How do I add an editable column to a table of Jiras created using a query ?

[Madhavi_Praveen]

I have a Jira table which shows a list of jiras with jira details in the columns. I need to add another column to the same table to be able to add comments corresponding to the jira. Please tell me how can I do this ?

Jira tables don’t let you add a manual comments column directly. Add a custom field (like "Notes" or "Comments") to your issues and include it in your filter. Export to Excel/Sheets and add a comments column there. Use the built-in comments on each issue to track the discussion. If you're using a dashboard or Confluence, let me know, and I can suggest more specific steps!

You can add an editable comment column by customizing the Jira table using a plugin like "Jira Misc Custom Fields" or through Jira's built-in "Comment" field if available in your query. This way, you can link each comment directly to the relevant issue.

Hi @Madhavi_Praveen 

No, you can’t add editable columns natively to the “Jira Issues” table. You can only display and reorder the fields that Jira exposes.

What specific use case are you trying to solve by adding that column? For example, do you need to capture internal comments, custom status flags, or data that doesn’t exist on the Jira issue itself?

Yes, that's correct, I am trying to capture the CRB notes across the each Jira, this will help in avoiding the effort duplication which goes into creating another table with the same list of jiras just to capture 1 column of comments and also in maintaining the status of the Jira when it changes from opened to closed.

Hi @Madhavi_Praveen, absolutely—capturing CRB notes alongside your live Jira list would save you from building a second table and keep status changes in sync. We’ve noted this use case as a priority for our next roadmap and appreciate you flagging it!

Hi @Madhavi_Praveen ,

Can you please just share if you're using Confluence Databases, Jira work item macro, regular Confluence table or something else?

If you could share a screenshot of what you've already got and what the goal is, that would be nice.
*Note that this is a public forum, so be aware of which info you share

Cheers,
Tobi

I haven't used confluence databases yet, actually trying to understand their usecases and see if it fits into my requirement. 

Instead of a screenshot, which might not be appropriate as this is a public forum, I have a jira filter using which I can display the jira details in a table including the labels used in the Jira. We need to review the same list of jiras in a meeting, capture comments across each Jira and then based on the decision in the meeting, update the labels in the Jira. So currently, I am having to duplicate the same list just to capture comments, else all the updates are available in the Jira itself. Hence the ask.
