Dynamic linking to JIRA issues from Confluence

[Dan Randall]

Hi,

I'd like to have a Template in confluence, with the following variables: Customer($customer) and Fixversion ($release).

This works fine, I can create the page afterwards using the template, however when trying to link it to jira to pull results using JQL it does not work

https://localhost/jira-test/issues/?jql=fixversion%20%3D%$release%20%20and%20labels%20%3D%20deploymentticket%20and%20labels%20%3D%20$customer

If I replace the variables with static values, the query works and the results are pasted to the page. Any ideas how to fix it ?
