My custom list variable in my template is not appearing when creating a page from the template

[Dave Matthews]

I am using the /variable macro within a /pageproperties macro on a custom template created within my confluence space. When a generate a page from the custom template, my custom variables do not appear. I am expecting them to be a clickable list.

Hi @Dave Matthews, welcome to the community. This is expected rather than a browser issue. A List variable never renders as a live clickable list on the finished page; it's only a fill-in prompt. It shows up when you start the page from the template through the Create menu and pick your template, which opens a form where CAPA Severity appears as the Major/Minor dropdown. Whatever you choose there gets written into the page as plain text, so the spot is blank because nothing was picked in that form. If you're duplicating the template page instead of creating from it, the form never runs. Create a template

It is definitely an odd behavior. Are you still experiencing it? Did you try different browsers?

Best,
