Get customfield value based on field name for email templates

[Srilatha Pokala]

currently we are getting custom field values based on custom field IDs - Is there a way to get custom field values based on custom field name?

This is required because we have more than one JIRA instances and have different custom field ID's.

$issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_10011")

For including in an HTML velocity template I use something like the code below. You could use a different customFieldManager method to get the field by name but be careful that you only have one custom field with that name defined

#set ($cf = $customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10371'))
#if ($cf)
  #set ($projectObject = $issue.getProjectObject())
  #set ($issueTypeObject = $issue.getIssueTypeObject())
  #set ( $idArray = [$issueTypeObject.id] )

  #if ( $cf.isInScope($projectObject, $idArray) )
    #set ($currValue = $cf.getValue($issue))
    #if ($currValue && ! $currValue.equals(""))
<tr valign="top">
    <td style="color:${textColour};font-family:${textFontFamily};font-size:${textSize};padding:0 10px 10px 0;white-space:nowrap;">
        <strong style="font-weight:normal;color:${textSubtleColour};">$cf.name:</strong>
    </td>
    <td style="color:${textColour};font-family:${textFontFamily};font-size:${textSize};padding:0 0 10px 0;width:100%;">
      $currValue
    </td>
</tr>
    #end
  #end
#else
<tr><td>unknown field</td></tr>
#end

Thank you but looks like you are using groovy(script runner) email templates?

we are trying to update/add velocity email templates in JIRA installation (atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\templates\email)

For more information about how to write the email template see:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GROOVY/Groovy+Templates#GroovyTemplates-GStringTemplateEngine

My complete e-mail template (it works for me if the customfields are configured belonging to the correct project):

<hr align="left" noshade="noshade" size="2" width="80%" />
<b>Código de asunto:</b> <% out <<issue.key %><br/>
<b>Tipo de asunto:</b> <% out <<issue.issueType?.name %><br/>
<% if(issue.getCustomFieldValue(componentManager.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Datos del solicitante"))) { %>
<b>Solicitante:</b> <%out <<issue.getCustomFieldValue(componentManager.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Datos del solicitante")) %><br/>
<% } %>
<% if(issue.getCreated()) { %>
<b>Fecha de creación:</b> <% out << issue.getCreated().format('dd-MM-yy HH:MM') %><br/>
<% } %>
<b>Aplicación afectada:</b> <%out <<issue.getCustomFieldValue(componentManager.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("CI afectado")) %> <br/>
<hr align="left" noshade="noshade" size="2" width="80%" />
<b>Resumen:</b> <% out << issue.summary %><br/>
<% if(issue.description) { %>
<b>Descripción:</b> <% out << issue.description.replace("\n","<p/>") %>
<% } %>
<hr align="left" noshade="noshade" size="2" width="80%" />
<% if(issue.getResolutionDate()) { %>
<b>Fecha de la desestimación:</b> <% out << issue.getResolutionDate().format('dd-MM-yy HH:MM') %><br/>
<% } %>
<% if(issue.getCustomFieldValue(componentManager.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Motivo de la Desestimación"))) { %>
<b>Motivo de la desestimación:</b> <% out << issue.getCustomFieldValue(componentManager.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Motivo de la Desestimación")).replace("\n","<p/>") %><br/>
<% } %>
<hr align="left" noshade="noshade" size="2" width="80%" />

Thank you Begona for your reply..

I have used following in my email templates, but still values are not rendered. Is it possible for you to send the whole syntax you are using? and do you have to import anything?

<%out <<issue.getCustomFieldValue(componentManager.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Equipment Name")) %>

<%out $issue.getCustomFieldValue(componentManager.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Equipment Name")) %>

Hi Srilatha,

This code works for me in Email Template field used in the Script Listener "Send a custom e-mail":

<b>Aplicación afectada:</b> <%out <<issue.getCustomFieldValue(componentManager.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("CI afectado")) %> 

"CI Afectado" is the name of a customfield

Regards,

Begoña
