Confluence Template Variables

Confluence Data Center Template Variables

It is possible add own variable by writing $ with name of variable and click on Create:

Open

After creation is user able to define type of variable:

Editing of variables is not possible.

Deleting of variables is possible (automatically) when variable is not present in the template and user Save template.

Notes from https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Page-variables-date-field-display-default-date-as-today/qaq-p/1183730

There is a variable called $currentDate, but this is only included with the Meeting Notes Blueprint. There's a feature request below to be able to access those variables in other templates:

• CONFSERVER-30567 Allow for access to common variables in Blueprints templates

If you're on Confluence Server, then you can write a User Macro to do this. There are more details on the thread below:

• Insert current date into Confluence page

You can modify this User Macro to your needs, but you'd be able to insert the macro into any template you'd like and it'll automatically show the current date and time.
