zabbix 6.4+ and new macro {$*.HOST} with default value <SET * HOST>

[ph77]

I will explain problem on https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/...Frelease%2F7.0

there is macro
{$APACHE.STATUS.HOST} The hostname or IP address of the Apache status page host. <SET APACHE HOST>

Our 99% servers are connecting to host with {HOST.CONN} but I am not able to configure default {$APACHE.STATUS.HOST} = {HOST.CONN} what I am doing wrong ? Is there any way how to make it without rewriting every template with this behavior, I noticed it changed in zabbix version 6.4



I am using zabbix 7.0.10 with Apache by HTTP template version 7.0-0

thanks

Using a macro as a value for another macro? I dont think it has ever been a an option(?)... If you want to use {HOST.CONN}, you should replace that {$APACHE.STATUS.HOST} with {HOST.CONN} in items...

In that test window you have to give anyway a real value for testing...

So rewrite all new templates ?

Its very stupid change, dunno why we are not able to replace macro with another macro, especialy with global macro {HOST.CONN}, because in 99% case that HOST, especialy in HTTP template, is {HOST.CONN}, just option to add {HOST.CONN} ...

hope there is some option how to do it without rewriting all new templates ...

Nothing ? So there is no simple solution as MACRO = another MACRO ?
