Modify release notes template

Brandon Kreiens
Brandon Kreiens January 5, 2018

Hi all,

 

I've created a new release notes template following this KB: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA041/Creating+a+Custom+Release+Notes+Template+Containing+Release+Comments

 

But, I want my new template to only apply to one project. Does anyone know what the proper syntax would be for the "if statement" if I want to start my template with:

#if project = myproject

...my new template

 

#else

the out of the box template

 

#end

If "$issues" contain the issues, to be included, then you could the first one and check its container project's key:

#if($issues.get(0).projectObject.key == "WHATEVER")
... in the "WHATEVER" project
#else
... in some other project
#end

Thanks Aron! It's still not quite working for me. Here's what I did. My goal is that in the ABC project, I don't see the issue key and summary (only the custom field) but that in all my other projects I see the usual stuff for release notes.

 

But when I use this, it is removing the key/summary in all projects. Am I missing something?

 

#foreach ($issueType in $issueTypes)
#if($issueType.issues.size() > 0)
** $textUtils.htmlEncode($issueType.name)
#foreach ($issue in $issueType.issues)
#if($issues.get(0).projectObject.key == "ABC")
* #getReleaseNoteComment($issue $customFieldManager)
#else
* [$issue.key] - $textUtils.htmlEncode($issue.summary)#getReleaseNotes($issue $customFieldManager)
#end
#end
#end
#end

Looking at your code, I think this line:

#if($issues.get(0).projectObject.key == "ABC")

should rather be:

#if($issue.projectObject.key == "ABC")

Thank you! I was able to get it to work. For posterity, here's my complete code if anyone else ever wants it. What it does is for project ABC, only show a custom field called RNotes, and for everyone else it keeps the template the same as the out of the box. There is a minor bug that if the custom field is empty, it will display a blank bullet point, but someone could probably figure that out.

 

Html:

#macro (getReleaseNoteComment $issue $customFieldManager)
#set ($customFields = $customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects($issue.project.getLong("id"), $issue.issueType.getString("id")))
#foreach($customField in $customFields)
#if($customField.name.equals("RNotes"))
#if($customField.getValue($issue) != '') $textUtils.htmlEncode($customField.getValue($issue))#end
#end
#end
#end

#disable_html_escaping()
##Text is escaped twice so that the characters generated in the text area display properly escaped (JRA-12184)
###macro (doubleEncode $html)
##        $textUtils.htmlEncode($textUtils.htmlEncode($html))
###end

<title>$textUtils.htmlEncode($action.getText('release.notes.html.title', $project, $version))</title>

#foreach ($issueType in $issueTypes)
