Issue Summary
When a Confluence page is added as a Smart Link inside a Confluence Database row, clicking the link is expected to open a page preview in the right-hand side panel.
However, when the smart link is created using a “pretty link” URL, the preview is not generated. Instead, the UI shows the following error message:
“We couldn't find what you're looking for.
We looked everywhere, but it doesn't exist. It may have been deleted. Unless, of course, the URL has a typo in it 😉”
In the browser console, the following error is observed:
Space key is undefined
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Confluence Databases.
- Create or open a database.
- Add a row and insert a smart link to a Confluence page using a pretty URL (e.g., https://site.atlassian.net/wiki/x/FgCdbz-Uk3Q)
- Click on the smart link.
Expected Results
Clicking the smart link should open a preview of the Confluence page in the right-side panel, regardless of whether the link is a pretty URL or the standard URL format.
Actual Results
The preview fails to load and the UI shows:
“We couldn't find what you're looking for…”
Console logs show the error:
Space key is undefined.
Workaround
- Use the standard Confluence page URL containing the spaceKey instead of the pretty link.
- Hover over the smart link and use "Open Preview" option to see the page preview
