How can I create an Alias in JEMH that works with a ColonSuffix field processor?

Question

We want to use the ColonSuffix field processor and must transform the customer's incoming key values to JIRA key values.

E.g: priority: Hoch should be priority: Critical.

I've created Aliases with the following structure:

It doesn't work and I don't know why. What's wrong with this configuration?

Perhaps this will help. Here is about what the email looks like that we are sending:

Thanks for the hint, we had tried that actually, but unfortunately that doesn't work either. Even if we only read the value it isn't taken over correctly.
I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the email format/ content, as when the priority in the mail corresponds with the jira priorities (e.g. in the email it says "priority: Blocker" and Blocker is a priority we have set in Jira) then it reads the priority correctly and sets it accordingly.

Do you have any other ideas?

The format given looks like ColonSuffix, and for the priority _values_ to apply, you just need alias _those_, eg:
KEY     ==    VALUE
Kritisch == Blocker
Hoch == Critical

Then, content like:

priority: Hoch

would be processed as:

priority: Critical

try that?
