Email variable for the review reminder is not being shared with the UI about pkp-lib HOT 7 OPEN

Also, it was unexpected for me that the email editor is working differently from the one at the Workflow > Emails, where the variables are displayed in plain text and the icon to insert variables is different:

Assuming it's a work in progress.

@jonasraoni, is at an old template that should be replaced during upgrade?

Apart from it, reviewAssignmentUrl isn't exposed deliberately:

I recall variables are replaced before being sent

The new wording for the template is different: https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/main/locale/en/emails.po#L251
I assume, the old template had custom modifications and that's why it was preserved, right?

@Vitaliy-1 this is a mix of UI and backend issue.

The UI of the email editor is different, the email editor that appears when I click on the button Submission > Workflow > Review > Send Reminder has:

• + button, which allows me to select variables, but only the URL is available (it refers to the {$passwordResetUrl}.
• Only 1 variable
• The variable is not displayed as text, but as a kind of icon, which looks nice for me, see:
  

On another hand, if I access the email editor of the template, at Workflow > Emails > Add and edit templates, then it has:

• + Insert content button
• 32 variables
• The variables as displayed in plain-text, which I think is worse (the user might change something by accident)

from pkp-lib.

But I also had another issue in this part, I tagged you here:
https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/pull/9151/files#r1636973735

I think it might need some extra review, so I just fixed locally by replacing the variable passwordResetUrl by lostPasswordUrl on the template.
