Question for Confluence: Email notifications for Answer comments use the "questionId" instead of "title" in the Subject

      Issue Summary

      When comments are made on any answer to a question in the "Question for Confluence" app, the email notification uses the incorrect Subject field. Instead of the format "[Confluence] <actual-question>", it goes as "[Confluence] Re: questionId=<contentid>".

      In other words, it looks like the notification is failing to fetch the actual content from the target question and using its ID as a fallback.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Access a Confluence site and enable the "Notify on my actions" option under .../wiki/users/viewmyemailsettings.action.
      2. Publish a new question within the Questions app. (For example, "What color is the sky?")
      3. Publish an answer to the new question from #2
      4. Add a comment to the answer added in #3
      5. Check your email

      Expected Results

      3 emails received:

      • First, the question, with the subject "[Confluence] What color is the sky?"
      • Second, the answer, with the subject "[Confluence] What color is the sky?"
      • Third, the answer comment, with the subject "[Confluence] What color is the sky?"

      Actual Results

      3 emails received:

      • First, the question, with the subject "[Confluence] What color is the sky?"
      • Second, the answer, with the subject "[Confluence] What color is the sky?"
      • Third, the answer comment, with the subject "[Confluence] Re: questionId=9874225"

      Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
