      Issue Summary

      Issue raised in DEVHELP:

      Dear Confluence Product Team,

      On behalf of the TechUp team I am reaching out to you asking for a collaboration request with your team around one of our Confluence apps Smart Tables currently on the Marketplace.
      We believe that by building flawless and user-friendly experiences, we provide our customers the means to increase their teams' efficiency and engagement towards the Atlassian tools.
      Why Smart tables?
      Confluence users are eager to leverage native Confluence page editor's capabilities in order to perform their day to day tasks. Thus, building out tables in a few clicks by enriching the native confluence table using powerful operations and functions in the page editor experience is the main use case we addressed thanks to Smart tables. As opposed to the other app's design and data scheme, we decided to lay the emphasis on a "Confluence page editor" experience avoiding the use of macros, or importing an excel sheet in Confluence bringing therefore to the end-user the closest experience to the native confluence comfort level they are used to and more importantly an outstanding USer experience by reducing the number of possible clicks to achieve their goal. Smart tables has today more that 700 active instances in less of two years from the product launch and our customers shared the same feedbacks: "ease of use" , "user friendliness"....
      New confluence editing experience:
      With the new confluence editing experince, we are have working hard in order to make our product compatible with new table editor api.
      However for technical reasons, its appears that the new editor is locked by Atlassian and it is impossible for us based on the current api to make smart tables compatible unless we go through macros.
      We still believe in the added value of our product outside the scope of macros and for that reason we reach out to you guys to find out if there a way of collaboration together.
      Our vision for the current version of smart tables was to extend the current editor through the "formulas button" (please check attached)

      Our suggestion for you guys is that we can work together on a technical solution that we will make the new confluence editor extendable, we are convinced that we will bring new horizons of possiblies and not just only for calculation.

      Workaround
