Get customfield value based on field name for email templates

Question

currently we are getting custom field values based on custom field IDs - Is there a way to get custom field values based on custom field name?

This is required because we have more than one JIRA instances and have different custom field ID's.

$issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_10011")

For including in an HTML velocity template I use something like the code below. You could use a different customFieldManager method to get the field by name but be careful that you only have one custom field with that name defined #set ($cf = $customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10371')) #if ($cf) #set ($projectObject = $issue.getProjectObject()) #set ($issueTypeObject = $issue.getIssueTypeObject()) #set ( $idArray = [$issueTypeObject.id] ) #if ( $cf.isInScope($projectObject, $idArray) ) #set ($currValue = $cf.getValue($issue)) #if ($currValue && ! $currValue.equals("")) $cf.name: $currValue #end #end #else unknown field #end
