You can use text variables in most places in Refined where you can add text: layouts, categories, modules, announcement banners, and more. Refined features default text variables, as well as the option to create your own custom text variables (available in Refined for Jira Service Management version 3.2 and up).

Custom text variables
A custom text is one that you set up in your system. This lets you create even more dynamic content on your website and lets to create a dictionary for the language switcher.
...
It’s possible to nest one or more default variables within a custom text variable, for example:
Custom text variable | Value |
|---|---|
$welcome$ | Welcome to $sitename, $userfirstname! |
However, it is not possible to nest custom variables within one another. This means that the following would not work:
Custom text variable | Value |
|---|---|
$first$ | coffee |
$second$ | I like $first$ |
Note that in the Site Builder you can only use custom text variables that don’t nest any variables at all, or that nest one or more of the following variables:
Text variable | Description | Introduced in version |
|---|---|---|
$username | The logged-in user’s username. |
|
$userfullname | The logged-in user’s full name. |
|
$userfirstname | The logged-in user’s first name. | 2.0 |
Examples of custom variables
...
Wrap your script in curly brackets: {script}. Everything within the brackets will be replaced by the script’s returned value. The script will be executed using a Function() constructor.
Examples
Custom text variable | Value |
|---|---|
$copyrightMessage$ | Copyright ACME {return (new Date()).getFullYear()}" |
$greeting$ | {if ((new Date).getHours() < 12) { return "Good morning" } else { return "Good afternoon" }} |
Limitation
The logic syntax works in every area of Refined where you can use default text variables, except in the Site Builder.
