How to add comments under JSM tickets via email

Question

Hi,

I want to know if there is any way for customers to add comments/attachments under a ticket via email for a Jira Service Management project. (without going to the portal)

Kindly help.

That you cannot do natively. Jira will consume the subject line as the summary, and the email body as the description of the ticket. Whoever the sender is will be the reporter.

In terms of setting any other custom fields, you could write automation rules that will search for specific regular expressions to extract the values from the description.

It works,.But while creating an issue via email, how can I add the required fields in the mail content?

Thanks
