A feature has been proposed which would allow a user to set globally available variables which would be passed into a template the same as a keystore's variables.

Use Case

The current use case is template portability. It may be desired to have a value in a template which would need to be changed when the template is used in a new ZTP server instance (something like the IP address of the ZTP server). It would be better to allow the user to define a global variable for this and use that variable in their templates.
