If you add an attachment in Confluence and this file contains a ampersand in it's name it will fail to open.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Add two attachments in a Confluence Page.
- Click in Tools > Attachments.
- Click on Edit in office for "v and p.xlsx"
- The file will open accordingly.
- Now try the same with "v&p.xlsx".
- Once you Click "Ok" you will get the following:
Work Around:
Rename the attachment and use Source Editor Plugin so you can find the "&" and replace it for and or a blank space so the markups can get properly updated.
Make a copy of the page for recovery purpose.
Additional notes:
You will see below error reflecting into the logs:
