I've created a Database page and I'm connecting to Confluence to pull a list of pages into the database. How on earth do we filter the table using the search box? Nothing seems to work. I tried using CQL such as label = 'test' and copying and pasting link from the Confluence Search Engine but it pulls every page into the results.

Hey @Martin James ,

Not sure if you've found a workaround since this question was posted (not even sure if there is one), but we've recently also stumbled upon this and it's quite a limitation when importing pages or other Confluence content. 😕

I've only managed to find this feature suggestion that's kinda related to what you're looking for: CONFCLOUD-79195: Confluence Databases: Ability to filter per space in Insert Confluence list 

I might try to see with the Support team if they can raise the one related to labels (or just general filter improvement) 👀

Cheers,
Tobi
