Variables in macros in templates?

Faros65

Hello!

We want to create a Confluence template for a page with various reporting info from one single Jira "initiative" item. The only thing that shall change betweeen the different to be created pages is the ID of the initiative in the JQLs within the macros.

Sadly, I haven't found out yet how to place a variable in a query within the "Jira issue" and "Jira chart" macros.

Can you please point me to the respective info?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Faros65 ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

I recommend you to go through this community post Insert-the-jira-issues-macro and below KB article

I hope above info help. Have a nice day.

Thanks,

Hi Srinatha,

thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, neither of the two links above shows me how to put a variable into the macro. Only that I cannot add a variable to the "Create from template" button.

To be more precise with my requirement:

The page template has multiple "Jira issue" and "Jira chart" macros.
Each of these macros contains a JQL that retrieves the specific info related to the _same_ Jira item (plus some settings).

Example JQLs:

key = INI-123
project = "Milestone Management" and "Initiative of Milestone" = INI-123 order by "End Date"

This "INI-123" appears in all used macros on the page. What I now want for my template is to replace "INI-123" with a variable. When someone then creates a page from this template, he or she must provide the variable's value and all JQLs are automatically completed and call the correct info.

Any idea how I can achieve this?

Thanks
Faros
