Advanced: Combine with PTC Default Value macro
You are also able to combine the PTC Create Issue Automation macro with the PTC Default Value macro.
Note: You can use this functionality on following PTC Create Issue Automation macro fields:
Project Key
Issue Type ID
Summary
Linked Issue Key and Relationship
Add fields
Step 1: Add a PTC Create Issue Automation macro to your PTC Template or any Confluence page
Following the guide Create a Simple PTC Template
Step 2: Configure the PTC Create Issue Automation macro
Set placeholders for all fields.
Project Key → __Project Key__
Issuetype Id → __Issue Type__
Issue Summary → __Summary__
Step 3: Configure Pages with button (target page)
On the page where the PTC button is located (Create Pages or Create Space Button) insert a PTC Default Value macro for your placeholders (for example for __Project Key__).
Inside the macro body inset your default value (like you would use the PTC Default Value macro as normal)
For the project key placeholder you need to insert a valid project key e.g “TESTPRO”
For the issue type you need to insert a valid issue type Id e.g “10102”
in this case we insert the Project Key from our test project (“TESTPRO”)
Step 4: Instantiate your template with the PTC button
Now, you can see your previously selected project key, in the Replace Placeholder dialog.
The same applies to the issue type.
