Unable to select Page Template for Page Link field in Confluence Database

[Elizabeth Chen]

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with the Page Link field in Confluence Database:

I want to configure the Page Link field in my database so that when users create a new page via this field, the new page automatically applies a specified Page Template.

According to official documentation and community discussions, the Page Link field should allow selecting and applying a Page Template.

However, in my workspace and in the Page Link field settings of the database, I cannot find any option to select a "Page Template" or set initial content. I can create a new page, but I am unable to specify or apply a template.

Is this feature fully released and available to all users, or limited to certain environments or versions?
Are there any additional configuration steps needed to enable the template selection option?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hey @Elizabeth Chen 

You should be able to go to the field settings for the Page link or Link field and select a template from the templates dropdown. Subsequent pages created in the database will contain the templates contents

Thank you for your reply!!!
But I realized I don't have that option on my side, is there a setting I might be missing?

I started out using the Page link field
but I realized that it only shows "no options"
I tried just adding the "... More " Create a "template"
but it still doesn't work!

Hey @Elizabeth Chen any user created templates in space settings or global templates should show up in the dropdown. We currently do not show any blueprint templates in the dropdown. Can you confirm that your space has user created and global templates?

I did create a template.

@Elizabeth Chen It looks like you created a template in the "Elizabeth Chen" space, but were then trying to use it in the page link field in a database in a different space. Since the template lives in the "Elizabeth Chen" space, it will not show up in other spaces. Does the template show up as an option when you use a database in the "Elizabeth Chen" space?

Oh my gosh!!! Thank you guys🤩🤩🤩🤩!
This was exactly my problem, I didn't realize that I needed to go to the space settings of the space in order to properly create the templates that can be used in that space, and now my problem is solved!
