Problem

Auto-start rules in Approval Path for Confluence start an approval only when a page is created or a label is added. A page moved to another space or under another parent where a rule applies (for example a condition ancestor = 123) gets no approval. The admin has to start it manually or through a bulk run.

Change

• The rule form has a new trigger "Page moved", off by default.

• Moving a page to a space or under a parent that matches the rule's scope and CQL condition runs the rule the same way as the other triggers.

• A move within the same space also counts (parent change).

• The approval initiator is the person who moved the page, with the same fallback user as for the other triggers.

• "Test on page" and the Run log show the "Page moved" trigger.

Out of scope

• Moving to trash, restoring from trash, copying a page.

• Approvals that already exist on the moved page (their space is updated as today).

Acceptance criteria

• A page moved to a space covered by a rule with the "Page moved" trigger gets an approval of the rule's definition.

• A page moved under a parent that matches the rule's ancestor condition gets an approval, also when the move stays within the same space.

• A rule without the "Page moved" trigger does not react to a move.

• A page that already has an in-progress or valid approval of the same definition does not get a second one.

• The approval initiator is the person who moved the page.

• The Run log records the decision with the "Page moved" trigger.
