Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.

Note that the template_variables: section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

### Example Template Variable Amendments

The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

???+ tip

    Anywhere you see this icon:
  
    > :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus:
  
    That's a tooltip, you can press them to get more information.


```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: universe
        template_variables:
          sep_style: salmon #(1)!
          collection_order: release #(2)!
          radarr_add_missing: true #(3)!
          append_data:
            monster: MonsterVerse #(4)!
          trakt_list_monster: https://trakt.tv/users/rzepkowski/lists/monsterverse-movies #(5)!
```

1.  Use the salmon [Separator Style](../separators.md#separator-styles)
2.  Sort the Universe collections by release date
3.  Send missing items in your library from the source lists to Radarr
4.  Create a new universe called "MonsterVerse", the key for this universe will be "monster"
5.  Add a trakt list to the "monster" key
