Problem

When I copy a page in Confluence, I lose the attached metadata or it is not complete.

Behavior


Excerpt

You will be able to copy a page with attached metadata even if the metadata configuration in the target space doesn't match. If the metadata configuration doesn't match, sets/fields that are not configured correctly in the target space will be lost on the new page when copying.

The warnings you get for mismatched metadata differ slightly depending on

  • Confluence version
  • whether collaborative editing is active or not
  • whether you are copying only one page or a page with child pages

Metadata will not ignore administrative permissions, this means the add-on does not automatically create new metadata in the target space.


Solution

Make sure that the metadata configuration in the target space matches that of the original space. Alternatively, you can add missing metadata after copying the page.

You may use the Bulk Change or  or Export/Import options  options to add missing metadata.

Note

You will need admin permissions to create metadata, perform a bulk change or use export/import.
