CreateOrCommentHandler should have parameter for priority

      Creating an issue via email works great for us.

      Due to some persons use of emails (sending them with high priority regardless of content) they always end up in jira as blocker. Because of the political implications of "downprioritizing" an issue, we usually don't do this, but it really screws up our statistics. I'd rather prioritize some initially "normal" support request up to blocker, thus I'd like the CreateOrCommentHandler to offer a parameter for the standard priority. It could and should still default to the current behaviour, if this parameter is not given.

            [JRASERVER-10558] CreateOrCommentHandler should have parameter for priority

            Hi,

            This is a bulk update to specific issues in the JIRA (JRA) project

            As part of an effort to ensure we are transparent about the JIRA issues on jira.atlassian.com, we have decided to resolve those that have been open for multiple years with minimal activity and with a low number of votes. In light of the fact that JIRA is rapidly changing and that this issue may not be a valid request any longer, we will be resolving it today.

            Votes are not the only metric that we use to determine the requests that are implemented, however they do factor in to our decision making process. We have decided that the combination of this issue being open for a long period of time, and it's low number of votes means that we are unlikely to implement it. If you would like thoughts on how we use jira.atlassian.com, please see: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/110373/how-does-the-jira-team-use-jira-atlassian-com

            If you have believe this issue is still relevant, please comment on the issue and we will respond. We are watching all these issues that we bulk close.

            Best regards
            Josh Devenny and Roy Krishna

            As this feature is already present in JIRA, it should also be configurable without having to install an add-on.
            So the best thing would be to have a dropdown menu, where one can select the default issue priority for high priority emails or disable this feature.

            And also, there is a free solution JEMH , you can set a default priority, but override on a per-email basis through directives in the subject "#priority=low" or in the first line of the body "@priority=low"...

            Just to let you know, there is a commercial solution at http://www.softwaretesting.de/jira/artikel/pix-email-handler.html that may suite your needs.

            If there was a way to allow for mapping the X-Priority header property to a Jira priority for CreateOrCommentHandler's, this would be great. We are having the same issue with emails coming in as high priority and being created as blocker priority in Jira.
