e-mail notification body for automation with projects name and issues id

Question

Hello, I've created automation "When a task is near due → send email reminder (3days)". Rule runs great with e-mail body like below: " Hello {{distinctAssignee.displayName}}, The following issues are due within next 3 days: {{#lookupIssues}} {{key}} - {{summary}} {{/}} Regards, Jira Automation " I want however to add Project name before list of issues. To separate issues by projects like below: "Project1 name: -id1 -id2 Project2 name: -id1 -id2 ... etc Any Idea how to solve it? Regards.

Depending on your automation version you could probably create a list at the start of the automation and then go through each entry in that list (say, of projectkeys) via the smart value branch.

Result is:

Which means, you can probably then use the JQL described earlier, but replace the project keys with {{p}} within the branch. Perhaps. Again, untested, all.

Hi @Piotr Nowak

Do you have a known list of projects to group by?

* If so, you could use smart value, list filtering with the single lookup inside of the branch to do this, with a filter for each project: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/Filtering-smart-value-lists/ba-p/1827588
* If you do not have a defined list of projects, I do not believe this is possible with current rule features.  There is no "group by" feature of automation lists, or nested branching.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thank You for quick reply.

This acctually might work to reach the target, however looks like a lot of setup and further supervision, especially with huge number of projects. I'm trying to find some more global solution. If there will be no other way, I'll go after your sugestion.
