Change default email type JIRA

[jan.dolezal]

Hi,

i need to change default email type (from Text to HTML) for :

- all new users

-all already registered users

(btw. i have users in Crowd connected to the Jira).

I tried to put

<preference type="String">
	<name>user.notifications.mimetype</name>
	<value>html</value>
</preference>

into preferences-default.xml , but it doesnt work.

Go to Administration > Users > User Preferences.

Make the change to html and then click 'Apply' to force it to everyone (new and already registered). if you don't click Apply, it will be changed only for new users.

Nice, Thanks.

It doesn't work. It appears in the statement that 0 users are affected.

@Urech Daniel It works. "0 users are affected" is because no one has set this preference in their personal profile. Therefore, the default value will be applied. This means without clicking the "apply" button, all current users as well as new users will use the default settings.
