Variables

Use variables to customize your Jira issue templates, and manage your board even better. Make sure each tasks is properly named, and has correct data in it.

Variables: placeholders that represent dynamic values used in various contexts, such as issues, workflows, automation rules, filters, and reports.

Customize your issue templates with variables. Thanks to this option, all your issues can be updated with the necessary variables.
