Standard Jira Field Variables, Custom Field Variables and Date/Time Variables
Here you can find the standard Jira Fields. We distinguish between Jira Field Variables, Custom Field Variables and Date/Time Variables.
Create a new template and add a variable by typing $ and the name of the variable you need. For example, to add the issue key, type $issue.key. You can also use variables in page titles or in different page configurations.
The following Jira variables can be added to a template, in page titles or page configurations and will be replaced with the corresponding values when a page is created with Issue to Page.
Project and Issue Field Variables

Custom Fields
In addition to the system fields, administrators can also create their own fields (so-called custom fields). Different data types can be entered in these fields. In the table you will find the list of standard types that can be created in Jira.
To do so, create a variable from the customfield ID, for example, $issue.customfield_10000. Here is a guide by Atlassian how to locate the ID of the field you need.
The following types of fields are supported:
Field type | Description |
---|---|
Date Picker | Possibility to choose date |
Date Time Picker | Possibility to choose date and time |
Number Field | Possibility to enter only numbers (whole numbers or with decimal places) |
Textfield (multi-Line) | Possibility to enter longer texts |
Textarea (single Line) | Possibility to enter simple text (max 255. characters) |
URL Field | Possibility to enter an URL |
Labels | Possibility to add any Label |
Select List (cascading) | Possibility to choose from two lists. The second list depends on the value in the first list |
Select List (multiple choices) | Possibility to select several options from a defined list |
Select List (single choice) | Possibility to select an option from a defined list |
Radio buttons | List of options, shown as radio buttons - only one can be selected |
Checkboxes | Several options can be ticked in boxes |
Attention
If special characters that are not supported (such as the German umlauts Ää Öö Üü) are used in the labels, these will be replaced by an underscore
Only out-of-the-box Jira fields appear in this list. Some apps (e.g. nFeed) can bring their own field types.
