Email template: Issue description is null

[Philipp Hartl]

Hello guys,

i have this line in my email template of the listener:

<p>Issue Description:$issue.description</p>

What if the issue description is empty, therefore getting value = "null" in the mail. Is it possible to write an if statement that if issue.description = null, another description is provided such as "No Description" 

Thanks for your help!

I assume this is velocity, and inside a pre block, so https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VELOCITY/CheckingForNull

<p>Issue Description:#if($issue.description)$issue.description#{else}No description#end</p>

which is ugly due to the formatting you provided

#if ($issue.description)
<p>Issue Description:$issue.description</p>
#else
<p>Issue Description:No description</p>
#end

Whatever you want to do with it, either should work.
