      If user macros are defined in a velocity template, they can potentially be included without rendering due to a Velocity bug https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-776

      Ideally JIRA will update its internal version of Velocity1.7/VelocityTools>= 2.0 which contains the fix, released 17 JUL 2016. Currently JIRA 7.3 is shipping with V1.6.4

      The workaround is put UserMacro definitions inside ./atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/templates/email/macros.vm so they are defined statically.

      The 2.0. release has been available since JUL 2017
