Can I have a drop down menu for STATUS in Confluence?

[Vonnie Kwan]

Instead of manual edit the status, can we have a drop down for Status?

e.g. Approve, decline, review, etc?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Confluence does not have a workflow engine in it, and hence there's no status in it.

I think you might want to add the Comala Workflows App to get workflows.

So if we need to change status, we need to go in Edit mode to do so manually?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

No, Comala's workflow functions are outside the "edit" function.

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- ,

I tried with the HTML macro, where i am able to create drop down field on preview the field details of drop down and not showing .

With User macro, or any other option is it possible to create one dropdown field, there I will have fix value.

Since I am new to confluence that would be great , if you can help me.

Hi,

If you use Confluence Server you can also try the Handy Status macro (the Handy Macros app). You can create as much custom status sets as you need and change them with the help of the dropdown menu in the page view mode.

Vonnie,

For a user macro solution using the Confluence Status menu, see my article: Getting Started with User Macros - Writing a Wrapper Macro. May not be exactly what you want, but easier than manually editing macros.

Hi,

If you are looking only for the status (no workflow) our Easy Dropdown Menu (EDM) could be a solution. You can have as many dropdowns per page as you like.

You find the Easy Dropdown Menu on the Marketplace (Server and Cloud).

And if you are looking for an easy workflow, maybe the Easy Document Signer (EDS) fits your requirement. It also can be found on the Marketplace.
