Page to book/chapter relationship

[davidPilkington]

Desired Feature:
Allow a single page to be related to multiple books and/or chapters.

maybe the attachments area can have a page id associated with it, a book id or even a chapter?

[Shackelford-Arden]

Hmm. I can see value in this. Nice to have but not required 👍 I like @ChangePlaces 's idea of being able to facilitate attachments being a part of this as well.

I'm very new to this app, so my apologies if this is a dumb question, but has this idea been implemented at all? I like the idea of being able to associate a single page with multiple books. My use case would be: I have a book with world information and pages for different characters or locations. I would then include that page in other books where the character has a role. This way I can view/edit the character information without having to navigate out of the current book.

@MattKaiser85 Not currently implemented. Please add a thumbs-up to the original issue comment to show support.

You can currently dynamically include page content, or event just a single section, within another page using include tags. I've written how to use these here:
#978 (comment)

You can remove the # and everything after it within the tag itself to include all page content.

This would be great to have. The way I would use it is to have a book which contains all the pages which have are set to be public. As far as I know there's no way to get an overview over the permissions so that would help me a bit.

Would love to be able to add the same page to multiple books. Would reduce trying to maintain duplicate content throughout workflow books and methodologies

I have the same issue and it seems like it is a reoccuring topic:
#1360
#122
#48

would be nice :)

If this is implemented it would be great if pages that are part of multiple books can independently inherit the permissions of those books, so that you can create collections of pages available to specific users or guests.

This would be a useful feature for us when it comes to definition/glossary pages. We have multiple systems as books and each has their own definitions page. This is helpful to keep the definitions with the corresponding system (especially as some terms are used across systems but have different meanings), but it would be nice to be able to have a definitions book that contains all of these pages for quick access to all definitions across the enterprise.
