Is there a way to change jira card style in whiteboards?

Question

I am using Confluence Whiteboards to organise my planning, this whiteboard is then shared to multiple people who want to see at a glance what will happen in our future increments.

To do that, in our previous tool, we used to integrate Jira cards and give them some background color & size to tell the "theme" of the epic/story and the time it will take.

Howeve with confluence whiteboard, jira cards are neither stylable nor resizable. At least with the default control. Is there a way to have a fully functional jira card that we can resize or style?

Hello,

On our instance, we discovered yesterday that now cards are resizable!

Its clearly a really good first step. But yes, can't wait for stylable jira cards with background color.

Pay attention to this feature as well. Whenever we finish handling plans and analyses on the whiteboard and try to convert the cards into Jira tasks for tracking,

at this point, we lose the original style and color of the cards.

This greatly affects everyone's understanding of the original analysis.

May I ask, will there be support for modifying the card style in the future?Or can we retain the original style of the whiteboard cards?

Hello,

Thank you for your answer, but none of the propositions match the need:

- We really need interactive card, so, simple images won't do or will become too long to maintain if we have to put image AND link

- Our audience is multiple (engineers, C-Levels, designers and Product team), the concurrent solution we use today only for this need (the french solution "Draft.io") allows us to have something that is useable for everyone, contrary to confluence pages

- As per Easy Agile Roadmap, they are not free, we won't pay another plugin to replace a paid third party that we are currently paying and that we want to replace by all the tools that our premium confluence provides.

I think we will just wait.
