      From David Peterson on conf-user:

      "It would be nice if you had the option of Copying rather than moving (including child pages and attachments, probably not comments though).

      "In my case, copying would be useful because I have several spaces which are viewable to different groups of people, but are given the same piece of information at different times. I am a teacher at a high school, so I have one private space where I prepare my assignments, and then each class has it's own space. Often, I reuse assignments between several classes (albeit usually with some small adjustments), however they are usually doing them at different times. It would be good to be able to copy my original page (including attachments and child pages) into the particular class' Space, instead of editing the original, copying the text, pasting it into a new page in the Class's Space, then saving the attachments locally and re-uploading them, and then doing the same for any child pages. It gets slightly annoying after the 5th (or 50th) time..."

            [CONFSERVER-5970] Copy page including attachments

            Andreas van Rienen added a comment - - edited

            It seems that either this ticket here or CONF-24678 were erroneously closed as "duplicates".

            IMHO CONF-24678 describes a bug while copying one (!) individual page (with attachements). Changing the location while copying results in all attachments being lost during the process of copying. Copying the very same page without changing the location works as intended.

            This ticket here (CONF-5970) as well as CONF-2814 relates to copying whole page hierarchies (with or without attachments or comments). Whereas the difference may seem subtle, it is critical to one of the clients I am working with.

            May I please request then for CONF-24678 to be reopened and adressed in due course?

            Implicitly then, CONF-24678 "blocks" CONF-2814 as it is a prerequisite for the whole process to work.

            This is really a duplicate of CONF-2814.
            CONF-2814 talks about copying a hierarchy of pages but it really needs to include the attachments as well for it to be useful (e.g. pages refer to images, etc)

            Confluence 2.7.3 implements the capability of copying a page with its attachments.

            This is critical for use in my shop as well.

            Is there any news on this functionality?

            This would be nice, too. This is one of a set of features that Confluence is missing around refactoring content.

            Renaming to reclass this issue as the "copy-with-attachments" issue. Will create a separate issue for copy page hierarchy and link it here.
