Dynamic status
Macro adds a switchable Dynamic status to Confluence pages. You can change the selected status anytime — both in view and edit mode.
Key Features
- Status sets per space — reusable collections of statuses
- Switch anytime — change status directly on the page in view mode
- Visual styles — statuses can have colors (blue, magenta, lime, yellow, or gray)
- History — view who changed a status and when
Macro Tutorial
To add Dynamic Status on your page insert the Dynamic Status macro:
To configure the Dynamic Status macro, open configuration menu:
If no Status sets exist, the macro shows a message with a button Go to settings:
Click the button to open Space settings → Integrations → Dynamic Status and create a new set.
See Settings for details.
Configuration
To configure a Dynamic Status macro, adjust the settings in the form on the right-hand side.
| Field | Description | Logic / Default |
|---|---|---|
| Status set | Choose the set of statuses to use | Select one predefined status set |
Settings
Path: Space settings → Integrations → Dynamic Status
Follow these steps to manage status sets:
1. Empty state
If no status sets exist yet in the space, you’ll see an empty state with a prompt to create one:
2. Create or edit a status set
Click Add status set to create a new one, or open an existing set to edit:
Here you can:
- Rename the status set
- Add or remove individual statuses
- Edit attributes of a status:
- Name (text label)
- Style (color + bold/normal)
- Reorder statuses with drag-and-drop
- Preview how they look directly in the table
3. Multiple status sets
You can create multiple sets in one space — for example, one for Approval statuses, another for Document process. Each macro on a page can then reference the appropriate set.
Behavior
- When selecting a status set during macro configuration, the first status in the set is applied by default.
- If the status set is changed later in Settings, the previously selected status remains unchanged and appears in the History in its original form.
- Status can be switched anytime on the page:
- History of changes is visible in the popup:
Next steps
