JIRA emails does not have all the details How can i fix this so emails from JIRA would have all the details for issues

Hi there,

We have recently upgraded the JIRa 4.0.1 to JIRA 4.4.1 . But after migration i have noticed that emails coming for issues are not have the same format what we had in 4.0.1 . Is there any way that i can fix this issue by my own. we have the template in place .

Please guide me if some one have came accross this issue or done before.

Thanks

you can edit

*jira install dir*/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/templates/email/text/issueassigned.vm

for change only "assigned" event message or

*jira install dir* /atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/templates/email/text/includes/issuesummary.vm

to change all emails as this template are parsed for all messages

for missing fields you should add

#if ($issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_10253"))
$stringUtils.leftPad($issue.getCustomField("customfield_10253").name, $padSize): $issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_10253")
#end

here customfield_10253 is combined from reserved word "customfield_" and id of you custom field you want to add

This needs to customised files which i dig out from my old JIRA server and now all seems to be OK to me.

hi Nic,

I would like to mentioned that my issue is about when user get any issue assigned they recevie the email notification.

Those emails are not in good shape and format. Most of the details are missing from the email.

Thanks

Then you need to check the templates contain what you expect, as documented in the link I gave.

I'm not in front of a dev box at the moment, so I've not got any samples. The changes I've made worked fine though (4.0 and 4.4), based on the info in that doc.

However, you say "the even which send email is not picking up" - that leads me to suspect you might have customised something, but then not actually used it. Could you explain *exactly* what files you have changed, and what events you are aiming to get modified emails for? And what happens when you trigger the events?

To change the email templates, have a look at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Customising+Email+Content

I know Atlassian have changed them somewhat between 4.0 and 4.4, but that page tells you how to do all sorts of handy stuff with them (I especially like that because they're .vm files, you can do some quite handy stuff, including "if" statements)
