Hello Atlassian community,
Does anyone know how to hide the content of the comment from the email notifications sent by Jira?
I have a few projects that will send out an email notification from Jira when a new comment is added to the ticket, and it will include comment content, for example Project A:
However, I have other projects that would send out an email notification from Jira when a new comment is added to the ticket, and it will NOT include the comment content, for example Project B:
This is a concern for me since email is not a 100% secure channel and there might be sensitive information added in the comments in tickets, so I don't want the contents of the comments to be included in email notifications.
I have been breaking my head for over a week trying to figure out where this is configured with no success.
Searching the forums I have found some similar requests, but it seems they all point to editing the Notification Scheme for the Issue Commented option, and there I only have options for WHO will get the notification, but not WHAT the notification will contain.
I am running Jira Sofware v7.8.1.
Project A project type is Service Desk, but I have other projects with different project types and different notification schemes that will also include the comment content in email notifications. Project B project type is Software and it does not include comments in email notifications, but there are other projects with the same project type that do include the comments in email notifications.
It seems this is configured separately for each project, but I am unable to figure out where. The Customer Notifications section in Project Settings only deals with SD notifications, but not with Jira notifications.
Things that I tried already:
Could someone please advise where this could be configured?
Thanks,
Lazar
Hello @Lazar
Welcome to the Atlassian community.
Is the recipient of the email from Project A (service project) a Customer/Reporter/Participant on the ticket or a Service Desk Agent?
I ask because in a service project the template for Customer Notifications is separate from the notifications that Jira sends to Service Desk Agents. Refer to
Notifications from Software projects would be using the licensed user Notification templates.
There is a way to modify those, but I have never done so. And I am not sure if that is a per project modification or a global modification.

Regarding the second notification that was sent from a Software project:
- What are the recipient's permissions related to Comments in the source project?
- Were any visibility restrictions put on that comment?
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
