Creating local variable on confluence page

Kacper Szczepanek

Dear all,

 

I'm looking for a solution, which lets me create a sort of local variable, that I can assign and use in the Confluence page.

Some example:

var tblLength = length_of_the_table_on_the_same_conflu_page;

Later in the text, I can call the variable like this:
'Lorem ipsum contains {tblLength} items'
And receive output like:
'Lorem ipsum contains 43 items'

I'd really appreciate any help

Hello @Kacper Szczepanek !

I believe that I understand the desired behavior. However, natively we are not able to perform such in our Cloud platform. Here we can check the differences between Confluence Cloud and Server:

• [Atlassian Cloud Support] Compare Atlassian cloud vs server
• [Confluence Support] Functional differences in Confluence Cloud

 

In Confluence Server we can achieve something pretty close to that by using User Macros or Plugins available from our Marketplace:

• [Atlassian Marketplace] Easy Confluence Variables
• [Confluence Support] Writing User Macros
• [Confluence Support] User Macro Template Syntax
• [Atlassian Community] Can I use a variable with a macro? I am trying to create a custom template and use variables and a JIRA macro together. 

 

I hope this shines some light into your objectives, Kacper! Looking forward to your reply.
