Using variables in auto-summary fields can be a useful way to dynamically insert content into a summary. For example, you might use a variable to insert the start or end date or the title of the document being summarized.
To use variables in an auto-summary field, you will need to use a special syntax that includes the variable name enclosed in curly braces. For example, to insert the start date, you might use the following syntax: ${startDate}.
Here are a couple examples of using variables,y ou can use them by pasting the example into your Jira instance:
Simple auto-summary:
${reporter}'s ${vacationType} Vacation Request
John Doe’s Annual Leave Vacation Request
${reporter}'s ${vacationType} Vacation: ${startDate} to ${endDate}

"${reporter}'s ${vacationType} Vacation: ${vacationDays} Days Off"
John Doe’s Annual Leave Vacation: 7 Days Off
${reporter}'s ${vacationType} Vacation to approve/deny by ${supervisor}
John Doe’s Annual Leave Vacation to approve/deny by Kate Kowalski
