Customizing email text to include a specific comment

[forums-5]

I am using the [CJH JIRA Workflow Plugin|http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/CJH+JIRA+Workflow+Plugins], which provides a post-function to add a comment on a transition.

The email template used for the event fired by this event (the Issue Updated event) already includes the optional Comment that the user can input on the transition screen, however I'd like to customize it to also include _this_ comment.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks!

Hello,

Have you seen this document?
* http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Modifying+JIRA+Templates+and+JSPs

It talks about modifying velocity templates in Jira, and then links to this one called "Adding Custom Fields to Email" which may help:
* http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Adding+Custom+Fields+to+Email

Good luck!


Cheers,
Emily

Yes, I've seen those documents, but unfortunately I'm not a Java developer and am confused about what is available to the email template vs. some other context.  

I even saw [this article|http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/Display+All+Comments+(Historical+Log)+in+JIRA+Emails] which looks terrific, but requires setting up a build environment and rebuilding the JIRA source code -- steps I'd like to avoid until I am past the "crunch" of my project deadlines.

Does anyone have any code for an email template to show the last 2 comments added to an issue, without requiring any builds?

Thanks!

If you're using JIRA standalone you don't have to rebuild JIRA. Only have to modify the JiraMailQueueUtils.java file. I think that's what he said, anyways.

Yeah, sorry, but we're using a WAR deployment.

Well, just to comment on the email velocity context part, this might help:

Sorry I don't have more advice to offer!  You may want to try your question in the [Jira Development forum|http://forums.atlassian.com/forum.jspa?forumID=100] as well.

Cheers,
Emily
