Environment

  • All supported Confluence and Linking add-on versions

Diagnostics Steps

N/A

Cause

There is a user macro named outgoing-links and it is conflicting with the outgoing-links from the Linking app.

Workaround

 N/A

Resolution

By default, users cannot create a user macro with the same name of an existing macro. However, older versions of Confluence do allow you to create a user macro and then install an add-on that contains the same name of the created user macro.

For example, a user macro named outgoing-links was created. Then, the Linking app was installed, which also has a macro named outgoing-links. Thus now there are two macros with the same name. 

This is fixed by renaming the user macro with a unique name.
