Question about "Send a custom email" Post Function and helper.issueTable

Guy Anela

Hi,

I configured the "Send a custom email" Post Function as follows so it includes "Linked Issues" in the email... 

Condition and Configuration:

config.a="issue in linkedIssues("+issue.key+")"

Email Template:

<b>Linked Issues:</b>
${helper.issueTable(a, 10)}

 

It successfully displays a table with the linked issues, BUT it shows ALL of the columns/fields that you would normally see in the JIRA JQL search results. Is there a way to limit the columns that display in the email? If not, is there another way to go about this? ...I only want to display a few fields (e.g. Issue Key, Summary, Status).

 

Thanks in advance!

I was able to resolve this by looping through the Linked Issues and building out the list of linked issues (Please excuse the code as I don't claim to be a developer by any means ).

...I hope it helps someone else.

 <b>Linked Issues:</b> <br>

 def outwardlinks = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())
 def inwardlinks = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getInwardLinks(issue.getId())

 def iCounter=0


 // Check for Outward Links...
 if (outwardlinks)

 for (id in outwardlinks) {
 def linkedissueKey = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(outwardlinks[oCounter].destinationId).key
