• copySpace: Creates a new space and copies pages to the new space. Other information can be copied as well based on other parameters. By default, find replace logic applies only to content. To also apply find replace logic to the title, use --options applyFindReplaceOnTitles.
• space: Space key. For some actions, a space name may also work.
• newSpace: New space key for copied or moved page.
• name: Space name or file name for attachment.
• description: Descriptive text.
• copyBlogs: Copy blogs when copying a space.
• copyAttachments: Copy attachments when copying a page.
• copyLabels: Copy labels when copying a page or space.
• copyComments: Copy comments when copying a page
• copyPermissions: Copy permissions when copying a page or space. Source permissions replace existing target permissions. Note Confluence page permissions are really done as restrictions.
• continue: Continue processing even after errors are encountered for run actions. Also used for some action to ignore certain errors like not found errors on remove actions.
