Page template when creating it via WebDAV

[Pavel Chuyko]

Good day.

I create new pages via WebDAV.

This capability is great for my task !

When you create new pages via WebDAV, empty pages are created in Confluence.

How can I configure a specific template to be created ?

My question is similar to this: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-I-define-a-default-template-for-pages-created-from-WebDAV/qaq-p/1061703

Hello Pavel,

This is not possible in Confluence, as you can see by the reply I just left on the other thread: 

There was a feature request to be able to specify a default template, but the resolution was to be able to promote templates. This will not work when creating a page using WebDAV, as you can see by the 2nd link.

• CONFSERVER-3697 Allow default template to be specified

• CONFSERVER-35433 Creating a page with WEBDAV in a space with promoted blueprint doesn't work

As I mentioned to Yves, you can raise this as a feature request from jira.atlassian.com. If you end up doing that, please feel free to share the link to the request.

Thank you and take care,

Shannon
