Fields populating with numbers when I send email

[Aaron Clough]

When I set up automated emails, I can, for example, send an email to myself with the assignee, reporter, status, etc in the body of the email.  But instead of getting the reporters name, I get a long string of what looks like a user ID, probably 20 characters.  For status, instead of getting in progress returned as the value, I get "3".  How do I get the values that are displayed on the actual screen to populate in the email?

Hi @Aaron Clough 

Did you check smart values? (https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-general/)

To get "real" user from assignee/reporter you should use {{issue.assignee.displayName}} or {{issue.reporter.displayName}}

To get status name please use {{issue.status.name}}
