Page Properties Report including a sub Page Properties Report has stopped working
Asked by James Spottiswoode:

I have set up two level of pages with Page Properties on each, with one of the top level page properties being a Page Properties Report of the related lower level pages. So the end result, when looking at a Page Properties Report of the top level pages, was to show an 'embedded' Page Properties Report as one of the columns.  

This was working really well, giving us excellent 'roll up summary' functionality, but as of today, it has stopped working. Any idea as to why?  

I have played around and can still embed other macros in Page Properties and they show in the Page Properties Report.

I have also tried recreating each level from scratch as a simple case, to see if I had broken it with some property change, but it still doesn't work, even in that simple use case.

As I understand, a "double nested" Page Properties Report Macro is not rendered as expected.

By double nested, I mean a Page Properties Macro that has another Page Properties macro inside it.

I was able to nest a single Page Properties Report macro within another Page Properties macro. Here is what it looks like:

When I try to show the Page Properties macro that contains the Page Properties Report macro, the behavior you described is present:

Looking at the macro documentation it is not disclaimed if the nesting of Page Properties Report is present:
> * [++***\[Confluence Cloud\] Insert the page properties report macro***++](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-report-macro/)

Currently, we do have a standing report that aims at the problems with Macro Nesting:

> * [++***\[Confluence Cloud\] Nest Expand or other Bodied Macros in another Macro***++](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-68323)

I have also raised this request a couple of months ago:
> * [++***\[Confluence Cloud\] Create Confluence documentation about macro nesting to improve customer experience***++](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-69922)

Currently, there is no guarantee that the nesting of macros works and if it works, how many levels of nesting are available.

Let us hear from you!
