Templates variables - Reproduce "IT project poster" behavior

[Jean-Emmanuel BANQUEY]

Hi Confluence community,

I've recently discovered variables on Confluence templates / blueprints and it seems great but not developed as powerfully as it could.

I've added some variables to another blueprint and also a custom global template. In both cases, the behavior is like a "pre-preview" of the future page with fields to fill. I feel it as a time wasting because it is another step and on the next one, we may need rework if we would a date, a person, or a status widget instead of text.

Is there a way to have the same kind of form in a modal window like that which appears on "IT project poster" creation ?

Thx
