When editing the Description field of a template, it allows variables to be selected from a dropdown, and even created from the box. However their values are never displayed. All you see is the variable name. Even if you create a Release from the Template, the variables are not replaced with their values.

Thank you for the idea. We will investigate different behavior and will update in this thread:
- Folder-level variable support/resolution for template and release description fields
- Showing suggested variable list on template, creating release, and created release pages
