Errors when trying to use variables with cli add on config feature

[tcp-port-179]

Trying to use variables with the cli add on configuration feature and it errors when applying. Have tried with single quotes, double quotes, and as documented with no quotes for the value with the same result. The template will push to the device when checking, but without variables values populated. The cli add on does push successfully with hardcoded/static values, just not with variables. vManage version 20.12.5.

Hi @tcp-port-179, the variables created in CLI add-on should have double quotes regardless if they are integers or strings. For all other variables created directly in feature profiles, use same format that you use when setting it to global (so int for integers and str for strings)

Thanks. As mentioned above under Variables value variation 2, double quotes were used with the same result.
