Is it possible to arrange action items by date?  Items w dates get entered randomly and reorganizing them ascending or descending would be ideal

Hi @Terri Barris , welcome the Atlassian Community!

Basic item lists ( [ ] ) are not wrapped in anything, so it is basically checkbox with text.

I've found some long ticket where Atlassian is drawing the line between Jira and Confluence when it comes to tasks ;) https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-41566  

Probably there are some apps for this, I've noticed some post related to Confluence server:

I've played around a bit on that 1st though that it would need to be wrapped in something to allow sorting...

here are my 2 ideas:

  • simple table, 1st column is rich text, which can use  [] and nested items, with 2nd column which can be due date -> and can be sorted
  • use databases - here text is a simple text so there is no nesting and no [], but there can be other column for status and column for due date. It will also allow filtering for states like not done.

I like the database idea, because default values can be set like yes/no and default date as a current date. To be honest I will use it tomorrow to test on my personal daily planning ^^
