Obsidian 2.5 introduced Global Parameters, which allow you to configure job parameters globally, and then simply import them into jobs as needed.

Global Parameters

The Global Parameters link under the Jobs tab will bring you to the sole configuration screen for global parameters. Users who have write privileges will be able to edit and save values. Users who have restricted read access will see obfuscated values instead of the true configuration values (see Access Control).

Access Control

By default, only admin users may edit global parameters, and all users except Limited Read users may view them in clear text. System settings globalParamEditAdminRequired and globalParamReadAdminRequired under the Dashboard section can be used to change this behaviour. The former is used to exposed write privileges to Write users in addition to Admin users, and the latter is used to allow users other than Limited Read users to view actual configured values instead of obfuscated text.
