Thank you for your feedback. This communication template was recently added to the system and contains a limited number of merge fields. This is because for some templates, it doesn't always make sense to support a wide range of fields relating to a job or application (as as example) based on the context of the template.

Information on this change as well as release dates will be added to the upgrades page on our Knowledge Portal shortly
