Can't load the Edit Content mode due to duplicated Field Group macros

Can't load the Edit Content mode due to duplicated Field Group macros

 

Summary

Can't load Edit Content mode due to duplicate Field Group macros.

The following error message appears when attempting to enter Edit Content mode:

 

Environment

  • Confluence Cloud

  • Scaffolding

 

Diagnostics Steps

Not applicable.

Cause

This issue happens when the page contains multiple Scaffolding - Field Group macros with duplicate Field Group name parameters, often resulting from copying and pasting Field Group macros.

Having multiple Field Group macros on the same page is allowed only if each has a unique Field Group name. Duplicate Field Group names prevent Editing Content mode from opening.

Copying a Field Group macro copies all the macro and field parameters, including the macro name and field names.

We are currently working on improvements to support the copying and pasting of Field Group macros.

 

Workaround

Not applicable.

Resolution

If the page does not contain Live Template macros:

  1. Оpen the page in edit mode.

  2. Remove the duplicate Field Group macros that were copied and pasted.

If the page contains Live Template macros:

  1. Locate the source page or template that the Live Template macro is referring to.

  2. Open this page or template in edit mode.

  3. Remove the duplicate Field Group macros that were copied and pasted.

Best practice on adding multiple input fields and Table fields on a single page

Add multiple input fields and Table fields inside a single Field Group macro instead of having multiple Field Group macros on the same page.
