Velocity Template Custom Fields - $issue.project is null

[Jason Varsoke]

I'm trying to do a custom template.  I've cut and pasted the example from https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/creating-a-custom-release-notes-template-containing-release-comments/ which is for using CustomFields.

In debugging why the field does not show, I've deduced that inside the macro, the object $issue.project is null for the call $issue.project.getLong("id") on line 2 of the example.

Why might this be the case?

Note: I'm using Data Center Jira, version v11.3.1

Hey @Jason Varsoke 

I've never worked with this, so I cannot say much, but maybe you could get faster assistance in Developer Community forums > there's a category dedicated to Jira DC development.

Someone might chime in here, but I guess you'll get better technical support on linked forums.

Cheers,
Tobi
