I want to know if it’s feasible to achieve a specific setup in Confluence. My objective is to display a table that lists Epics related to a specific fix version. Additionally, I want to include extra fields for comments and checkboxes in that same table.

Here’s a sample layout I envision:

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Jira Issue ID</th>
<th>Epic Title</th>
<th>Version</th>
<th>Confluence Feedback</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>54321</td>
<td>Feature A</td>
<td>2.1</td>
<td>Initial testing complete</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>54322</td>
<td>Feature B</td>
<td>2.1</td>
<td>Awaiting input</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

My key question is: Can I configure the table so that if the fix version changes, the rows adapt accordingly, ensuring the last column aligns with the correct issue? I haven’t been able to locate a macro that facilitates this functionality.

Integrating a dynamic table with a Jira filter in Confluence can be streamlined with the use of the Jira Issues macro, which allows you to dynamically update the table based on changes to Jira filters. To tackle the need for an editable comments column, consider implementing Confluence page properties macro for storing comments, along with the Page Properties Report macro for displaying them. Unfortunately, native Confluence features do not fully support inline editing within filtered tables, so managing expectations around editing capabilities is crucial.

Yup, it’s possible! You could use Jira Macros to bring in the issues and then perhaps explore using Tabe Filter and Charts for Confluence. It can let you add filters and personalized columns, though getting the comment field editable might be trickier. Hope this helps, cheers!
