Is there a way to have Jira email a daily digest of all changes to an issue instead of a separate notification for each change?

Logan G Hawkes

My install of Jira (v4.4.3 standalone) has a set of issues each with a large set of sub-tasks that are updated frequently. The notification scheme is configured to send an email on virtually any change to any issue. This results in an epic amount of email. I have been asked to configure Jira to send users a daily digest summarizing the changes to a given issue and it's subtasks. This would be akin to the daily email report feature in Confluence.

I've considered replacing most of the email notifications with subscribed filters. The problem there is that the mail generated by a subscribed filter will provide a list of issues but wont' show what changed. The change is often the most important data. I've also considered using RSS feeds, but that raises organizational and network issues I'd rather not get into.

Can anyone point me to a possible solution?

Thanks.

I wrote JDigest for JIRA email notification digesting, offering a range of opt-in/opt-out scenarios. Unfortunately it requires a sourcecode change to JIRA because Atlassian still don't allow _you_ to determine what issueEventListener should be enabled, please vote for JRA-19957 which has hurt adoption, and so is not compatible with current JIRA.

It also needs updating to use ActiveObjects for data storage which is only just coming bundled with JIRA 5.0. I expect to get to JDigest afteer a JEMH 1.0 release in a few weeks, but that one bug is almost a killer.

I'd be happy to hear of any features you see as needed in the JDigest JIRA!
