Have you tried setting up values in model object from JS file for example, model.name="ABC" and in ftl access it as ${name}.

Hope this helps.

If I am understanding correctly then, Looks like you are trying to replicate the same thing as done during email sending. However, while email send when you set up the template model, it resolves values at the runtime during mail action. Here, from one JS file you are trying to populate values in a static html template which in my opinion would not be possible straight away. You may need to take a look at processTemplate and see if you can customize it passing the values for the variables in the template.

Hope this helps.

Vikas, you can try passing parameters using args parameter (map) in processTemplate

processTemplate(template, args)

Let me know if this works.

Thank you, Sir It is working.

var args = new Array(1);
args["hello"] = "78978879";
var content=doc1.processTemplate(fileNode,args);
doc1.properties.content.content= content;

now I can access these variable using ${args.hello}
