global template with attachments

[mock jira]

Hello,

My scenario is that everytime I create a page out of the global page template there is always a brand new attachment like a Microsoft word template that needs to be filled up.

The atlassian support says that it is a requested feature, https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-8892 , Is there anyone who have successfully created a work around?

Thanks

Well, using annotated listener you can get an event when a page is created. Then you can figure out if that page suffices your requirements and add an attachment if so.

Event Listener: https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/confluence-plugin-guide/confluence-plugin-module-types/event-listener-module/annotation-based-event-listener-example

For creating attachment on a page, you can see the AttachmentManager api, or add a comment so i provide you code in a comment
