Neal, My initial thought was also to "Email this Issue" as an action similar to what you described but then when I was answering a question on the issue I created I noticed the Viewable By options box that thought it might be preferable to comment on an issue and Copy is to an arbitrary user which whould make it a one step operation if you want to say something AND send the issue. What do you think? See JRA-6310
If this is ever implemented, one of the choices could be "All Watchers". This would send an e-mail to all watchers without having to perform an operation to cause an email to be generated nor have any reliance on the notification scheme being set up to send an email to all watchers. See related issue JRA-5493.
Neal,
You can already (pretty much) do this. As long as you have you notification scheme to notify all watchers when a comment is made, all you have to do is make a comment on an issue and the issue will be emailed to all the watchers. This, in my opinion, this is a better option as just receiving an issue with no explaination as to why you are recieving it may be a tad confusing. The only difference between the 2 is that one will create a comment and requires watchers to be in the notification scheme for comments (which I would imagine is quite standard). Cheers, If this is ever implemented, maybe an option to include attachments or not could be part of the U.I.
Another spin on this is to be able to e-mail the issue to all current watchers.
uh - I already said that: http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-5959#action_35318
  Hello,
Do you have an idea if this new feature will be implement in a future release ? Thanks Carole,
Unfortunately I do not have an implementation date for this feature. Thanks, We'd find this useful. In fact, we've got ideas on how it might work. There are two things to look at.
1. Who to mail So, most of the time, these will go out to existing Jira users, but I think the best way to select an address would be similar to the list that you get on notification scheme - reporter, assignee, jira user, jira group, watchers, project lead and non-jira email address. 2. What to mail. When I was evaluating issue trackers, including JIRA, back in 2004, the runner-up competitor was Visual Intercept
. It had 3 basic features which still haven't made it into JIRA after 3 years, which disappoints me:
I completely agree with Neal. I have not followed the 1st one "Assignable List" but the second two are really big in our world and I really don't see how some of the other stuff this is getting released could get prioritized ahead of 2 and 3.
Originaly I voted for
I would like to see this feature too in one of the next versions. At one of my last employers, I had to remind a lot of people for commenting or closing an issue. This was really an boring job. To have such an function would be great. Simply an reminder, where I can select the reporter, the assignee, the component owner or project lead and add an custom message. This would have simplified my life a lot. Hi,
I am developing a plugin to address this feature request. Check out and keep an eye on the plugin home page Cheers, Thats great news.
Can it be made so a watchlist can be added and then updates are sent automatically? Currently we have a custom field called "watchers". These are people who has a login. When a customer reports an issue we make sure they are on the watch list. That reduce our support since we don't both have to update progress and email them seperately. Instead JIRA is making the work for us by telling our users that updates are made. This is a great help for product support. However in our case we want the same thing but just for people not having an account within jira. Hi,
I have uploaded the 1.0 version of the plugin to http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/Email+This+Issue Please add your questions or comments about the plugin to its homepage. Thanks, |
