Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm looking for the ability to reuse {{variables}} in my template.

Describe the solution you'd like
If my template has {{variable 1}} defined, the submitted user input should populate that variable everywhere in the template. Right now, I'm asked every single time to input a value for the variable when it is used multiple times in the template.
