Problem Definition
Confluence does not provide a functionality which could allow attachments and child pages to inherit labels from its parent page. It could be useful for building RSS and Recently-Updated feeds.
Currently only one Marketplace plugin provides solution for labels inherited during the page creation but it does not maintain them: if the page is moved the labels will not be updated accordingly.
Suggested Solution
- It would be good to expand the present labeling system with:
- Parent-child relations
- Synonyms
- Inheritance
- And to develop a toolkit to maintain the existing labels.
Workaround
- Manually add the labels in the child pages
- Use one of the plugins available in the Atlassian Marketplace
- Create templates with the necessary labels assigned and create new pages using this template
