Create page from template save location

Question

On SharePoint Online we added a new content type to site pages that creates a new page from template. This allows us to choose a template to create the new page. We are using the following url in the content type /_layouts/15/CreatePageFromTemplate.aspx.

To use this, we navigate to the required folder and create the page from the New menu by selecting the content type. In the example below we navigating to meeting minutes. The problem is when the page is saved it always saves to the root of site pages. Is there a parameter or other method to have the new page save in the current folder? thank-you

Hi @Aviso Admin ,

You can modify the URL of the content type that creates the new page from the template. You can add a parameter called RootFolder that specifies the folder where you want to save the page. For example, if you want to save the page in a folder called Meeting Minutes, you can use this URL: /_layouts/15/CreatePageFromTemplate.aspx?RootFolder=/SitePages/Meeting%20Minutes.

Hi @Aviso Admin ,

Sorry for the late reply. When I received the comment, I searched a lot of documents did a lot of researches. And I feel regretful to inform you that it turns out to be a by-design one. It cannot automatically point to the current folder.
