how to update/insert row/col on confluence "database" content

[Christian González]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to update/insert an element into a confluence database element through the API V2, and it looks like this is not possible. Is it?

Available databases API V2 Endpoints

• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-database/#api-group-database
  • GET /databases/{id}
  • DEL /databases/{id}
  • POST /databases
• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-content-properties/#api-databases-id-properties-get
  • GET /databases/{id}/properties
  • POST /databases/{id}/properties
  • GET /databases/{database-id}/properties/{property-id}
  • PUT /databases/{database-id}/properties/{property-id}
  • DEL /databases/{database-id}/properties/{property-id}

My databases example

Hi @Christian González 

Welcome to the community.

Looking at the API doc's there are no options to amend an existing DB.

Also the Cloud Roadmap shows no new functionality coming, related to API.

I haven't found anything on adding or managing database entries via API or even automation either. Also found no announcement or planned future releases / improvements to the API.

Actually, this prevents us from using databases for some very interesting use cases at the moment. For us it means we use alternatives i.e. SharePoint lists, which don't integrate as nice in atlassian products but have lots of possibilities to integrate into automated processes.

Would be great to know if anything is planned for databases via additional API endpoints, and when, for planning.
