Note: If you have updated from version 7.0 to version 8.0, the page Migration to Version 8 contains a troubleshooting chapter that might be of use.

Version 8.7.0 - Feature Release

REST API update

REST endpoint for placeholder search GET instantiations/placeholders/{sourcePageId} is deprecated. It is still usable as before but it could throw an error if the query parameters are too long.

New REST endpoint POST instantiations/placeholderSearch/{sourcePageId} and now all query parameters are inside the body.

Please have a look at following page for more information: REST API

Compatibility with Jira Cloud

PTC Create Issue Automation Macro is now compatible with Jira Cloud. However only one Jira instance at the time is supported.

Combine PTC Create Issue Automation and Placeholder info

It is now possible to add Placeholder info to each Jira field. Simply add a PTC Placeholder macro for the desired Jira field Placeholder. Placeholders for project, issue type and summary can also be combined with a Placeholder macro. There is no need to select a specific type in the Placeholder macro as it will be overwritten by the Jira configuration.

Version 8.6.6 - Feature Release

Date calculation

  • Use it in combination with the PTC placeholder macro.

  • Calculate dates in the page title

Version 8.0.0 - Major Release

With this major release we merged the Page Tree Creator and Space Tree Creator into one product. The Space Tree Creator is now the Page Tree Creator and the Page Tree Creator becomes the Page Tree Creator Pro.

We also moved the template configuration completely to a Confluence macro based approach.

And last but not least, we overhauled and consolidated big parts of the architecture.

The main benefits are:

  • You only need one app instead of two and create pages and spaces from a single app

  • Consistent functionality across use cases

  • Simplified development, build and release management for shorter release cycles

  • And with a view to the future, this serves as preparation for the migration path to the cloud

Important: Such a major release requires some fundamental changes on the technical side. To prepare your Confluence instance and avoid any trouble, be sure to read and understand the Installation and Migration chapter.
