Reference parts of pages on another page
Asked by Aaron Mina:

Hello,

I am looking to reference one page on another, and I tried the excerpt route and it wasn't what I was looking for.

User Story:  
I have main project pages; Project 1, Project 2, Project 3, .... Within the structure of these projects, I have child pages to support the parent; Testing, Troubleshooting, ... I have a Troubleshooting page that is meant to be the Master Troubleshooting page where it is a one stop page to go to when an issue arises we can go to to find out which main project it belongs to.

Hierarchy of pages:  
1. Project 1  
a. Testing Plan  
b. Troubleshooting Steps  
c. ....  
2. Project 2  
a. Testing Plan  
b. Troubleshooting Steps  
c. ....  
....  
18. Troubleshooting Guide

So my intended outcome for this is to have 18. Troubleshooting Guide have a list of the Project's issues so I don't have to keep the issues updated in multiple spots. When an issue and their troubleshooting steps gets added to one of the projects it will flow over to my master (18) Troubleshooting Guide in a nicely formatted way; where the Project 1 is a heading and the table with the issues is under it.

If there is any way to do this, please let me know.

Thank you

If you can add the date on each source page as key-values in a table, then it could be collated using the report macro 18. Troubleshooting Guide.

The [MultiExcerpt app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/169/multiexcerpt?hosting=server&tab=overview) may have more of the functionality you're looking for.

Good luck!

I see that this is a paid for app. Is there any free apps or alternative ways to do this?

Thank you,

I don't know of any other way off the top of my head, but you can test the app before buying it. You may find it's worth the cost. Let us know if you find another way to get this done.

I will have to bring it up with the company before making that decision or going down this path.

I am looking through the marketplace to see if I can't find an alternative. But if I am able to test this out and it does what I am looking for, as the video shows it might be, then I will mark this as answered.

Thank you,  
Aaron

The solution that [@Bill Bailey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502089) suggested is the route we are going, but this solution might be something another team will be looking at for something they are doing. They say thank you as well as me for taking the time to help us out!

Thank you,
