We enabled the Database beta in Confluence because we had already been looking for a way to store some JSM data and thought this would be the winner. So far, it seems pretty useless.
I'm looking to do things like:
- Keep a count of the number of times we've reached out to users on their issues with no reply.
- Create an average rating per reporter, based on a custom number field in their issues.
- Track how many times an issue gets a certain label, or resolution type based on a certain user (either as a reporter or stored in another field).
But so far I don't see any way to actually tie this "database" to any actual data source in Jira.
