Variables

Here you can find information about variables usage in your Jira issue templates.

What is a Variable?

A variable is a specific container whose value can be defined during the Jira issue creation from the saved Template.

Variables may drastically simplify working with the templates and adding necessary information on the go.

Currently, we support only text/number variables. No dropdown/selection.

Valid variable format: <<variable name>>

Beware that the following formats are not valid: [%name%], {{name}}, {$name}

It is possible to define if the variable is optional or required. Just put “*” symbol at the end of the variable name: <<variable name*>>

Example:

<<required*>> would be rendered as:

Create Jira issue
Add variable, e.g. <<Summary>> and other variables in the description or in child tasks

You can add the same variable into summary/description of related sub-tasks or child issues ⭐

3. Save the Template

Navigate to Apps → Templates, or use the left sidebar “Templates” link, or double press “x” button on your keyboard
The templates selection dialog would appear
Choose the relevant template and fill in the variable data
Click “Create”
All variables would be populated with the entered values in parent and child issues ✅

You can easily add multiple variables to your Jira issue(s) template! 🚀
