Limitation for Live Template in Confluence Cloud

Summary

Confluence Server supports the Live Template macro with various template types.

However, the Live Template macro in Cloud supports different template types. Therefore, migration of Live Template to Cloud may be limited.

This document highlights the limitations and differences.

Environment

  • Confluence Cloud

  • Scaffolding Forms and Templates for Confluence Cloud

Cause

Due to differences of the macros and limitations in Cloud, Live Template macros in Cloud can only accept some of the template types used in Live Template macros in Server.

Workaround

A workaround for Global Template migration is available in the Resolution section below.
