      Most of the time when using template variables people are using other elements on the page to indicate what to enter in the fields, eg:

      Question Answer
      Name: <templatevariable>
      Address: <templatevariable>
      Phone: <templatevariable>

      Having the variable name displaying after the input field can look messy or confusing in certain cases. It would be nice to have the option to hide or display them per template.

            This workaround did the job for us. Edit the template and insert "HTML Macro" at the bottom of the template. And add the above code Danny gave into the HTML macro and save the template.

            Hi Steven, we are using Danny's code in an HTML macro at the bottom in Confluence 5.5.3 as a potential workaround for you

            This is not working in confluence 5.4. Does anyone have another solution? It looks pretty ugly!!

            Hi Jarka,

            To hide the template variabel, go the the custom html of Confluence and insert at the end of the body the following code:

            <style type=text/css>

            .templateparameter

            { display: none; }

            </style>

            Cheers,

            Danny

            Please fix. I haven't seen a form in any other application that displays fieldnames to users.
