The hint shown in the prompt editor of the workspace shows the wrong brackets.
Currently:
Format your variables using brackets like this: {{variable}}. Make sure to enclose them with {{ and }}.
Utilize {{CLIPBOARD}} variable to have them replaced with clipboard content.
The variables of prompts use angled brackets ([ and ]) instead of double curly brackets ({{ and }}).
This leads to the variables not working.

This is simply untrue. Try creating a slash-command prompt with these prompt variables surrounded by double curly brackets ({{ }}) and then using it within a new chat. This works perfectly fine for me.
Note that the {{USER_LOCATION}} prompt variable requires a secure connection over HTTPS. To utilize this particular prompt variable, please ensure that Allow User Location is toggled on from the Settings -> Interface menu. The {{CLIPBOARD}} prompt variables requires access to your device's clipboard. Feel free to remove these 2 variables for testing purposes.

Note that the `{{USER_LOCATION}}` prompt variable requires a secure connection over HTTPS.

@silentoplayz Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that the variable are the fields that can be filled like a form with tabulator to move to the next.
It would be great to have all available variables and also the a hint to the form fields in the editor.
