Bulk move nested macros

[Viet Le]

I'm currently in the middle of migrating from confluence server to confluence cloud. 

Since Atlassian removed the feature of nesting a macro within a 3rd party macro, I am left with 50+ macros nested in a 3rd party macro. For context, confiforms macros nested in a refined toolkit application. 

I have to essentially remove the 50+ confiforms macros from within the refined toolkit macro which is both time consuming and tedious. Not to mention that it messes with the formatting.

Does anyone know of a better way to un-nest this without drammatically messing up the format? I tried copy and pasting the confiforms macro outside of the refined toolkit app but that led to undesirable results and messy formatting.

This would be a job for scriptrunner.  

I would play around with Scriptrunner to find a way to recreate the pages so the macros are not nested, and then work on formatting the page so it is readable again.  I do not see a way to avoid throwing off the formatting.  I would expect this to take many hours if not days.

Or, I would export the entire site, create scripts in python, perl or your favorite scripting language to rewrite the pages, and import them to a new space that I would then test and use as my export source in the migration to the cloud.

There may be marketplace apps or partner-supplied tools for unnesting but I am not aware of one publicly available.
