How do I add a custom field to Release Notes in JIRA WEB, if possibe?

Question

Disclaimer: *I'm totally new to JIRA and the programming world*

I am trying to get my custom field to show when I generate release notes. I tried following the directions on this link.

I was able to get as far as creating the custom field to show up when creating tickets. I can't figure out how to modify the velocity template. We're using JIRA Software web only, nothing installed locally. Is this functionality possible? Thank you all.

The Better PDF Exporter app can be configured fully via the web interface. It can be used to generate Release Notes and any other type of documents from Jira data.

I'm currently playing around with the Confluence JIRA templates. I like the JIRA Snapshot report, but I need it to display something different. Do you know if there is away to get it to show a custom field instead of the summary field? We have a field called "Release Note Comments" and would like that to display instead of summaries. Also, I don't need the status to show either. Is this even a capability? Below is an image of what I've been able to generate and what I'm ultimately looking to do. Thank you for your guidance.

The release note function in Jira was written to be quite simple (because everyone has very different needs from it) and output something designed to be copied and pasted into other systems to be tidied up before publication.

Confluence would be a good choice for that.
