Using notifyUsers parameter still fires notifications on /api/2/issue/ PUT

George Pircalabescu

Hello,

I'm trying to suppress email notifications when calling the REST  /api/2/issue/ PUT endpoint.

"/api/2/issue/" + issue.JiraIssueKey + "?notifyUsers=false"

 But the recipients defined in Issues Notification Scheme -> Events -> Issue Updated as Single User are still receiving the notifications. Is this normal behavior?

Jira version 7.2.x

 

Thanks,

George

This was a new feature to Jira 7.2.0.  The feature request for this is in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-34423

The REST API documentation for Jira Server 7.2.0 explains the usage of this in some more details, see https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.2.0/#api/2/issue-editIssue

From that page:

notifyUsers

boolean

send the email with notification that the issue was updated to users that watch it. Admin or project admin permissions are required to disable the notification.

Default: true

So I would want to confirm that your user account making this REST call is a Jira Admin or a Project admin.   I am curious if project admins can actually do this in that version of Jira.  Since 7.2 the project admin role has slowly been gaining some more granular levels of project administration that were not previously possible without being a Jira Administrator.

Are all the other notifications in this instance getting suppressed as expected here? 

I am curious if there is something in particular about this specific way to designate notifications in Jira might be a bug.  I have not found any reports of such a bug yet in my searching of https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/ but I am interested to understand this problem further to know if this is working as expected, or there is something else causing a problem here.
