This article explains usage of copySpace action using the Confluence Command Line Interface. 

Instructions

...

• 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.
• findReplace: Successively find and replace matching text with the find and replace values specified using find:replace syntax. The first colon (:) delineates the find value from the replace value. Single quote values containing a color and then escape embedded quotes. Deprecated use is a comma separated list of the same. Recommend using multiple parameters instead. The deprecated use case is only valid when the multiple parameter feature is not being used.
• 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.

        
For this example,ensure that there is an existing space that has labels, attachments, blogs, comments and permissions to the page(s).
