Add a custom field to the notifications to customer

[Rob Rushing]

In the customer notification settings in JSM you can edit the email that is sent to customers. I use a "solution" field to track what has been done when a ticket is resolved. Is there any way I can add the solution custom field to the notification chain that customers get with their ticket?

I know how to set up an automation that sends an email when a resolution is given and include the solution field to that. But that will send the email as a new chain.

@Rob Rushing -

As of right now, there is a feature request https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSDCLOUD-4642 outstanding to allow admins to add custom field into Customer Notifications template.  Unfortunately, it is still being reviewed by Atlassian.  You probably already know that there are only a set of fields that you can add into the template -

You only other option is to use automation rule with "send email" action to utilize/add custom fields values into the email notification outside of the normal Customer Notifications process.  You will need to utilize issue smart values to extract the custom fields values into your "send email" action's notification - https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-issues/

I would recommend that you add yourself to the feature request as a watcher for the latest updates from Atlassian.

Sorry.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for the help! What we are going to do is simply require the agent to copy the content of the custom field as a comment during the transition so the customer receives them both at the same time.
