Customize the Confluence template "How-to article"
Here we create template with predefined content, so we don´t have to start a new page from scratch.
Step-by-step guide
Step | Procedure | Example | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Navigate in Confluence through the Cog Wheel on the left sidebar to Content Tools | If you go to the Content tools you can only edit the content for that specific space | |
2 | Go to the "How-to article" template and click on Edit | Here, you can customize templates and blueprints e.g. with template variables, macros, or custom fields | |
3 | Now we created a simple table with three parameters that we want to fetch from the issue to do so we set the variables from the related issue with the $issue.description variable and also add the variable for the Issue key and the assignee the variables, will be replaced with information from the issue that the page is created from To do that we can use the predefined $issue.description variable | Add a variable by typing $ and the name of the variable you need. For example, to add the issue key, type $issue.key | |
