Is there a way to create form on one page that updates a table on another page in confluence?

Question

I am hoping to create a form on confluence that will add another row to a table on another page using the javascript in the html macro.  I know there are various macros one can purchase but I'm trying to find a way without having to do so.

The form would have inputs like:

Job Name, User, Job Status, Notes

I'd like to be able to take all the information from this form and add it to a table on another page (same confluence server).

In case the solution proposed by Shannon does not meet your use case, another approach would be to add a new page for each data set and list the pages with a macro. For instance with the Page Properties Report Macro (which is on-board with Confluence).

But this solution does not provide the form your use case requires and is not based on a "fill-table" metaphor (and is probably less fancy than the suggested solution using the Scaffolding Plugin). A blueprint wizard may support creating the page similar to a form, though. But this involves creating a blueprint plugin.

Of course there are a number of third party add-ons that support creating pages and provide richer support to list results in tabular form.
