Pass a variable in multiexcerpt user-macro

[Christophe Paquignon]

Hello, 

I'm currently stuck trying to pass a variable to a custom multiexcerpt user-macro. I use the following script where $EpicNumber is set in a Confluence template page upon creation.  

The user macro: 

<ac:macro ac:name="multiexcerpt">
<ac:parameter ac:name="MultiExcerptName">$EpicNumber</ac:parameter>
<ac:rich-text-body>
$body
</ac:rich-text-body>
</ac:macro>

When using the macro and checking it in the source editor it shows:

 <ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="f4462711-1238-4431-bc52-731f1ab8de49" ac:name="excerptvariable" ac:schema-version="1">
 <ac:parameter ac:name="atlassian-macro-output-type">INLINE</ac:parameter>
 <ac:rich-text-body>
 <p>
 <br/>
 </p>
 </ac:rich-text-body>
 </ac:structured-macro>
 <p>
 <br/>
 </p>

The following line is completely missing so I doubt the macro is correctly using the multiexcerpt one:

<ac:parameter ac:name="MultiExcerptName">$EpicNumber</ac:parameter>

Please note the name "multiexcerpt" is already taken by the original plugin so the macro name is not 'multiexcerpt' but 'excerptvariable' in this case.

Do you know how I should proceed? 

Thanks in advance!
