Is there a way to use variables in JQL?

[Rob Horan]

I would like to create a set of queries for a dashboard that I can re-use from version to version such that I can use a variable in the JQL.  This would allow me to make a single change which would affect all the filters used on that dashboard.  The only other option is to manually edit every bloody filter.

A workaround to create a mailinglist that includes two mailboxes, one for Jira and one for the purpose of having the archive.

But in general it is not needed to have the mail retained in Jira mailbox since all updates happening in the Jira issue will anyway reach the reporter.

Thanks for the speedy response, I've also fixed the commenting issue by changing the 'reply to' value

There seems to be another solution also. At least the documentation of the Jira Extendable Mail Handler has an option whether to delete the mail or not from the mailbox. https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JEMH/JEMH+Configuration+Options

I haven't tried it myself though.
