Is it possible to include a page depending of the content a template variable?

[Franz Steindl]

Hello,

I'd like to create a template where the user of the template picks a value from a list and gets a related page included.

I have tried a solution with template variables (List values) and the include page makro but with no success.

Any ideas?

Best regards, Franz

If you are on the server version of Confluence this could be done with a user macro. Basically, the template variable would be put into the body of the user macro and the user macro would dynamically render out a page include macro based on what was put in the body of the user macro. @Bill Bailey has written an excellent article on creating a wrapper user macro (a user macro that outputs another macro and dynamically changes the properties of the output macro).
