    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      I use the Create from Template Macro extensively - especially for the creation of meeting minutes that relate to specific projects or project groups.

      The only difference between the minutes document would be the labels I would want to associate with the minutes (different projects would have different labels, which will then allow me to easily track and aggregate the meeting records). The creation of a separate template for each label feels wasteful and convoluted, as well as being an administrative overhead, as regular users cannot create templates that can be accessed by other users.

      On the other hand, users can add the Create from Template Macro button to any Confluence page they author or edit, and having labels generated automatically once a record is created - based on a configuration in the Macro itself will provide:

      1. Flexibility (creating a variation in the same template by allowing it to be created with different labels).
      2. Prevention of mistakes and missed information - Currently I need to put in the label (sometimes multiple labels) after the document is saved. I may forget to do it, and so the document may fail to appear where it is supposed to because of the missing label.

      Thanks,

      Daniel.
