Associate the template with your projects and/or issue types

  1. Go to JETI Administration / Contexts (JIRA_BASE_URL/secure/admin/jeti/jetiProjects.jspa)
  2. Click Add to add a new context with the following attributes:
    1. Project: select the project you want to apply the context settings to. You can leave Project empty to use this context for all projects.
    2. Issue Type: select the type you want to apply the context settings settings to. You can leave issue type empty, to use this context for all issue types.
    3. Template: select a default template for this context (e.g. the one you customized above, Custom Template). This template will be used by the Email button.
    4. Notification template: you can leave empty.
    5. External Watchers Field: select a field to add external recipients as watchers to the issue. You can leave it empty.
    6. Sender Name Pattern: enter a name that appears in the emails as the sender, you can leave it empty. You can use velocity markup to dynamically generate the sender name upon issue fields.
    7. From Email Address: enter the email address you want to use as the from address in emails. You can leave it empty (in this case the project's notification sender address will be used) . You can use velocity markup to dynamically generate the sender name upon issue fields.
  3. Repeat step 2 to add all contexts you want.
