When configuring a plan, you may want to specify variables to be used in the build process. For details on how variables are used, see Using global, plan or build-specific variables.

Plan variables are one type of variable that is available to you. A plan variable is defined for one specific plan, and has the same value every time that plan is built. If you want to define a variable across all plans rather than a single plan, define a global variable as described in Defining global variables.

Plan variables can be accessed by using ${bamboo.varName}. Plan variables can also be overridden at runtime when running a manual build. For more information, see Running a plan build manually.

Before you begin:

Note that plan variables override global variables with the same name.

To define a plan variable:

Click Dashboard, then the All Plans tab, then the name of the plan in the list, to get to the plan you want to edit.
Choose Actions > Configure Plan.
Click the Variables tab.
Add, update or delete plan variables, as desired:
- Click Add to add a new variable once you have entered the key and value for it.
- Updates to existing rows will be saved as you move between cells in the table.
- Click the trash can to delete a variable.
