User Defined Substitution Variables

User Defined Substitution Variables

Summary

Starting with release 4.2, there is a configuration panel available for user defined substitution variables. For more information on all substitution variables see Substitution variables.

Configuration

Configuration is a simple name/value pair.

  • The configuration screen is available from the UPM entry or the Add-ons administrations tab

  • The name field must not contain % and we recommend using using relatively simple names without special characters

  • Variable names are case sensitive

  • Variable names are trimmed of leading and trailing blanks

  • Variables are sorted alphabetically

  • To remove a variable, blank out the name and save

Use

  • Use is similar to all other substitution variables, a prefix of variable indicates a user defined variable

  • Example: %variable_jira-local%

  • User defined variables can be used in any action definition (run UICLI Post Function and CLI Validator)

  • Substitution is a simple text substitution with recursion on user defined variables (there is no recursion on standard substitution variables)

  • Variable names are case sensitive
