Using variables to generate Confluence Pages

Question

The way Confluence variables work seems closer to an input field. Is there a way to use variables to insert value across the page where the variable is used?

For example, if I define $Version = 1500, and I'd want to insert $version in multiple areas on my page and have it populate the value 1500 where the variable is used.

Example:

$Version = 1500

The $verison you are requesting is available. To update from $version, make sure you are (...).

If you define multiple variables with the exact same name and configuration everywhere in the template, you/users of this template only will have to fill one variable, when using the template to create a new page.

Hi

Probably a simple user macro will work here - https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html

The one that just outputs some static text you define and you use this macro as a placeholder everywhere you need
