How can I get Dropdown Values on A Table Field

I have fields on tables and I would like to have the ability to reflect A Yes/No or InProgres/Approved etc. on it instead of having a list of values and selecting or highlighting the current state

@Ahfaaz Hussain dropdown lists are not a native function available in Confluence - yet. With Atlassian's purchase of k15t's Databases for Confluence, which will be integrated in to Confluence in the near future, Confluence will support drop down lists for tables and other elements within the editor.

In the meantime you can check out some of the Marketplace Apps that also provide this functionality and may be helpful in your instance beyond just the use case you are looking for.

I hope this helps!

Hi @Ahfaaz Hussain ,

Thank you for your question! This functionality is yet to be introduced in Confluence. To reflect on dropdown values in your Confluence Table today, we suggest trying out our app - Handy Macros for Confluence.

With our app you can create interactive, structured and consistent Confluence pages in many diverse ways as you can:

  • Create unlimited customized status sets
  • Switch statuses directly in the view mode, including the Confluence Page Status
  • Connect statuses to page labels for quick search
  • Ensure status consistency across Confluence tables and pages
  • Quickly update the Page Properties Reports
  • and many more

We have a blog post covering this and other Confluence tips and tricks with statuses. Maybe they can serve your needs and use cases as well.

You can try the Handy Macros for Confluence app on the Atlassian Marketplace for free to see if it works for you. Our support is always happy to assist with any concerns.

Have a good day!

Kind regards,

Anastasia
