Jira Email This Issue - Use custom Field as Sender email address

[Nancy Blackwell]

Is there a way to have a customfield that holds an email address be placed in the "From" of the email instead of the current user? I'm looking for functionality similar to "Recipients (To):" configuration where I can select a custom field.

You can try Scriprunner plugin.
Possible solution: Prepare workflow transition with name Send E-mail. Use Script Post-Function (of the Scriptrunner) in workflow transition and choose prepared function Send a custom email (to send an email based on the provided template if conditions are met). You can also add Screen with Custom field (eg. To) to this transition.

Vidic - I am trying to follow your code and I get the basic functionality, however I am confused with what is setting the parameters that gets passed in to doScript and how exactly is it mapping to the template created in JETI?

[Vidic Florjan]

Code is buildin function for Script Runner plugin (Free plugin), not for JETI.
(And you don't need to change code :-) )
