Current panel macro is much more limited in terms of formatting

[Norman Cates]

The legacy Panel macro in Server / Data Center lets us create header text with a coloured background. 

I understand that macros in cloud have been changed so that they can no longer be embedded into each other. Understood.

But removing the header ability is a regression in formatting.

I'm aware of this entry, which has now been closed. It looks like it was closed after reinstating some panel capabilities between 2019 and 2022

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-66752 

So there is a large amount of irony that Atlassian have now done the same thing. Reduced the features of the panel macro.

This also causes problems when migrating from legacy to cloud. Because the header text is just ditched. And the text goes into a coloured background.

If Atlassian refuses to add a header option to the panel macro, then we need a better migration process. eg. Create a panel with the header text in it, then put the text underneath in a normal text block.

This may also have to account for panels embedded inside other panels.

Hi @Norman Cates 

I feel ya and agree.  However this is a forum to ask questions of other Atlassian admins and users, and not a complaint box.

You can submit feedback here to get someone from Atlassian's attention. Confluence Cloud - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

Fair enough pointing me there.

But how are we supposed to know to go there?

There is no information about that in the forum start page. 

Its actually really hard to find where we should be going to report problems.

If we go to Create a support ticket at the bottom of a webpage, points us at the Community forums.

If we click through the set of web pages to do with Technical Support, and click on the right links, we eventually find Suggestions and Bug Reports for our product.

At any point if we click on anything that says Support, it routes us very quickly to the Forums.

All of which is to say, the Forums need an advisory link to the ACTUAL suggestions and bug reports sections.

Based on the number of entries I see in the forums that are explicitly to do with bugs or suggestions or complaining, you REALLY need to provide much clearer expectations of where to go.

Also, when I go the Confluence Cloud section and click on the Create button, the pop that comes up has a list of Projects, none of which are Confluence Cloud.

Sooo... yeah. How are we supposed to create issues?
