Create Confluence Blueprint in forge

Is there an equivalent to https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/multi-page-blueprints-with-confluence-connect/ when working in forge ?
I couldn’t find a confluence (forge) module for this.

@JakobRenner I believe this is a planned feature on the Forge roadmap: Jira

You can vote/comment on this FRGE ticket with your particular use case to help the product team prioritise this accordingly

Hi @JakobRenner, while there is no direct support of Blueprints in Forge, the alternative to it would be using Template REST API to create templates instead.

Thanks for the tipp, I have tried the API and creating templates works, but what I haven’t figured out is how to create a new Page from a template with the API. Is that possible ?

I’m not sure if this is the recommended approach, but I know this works

  1. load the template content
  2. create a page using the template content as body
  3. navigate the user to the new page in edit mode

Unfortunately, the navigation only works for pages in status “current” and not “draft”, i.e. in step 2. you can’t create a draft.

If you want to modify the template between step 1. and 2. it might be easier to use ADF format (load with “body.atlas_doc_format” and save with “representation”: “atlas_doc_format”)

Just saying.

The idea of page / space / project blueprints was great and i really miss this on Cloud. It’s usually not the feature that makes sense as a commercial Marketplace app because “templates” are individual to each environment and the adoption for in-house development might be higher then public apps.

If you’re interested in having blueprints supported in Forge, please vote/comment to the ticket linked above. It’s still under consideration, so the more interest it gets, the more chance it’ll be eventually implemented.

As @SreejaGupta mentioned, it’ll be particularly useful if you describe your use-case for the feature.
