Description
When running a series of actions using one of the run actions (like run, runFromList, runFromSql, runFromCsv, or a client specific run action), it may be necessary to have a variable reference to information that is generated as a result of actions chosen. This page describes how that works. The specific variables that are available depend on the actions run and the release version of the client. Later versions have expanded on the variables available and new requirements will lead to additional variables. Raise an issue if a new variable is needed or there are actions that could set variables that currently do not.
| Tip | ||

Variable references always refer to the last referenced value. For more complex scripting needs, the reference parameter provides a way to remember a specific value even after it may be updated with an similar actions that followed the original action. For example remembering a Jira issue key needed for issue linking. |
Details
Prior to the action being run, certain substitutions are done on the text. The syntax is @<variable>@. A simple example is @entry@ being replaced with the list entry on the runFromList action.

jira --action runFromList --list PROJECTA,PROJECTB --common '--action getProject --project @entry@' |
Other variables that are available are generally client specific variables. Here is a Jira example:

jira --action runFromProjectList --common '--action getProject --project @project@' |
In some cases, the running of client specific actions produce variables replacements that can be used in subsequent actions. How to create projects or sets of issues based on a template provides an example of this.
