How to add computed column in Confluence Database

I would like to create a column in my database that calculates 60 days from a date column that already exists in my database. I couldn't find any way to do this. Is this even possible?

Your best bet is to look to the marketplace.  I do not believe it's currently possible with vanilla Confluence Databases.

Thats why these Copy of features are typically just a third of the stuff they want to copy. Same with Whiteboards, to limited to be useful.

You can't do this, as there is no formula concept in Confluence Databases.

(It is not like a spreadsheet tool, you can't build these type of dependency between cells.)

Thank you for the response. Since it's called a "database" and you can do computed fields in a database, it would be the same.

I've been using databases heavily in Notion and so was pleasantly surprised when I saw a notification for a databases feature in Confluence. The feature is a carbon copy of the feature in Notion visually.

I immediately noticed the absence of any formula concept in Confluence, it seems the Confluence version isn't as fully featured and might be a bit early stages at the moment. It certainly does not have the full range of features available in Notion.

Formulas do exist in Notion and allows you to perform a huge range of functions including date calculations, numerical formula, search arrays (such as a tags column).
