Is it possible to add record producer variables to HR Document Templates

[gowdash]

Dear Experts,

We are using HR PDF document template to generate employee joining forms like Provident Fund Nominees etc. We are collecting this info from a record producer, now the requirement is to generate a PDF Document which contains a few variables filled in by user. I see we are able to access the fields on the HR Case table in the HR Document template however, would like to know how to add variables?

We tried using ${variables.variable_name} in the HR document template, but it did not work.

Appreciate your valuable responses. 

Best Regards,

Is it not working as per docs?

Add customized variables in a document template 

if it doesn't work then it's a platform bug.

use template script and bring the variable data and use it

(function runTemplateScript(target /*GlideRecord for target task*/ , docTemplate /*GlideRecord for doc template*/ ) {

    //Add your code here to return the dynamic content for template
    var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
    gr.addQuery("sys_id", target.sys_id);
    gr.query();
    if (gr.next()) {
        return gr.variables.variableName;
    }

})(target, docTemplate);

${template_script:fetch_variable_value} -> include in the body of template
