Script variables

Script variables allow you can specify variables that can be injected into your scripts.

Script Variables are encrypted and stored in your Confluence Cloud instance. You can use them to share common variables between your scripts or to store sensitive data like passwords that require encryption rather than hardcoding them in scripts directly.

Tip: Remember that variable value has a type String, even if the value is a number.

Variable names must follow these rules:

Start with a letter
Only capital letters are allowed
Only letters, digits, and the underscore character (_) are allowed

Length limit for variable:

Name is 32 characters
Value is 128 characters

Examples

To define a script variable with the name MY_FIRST_SHARED_VAR with the value 'testValue', run the following code:
1
```
logger.info("My variable has a value: "+ MY_FIRST_SHARED_VAR)
```
You should see the log with the following content:
1
```
INFO - My variable has a value: testValue
```
To define a variable with the name NO_RETRIES with a value of '5', run the following code:
1
```
NO_RETRIES + 10
```
The result will be 510 (string concatenation), rather than 15.
