How to prevent a specific field from being included in notification emails

Question

I'm trying to avoid having a sensitive field be sent to assignees and watchers on issue creation by email. It's a custom field and looking at the template in the batcher plugin, there is this segment (templates/email/batch/html/IssueUpdateBatcher-content.vm) that seems to loop through all of the changed fields: #foreach($update in $fieldGroup.updates) $escape.apply($update.fieldName): ohai #if($update.iconUrl)

#end$update.diff #end Is there a way to set this up to avoid a certain field, either in the batcher template or in the Jira UI? I'm using a self hosted Jira 8.5

Velocity doesn't seem to have a continue statement, but perhaps you can wrap the whole thing in an if statement, like this: #foreach($update in $fieldGroup.updates) # if($update.fieldName != "Private Field") ... #end #end
