Link icon inconsistency

[Rachel Peterson]

I'm pasting a table into a page and it has a large number of links.  All links are to other pages in the same Confluence space.  All links are formatted/created the same way in the source file.  

When I paste it in, some links have this icon next to them and some don't.  For the life of me, I can't figure out why.  I don't care if they all have it or none of them have it, but I'd love for it to be the same on all of them.  Any ideas?

I think, that the "URL format" of the links are actually different. The one that get the icon are correctly recognized as Confluence pages, while the one without any icon is "just a link" for Confluence.

Isn't this possible that the one without any icon is copied from "Edit page" mode, or when you view the "Page properties" screen or something? Just have a look at the URLs and compare two!

Hi @Rachel Peterson 

Could it be that the links with the icon are Confluence pages and the links without the icon are web links?

[Rachel Peterson]

So when I paste them in and edit the links, they're all the full URL:

https://<DOMAIN>.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DS/pages/<#####>

After I save and some of them get the icons, I edit the page and the ones with the icons have automatically adjusted themselves to the shorted version:

/wiki/spaces/DS/pages/<#####>

While the other ones remain as the full URL.  

Something in the system is causing it to auto-edit some of the URLs but not all of them and that's what I'm hoping to get to the bottom of.

Where are you pasting the table from?

[Rachel Peterson]

Excel.  I cleared the table entire and re-pasted.  I checked all of the links before the initial save and they all looked the same.  Just regular URLs.  

Then I save, some of them get icons, I edit, and some of them have changed to the shortened version of the URL.
