We are running on a Jira Data Center instance of version 8.20.12 and would like to customize our email templates. The way we have been doing this is
1. Download .zip from System -> Mail -> Email templates
2. Make changes to .vm files
3. Save the changes and upload .zip
And we were able to see the changes. However, such a downloading-uploading loop is cumbersome and not ideal for version control. I've read this article https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver0820/customizing-email-content-in-jira-server-1095777454.html
and performed the following in the "Optional: Deploying Velocity templates without restarting Jira" section:
From <jira-install>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/velocity.properties:
1. Change class.resource.loader.cache from true to false
2. Remove the comment sign (#) from #velocimacro.library.autoreload=true
We could not see the changes being picked up by Jira without an upload. For a data center instance, we'd like to know if there's a way that we can let Jira pick up changes immediately.
