How to exclude a custom field from update notifications

Tim Theis

How can I exclude a custom field content from being included in the update JIRA notification?

This particular field (group sign-off plugin) contains a long script that is applied during a transition into an approval status. It is rendered graphically by the plug-in on the UI, but the JIRA notificaiton sends the raw script (which is just confusing to the end user).

I would assume the principle method of removing a custom field from notifications would be the same regardless of the field type.

Thanks!

To hide some fields in email-notification I added following if-clause to velocity-template changelog.vm.

#foreach ($changeitem in $changelog.getRelated("ChildChangeItem"))
    #if(!$changeitem.getString("field").equals("FIELDNAMETOHIDE"))
		&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;
		SOME CODE
		&lt;/tr&gt;
    #end
#end

The file can be found for html-mails in \%JIRA-HOME%\WEB-INF\classes\templates\email\html\includes\fields and for text-mails in \%JIRA-HOME%\WEB-INF\classes\templates\email\text\includes\fields.

Does anybody have an idea, how to do this programmatically in scope of a plugin development?

My developed custom field also contain some "cryptic" uninteresting content for the user and I don't want to delegate the problem to an administrator who is running the plugin in his JIRA instanz.

Is there any other method available to suppress the Jira Notifications for a particular field without really making the changes in core templates ?

It's a very old topic, but I was just looking for a solution with Jira 9.4 and this one works:

Edit email-batch/html/IssueUpdateBatcher-content.vm

 <table>
#foreach($update in $fieldGroup.updates)
#if($update.fieldName.equals("FIELDNAMETOHIDE"))
<tr class="field-update">
<td valign="top" align="left" class="updates-diff-label">$escape.apply($update.fieldName):</td>
<td valign="top" align="left" class="updates-diff-content">REMOVED</td>
#end
#if(!$update.fieldName.equals("FIELDNAMETOHIDE"))
<tr class="field-update">
<td valign="top" align="left" class="updates-diff-label">$escape.apply($update.fieldName):</td>
<td valign="top" align="left" class="updates-diff-content">$update.diff</td>
#end
</tr>
#end
</table>

Please note that you need to add the display name of the field, not the internal one.
