Is there a way to get Table of Contents macro to recognise text within a Header Row

[Dan Billingham]

I am looking to see if there is a way to make the Table of Contents Macro recognise text that is in a header row. 

Current workaround is either putting text above the box (which does not look great so have disguised it white) or removing the row as a header (which then makes the form we use difficult to navigate and it removes the "freeze pane" look from being a header).

Hope this all makes sense : )

@Dan Billingham Welcome to Confluence!

What you are asking makes sense. Can you post a screenshot so I can better understand the issue? Is the Header Row part of a table you have on the page? If so, what Heading Level have you formatted the Header as the heading type you want?

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Bit of a hard one to show via screenshot but basically when using the table options and have the "header row" ticked the table of contents macro will recognise it as something to be included, but the link part of it will not work. If you then untick the "header row" option the link part then works. 

Have attached a screenshot but again not sure if it provides any help.

@Dan Billingham your screenshot certainly did help! I was able to replicate this in my test instance. And lo and behold, I experienced the same behavior you have seen.

After searching a bit more, I have found that this bug has been reported. You can upvote it here:

Sorry I could not help resolve your issue, but I learned in the process!
