Confluence Database Board View - How to group by status?

Teri Mapleson

On the Confluence Database feature, I am pulling in JIRA tasks and would like I would like use the BOARD layout view, grouped by status (like a Kanban board), but I'm being asked only for a tag group. Am I expected to create a "status" tag group and manually maintain that tag?

Hi @Teri Mapleson ,

Yeah... So far, database board grouping only supports tag fields/columns. There's a feature request for these improvements: CONFCLOUD-78152: Confluence database improvements 
Not sure if there's something you could use as a workaround here 🤔

If you would just embed a Kanban board in a page, would that be sufficient? (as embeds are quite interactive and you can view items, transition them through statuses, etc.)

Cheers,
Tobi
