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 UI, CLI 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
