Access database entry information in a page in an automation

[Jonathan Porta]

Hello all, 

I'm trying to reformat the title of a newly created page.

I have a database, which contains a link field, which allows user to create a direct child page linked to a new entry. As you know, this means that the title must be entered manually by the user and there could be collision issues...

I would like to rename a page (update the title) based on the content stored in the database entry block from the page.

Something like field1-field2 (field3)

As you can see the string computation will be the easy part, as the page title update as there is a native method in Confluence automation.

My issue is to access the fields from the database entry. The page properly shows them at the top, but I cannot find how to access them.

Do you know if there is any way to access the entry field value and put it in a smart value?

Thanks in advance.

Note: Again, with Confluence databases it seems that Atlassian provided a semi-cooked feature...

Unfortunately this is currently not possible, as Atlassian has not provided an API for databases.

So there is no way to access these values shown a on a page like it was possible for properties?

[marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-]

Indeed, there is no way currently.
