Confluence Cloud : what does "no parent" mean on copying pages

[chihara]

When copying pages on Confluence Cloud, we can specify target space and parent page.

But there are only 2 options in parent page, "Home" && "No parent".

What does "No parent" mean?

Thank you

I am experiencing the same issue and I am an administrator. We have many pages on sites, but it only give the option of home or no parent.  Not had any problems with this before so wonder if there is a bug?

Me and my team are experiencing the same, just started this morning.

Hi @chihara 

No parent means copied page will be created under Space home page and not added under another existing page. 

To know your Space home page, Go to Space settings -->Space details.

[chihara]

Strange.

If I choose "no parent" as target page,  Confluence Cloud copies that page under same parent page as origin.

[Rilwan Ahmed]

"Test Space" is the only parent page in your space. 

[chihara]

No.

There are some pages in this space for test.

@chihara 
can you please share the screenshot of the page tree. And also as @Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_ mentioned, please check if you have access to other pages which you expect to be seen in the list. 

[chihara]

As I described, I have full permissions for this test space.

Can you see page list in target page on copy operation in Confluence Cloud?

There are only 2 targets "Home" and "no parent" at our Confluence Cloud.

Hi @chihara 👋

I've been scouting around to see if I can find a mention of 'no parent' for you and there's nothing.

Should there be more options when you're trying to specify your parent page? If so, the first suggestion would be to check the permissions, the below is a snippet from the Atlassian Support Document - Move, copy, and hide pages.

To move or copy a page into a different space, you also need:

• Delete permission on the space you're moving from.
• Create permission on the space you're moving or copying to.

If the page has restrictions, and you want to keep the page restrictions in the new location, you'll also need Restrict permission in the space you're moving to.

Let me know if this helps and if you have any other questions in the meantime just ask away 😃

All the best,

Laura

I have full permisson for that space.
