branch).
      3. Add a "Send email" or "Edit content" action and open the Smart values help panel / smart value suggestions.
      4. In the smart value suggestions, expand the page/content section and note that page.dateLastPublished is shown as an available smart value.
      5. Insert page.dateLastPublished into the email body or action field.
      6. Publish the rule and run it against a page that has been published and updated.
      7. Check the resulting email/body content for the value of page.dateLastPublished.

      Expected Results

      Only valid, implemented smart values are suggested in the Automation for Confluence smart values panel.
      If page.dateLastPublished is suggested, it should be:

      • documented as a supported smart value in public docs, and
      • populated with the expected date when used in a rule.

      Actual Results

      • The smart values panel suggests page.dateLastPublished as if it were a valid page date smart value.
      • When page.dateLastPublished is used in an automation rule (e.g. in an email body), it always renders empty.
      • There is no mention of page.dateLastPublished in the public Confluence automation smart values documentation, which only lists:
      • page.dateFirstPublished
      • page.dateLastUpdated
        as the supported page date smart values.

      Workaround

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