Saving a template is refused with 'Failed to save markdown, missing title' or '...missing data'
What you are seeing
Saving a template is refused with 'Failed to save markdown, missing title' or '...missing data'.
#Why it happens
Library templates need both a title and some content. If either one is empty, the save is refused.
#What to do
Fill in both the title and the content, then save again.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Global settings → Permissions | - | Controls edit access to the GLOBAL asset store. Which is what governs who may create Global markdown templates. It is shared with diagrams, images, calendar and search because they all use one Confluence custom content t |
Global settings → Migration | - | Markdown is not on the tab's exclusion list, so the tab ships. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Library import truncation | Title 128 characters, description 250 characters | Dragging page-owned markdown into the template library silently shortens the copied title and description. |
New templates appearing in the library | Can take several seconds | After you create a template, the library waits for it to show up in the Confluence listing, so a new template can take several seconds to appear. |
