JMWE: How to add base url in email post function / URL to issue

[Jonathan Chatwin]

Anyone out there used a groovy base url in an email post function? Or is there an easier way to link to the issue

I want to use Base URL so that when I promote changes from environment to environment I don't have to change the uatjira/devjira/jira part of the URL.

What I have is this:

<code>

Click the link below to open the work request in Jira.<br>
<a href="<% ComponentAccessor.getApplicationProperties().getString("jira.baseurl") %>"/browse/${issue.key}>${issue.key}</a>

</code

I must be missing something easier!!!!

How about using:

issue.url

This is part of JMWE's simplified API, and it's visible on the "Issue Methods" help tab (in the "Others" section).

Too easy. Thanks.

Would this work for linking back to the original issue that was created?

[David Fischer]

Hi @Michael Goulette 

what do you mean by "the original issue that was created"?

[Michael Goulette]

Hey @David Fischer 

We have set up a post function that includes an email sent to the reporter when an issue is created. I was wondering how to insert the link to that created issue into the email that is sent to the reporter?

[David Fischer]

The same way that was documented before. Just make sure you move the Email Issue post function to the bottom of the list of post functions on the Create transition.

Unless you're on Jira Cloud?

We are on jira data center. So i would just need to insert issue.url into that email?

[David Fischer]

More specifically, ${issue.url} to insert the URL, but if you want to show the issue key and make it into a clickable link, you could do

<a href="${issue.url}">${issue.key}</a>

(in the HTML body)
