What's the benefit of jql allowing variables vs jira filter in Confluence?

Bea Tea
Bea Tea Nov 23, 2022

Saw some of my peers using the JQL Allowing Variables widget but it seems I can do the same with a Jira Filter macro in Confluence. In fact the latter seems easier to list the fields you want to show in the column. What's the benefit of the JQL allowing variables?

@Bea Tea using variables allows you to pull in specific information related to the page without having to update the JQL.  This can be helpful if you are creating a page from a template where the value might change on each page.

@Brant Schroeder make sense but I noticed when I save the page the fields don't always show values when I use this feature.

@Bea Tea are they getting overwritten or removed?

The fields (lead names) are empty and don't load the values. Or it could be a huge latency but I don't see them populated
