Add custom field to JIRA e-mails

Georgiy Senenkov

Hello,

I would like to add custom field to JIRA 5.1 html notifications e-mail. I found that I need to modify velocity templates , e.g. issuecreated.vm. In that file i found references to the include folder to specify which fields to include.

Could you please advise how to make .vm file for custom field to include it into issuecreated.vm?

Thank you in advance.

Regards, Georgiy

lets assume your customfield has id 11800

in your your_new.vm file put this info:

#disable_html_escaping()
#if ($issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_11800"))
&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;
    &lt;td style="color:${textColour};font-family:${textFontFamily};font-size:${textSize};padding:0 10px 10px 0;white-space:nowrap;"&gt;
        &lt;strong style="font-weight:normal;color:${textSubtleColour};"&gt;#text("NAME OF YOUR FIELD"):&lt;/strong&gt;
    &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td style="color:${textColour};font-family:${textFontFamily};font-size:${textSize};padding:0 0 10px 0;width:100%;"&gt;
        $issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_11800")
    &lt;/td&gt;
#end
&lt;/tr&gt;

then include it in issuecreated.vm like this:

#if ($issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_11800"))
$stringUtils.leftPad($issue.getCustomField("customfield_11800").name, $padSize): $issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_11800")
#end

You can create your own vm or templates,you can refer custom fields as below.

#set($fieldname=$customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_11100"))

$issue.getCustomFieldValue($fieldname)

this will make your field appear in emails only if it has values...

I made new.vm file as you advised and then included it into issuecreated.vm file as

#parse("templates/email/html/includes/fields/new.vm")

and it works as needed

Thank you very much!

Is the following syntax OK?

#set($cf_downtime=$customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Downtime").next())

$issue.getCustomFieldValue($cf_downtime)

Basically what I'm asking is, can we use getCustomFieldObjectsByName() function?
