: Place a single-row table inside the Page Properties macro, but create a nested table

The Page Properties + Page Properties Report combination is a hidden gem in Confluence. By structuring data across multiple child pages—each containing a Page Properties macro—you can generate a multi-row report that stays synchronized automatically. Add a new child page, and your report grows by one row. Edit a property on any child page, and the report updates instantly.

The simplest way to get multiple rows in a report without third-party apps is to use multiple Page Properties macros on your source page. How it works:

| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | No rows appear | Wrong label or parent page | Check label spelling; ensure child pages are descendants | | Columns missing or misaligned | Inconsistent property names | Use the exact same property names in every Page Properties macro | | Values not updating | Confluence cache | Refresh the page; clear browser cache | | Extra empty rows | Pages with the label but no Page Properties macro | Remove label from those pages |

Don’t force Confluence to be Excel. Instead, understand its page-based architecture and work with it – not against it. Once you master these patterns, you’ll build dynamic, multi-row dashboards that impress your team and simplify your workflows.
