Confluence databases limitations

I have been working with Confluence databases and found four limitations that do not exist with standard pages. I wanted to check if others have experienced the same and whether there are any workarounds.

  1. Text fields are very difficult to write in The text input experience inside database text fields is poor. Basic writing and editing actions do not work as expected, making it hard to enter or modify content.
  2. Jira tickets mentioned in a database do not appear in the ticket's Confluence content section References inside database entries are not picked up by the Jira cross-reference. This works fine with standard pages.
  3. A database cannot be linked to a Jira ticket as a Confluence page When using the "Link" option in Jira, databases are not recognized as Confluence pages. Only standard pages appear.
  4. Text does not wrap in narrow columns When a column is resized to a smaller width, content is cut off instead of wrapping to fit the space.

Are these known limitations? Is there any plan to address them, or any workaround available in the meantime?
