It's 2025 and it appears that this issue is still open. I want to be able to create checklists for doing a procedure where the user can, for each question, select a "yes" or "no" or "N/A" for each question. Only be able to select one option.

I've seen questions requesting this functionality going back a decade and no native resolution has come up. I see responses from third party developers suggesting to use their plugin. While for many this may be a viable option, if you're in a environment where your company doesn't allow you to install third party apps, then this isn't a resolution.

Using the task check box is fine if you are making a to do list and want to assign tasks and due dates.

The only workaround I can see, without plugins, is to store these templates on a SharePoint or some other external site and have the user go there, which kind'a defeats the purpose of having them in Confluence.

Update - rewording the essential part of my question

I want to be able to create a checklist in Confluence with several steps. Each step has radio buttons Yes, No, or N/A. The user can only select one option for each question. Can this be done?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community @Atalanta !

How about creating these templates at your team's space level? Instead of SharePoint

Can you please mockup what you are looking to achieve? Nothing fancy just to get a better idea.

I don't understand what difference creating at a space level would be. 

Something like this. Screenshot 1.jpg

@Atalanta 

I may have misunderstood your question.

I suggested to create a template with your questions and radio buttons as template in your team's space so every time you want them to fill it out they can create it on a page.

Can you please elaborate little bit? so I can see why what you are trying to achieve requires a Marketplace App or SharePoint.

Best,

Fadoua

I want to create a form in Confluence with radio buttons as shown in the image above.  If I insert the word document, the radio buttons are images that cannot be clicked, which is of no use. If this cannot be done, I would need to create the document externally and save it.

Ok I get it @Atalanta . You are looking for a fillable form. How will your users submit it?

Confluence out of the box does not have this option. Unless you use a Marketplace App.

Also is your Confluence Data Center or Cloud?

Best,

I had hoped that maybe this functionality was available natively and I missed it. Thank you for confirming that it is still not possible.

Are you using Confluence DC? Or Cloud?
