Description

« Hide

Customer wants to have a comment for each issue in the "Release Notes".

The release notes are currently just a list of resolved issues (actually only the subject of the issues). If we could have a note for each issue, the release notes would be a much more useful document.

When resolving an issue, the developer usually enters a comment with important information about the fix.

If JIRA would display this particular comment in the release notes, it would be a useful and practical improvement that should not take too much effort. Maybe JIRA could display a checkbox to include/not include the comment into the release notes.

This sounds like a good idea. It is possible to create a custom tempaltes for release notes by adding them into WEB-INF/classes/templates/jira/project/releasenotes directory under the JIRA web application and then modifying the 'jira.releasenotes.templates' property in WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties. There is no way to retrieve comments of an issue from the template. One would have to modify the getTemplateVariables method of the com.atlassian.jira.project.util.ReleaseNoteManager class.

We have added a tutorial on how to accomplish this improvment which can be found here http://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=120723 . There was a small change to the code base to support this tutorial (adding the CustomFieldManager to the velocity context) so this will only work in 3.2 and above.
