Smart value use of "{{#if ... }} does not seem to work

[Richard Bos]

Which Jira-server version supports the use of smart value: "{{#if ... }}  text {{/}}, or is this a Jira-cloud only functionality ?

I would like to use this in a reminder email, that is sent to two people, using as source two different people fields.  However sometimes the two fields holds the same person, resulting in an email with twice the same name.  That looks a little odd.

To prevent this, I thought let's use this construct:

{{#if(issue.assignee.equals(issue.coordinator))}}
  Name 1,
{{/}}

But this does not work.

the {{#if  }} is shown here:

• New automation smart values in Jira Cloud 
• smart-values-lists 

But it looks like functionality for the Jira cloud version.

Is there a way to similar functionality in Jira-Server?

1# In plain Jira, this is not possible. See https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-846 there is a work-around mentioned in the issue I linked, using a custom-field.

see http://brokenbuild.net/subcomponents-for-jira/

and https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.brokenbuild.subcomponents but it is not a freeware.

2# If you use GreenHopper, I believe something like this is made possible there, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILE/Setting+Up+a+Component+Hierarchy

No configuration and almost no maintenance needed, and it still gets the job done.

try with other browser regarding not viewing of all componets.

Hi Bharadwaj Jannu,

Thank you for your reply. I normally use Firefox. Also by using Chrome or InternetExplorer only the first 15 components are displayed. Then something like "278 more options. Continue typing ..." is shown in the list.

Nevertheless I will accept your answer due to the fact that there exists plannings to support subcomponents. In this case we will be able to modify our component structure.
