      Use case / Description (brief):
      Users often start with simple tables in Confluence and only later realize they would benefit from database capabilities (field types, filters, views, relations, etc.). Today, they must manually recreate the table as a database and copy data over, which is slow and discourages adoption of databases.

      We’d like a single-button “Convert to database” action on existing tables that:

      • Automatically converts the table into a database (columns → fields, rows → records), preserving data as much as possible.
      • Replaces or inserts the new database in place of the original table.
      • Optionally allows a quick undo if the user isn’t happy with the result.

      This would both reduce friction for users with existing tables and promote awareness/adoption of databases by surfacing the functionality directly where they work
