Problem Definition

Looking at the instruction from Creating a custom Release Notes template containing release comments page, it is observed that it is suggested that we should create a custom field under the “Release notes comments” name, but on the provided template of the modified “releasenotes-text.vm” file, you can see the following line: #if($customField.name.equals("release notes comments")) is a case-sensitive comparison.

Suggested Solution

• Update the Name of the custom field to "release notes comments" to {}match the one in the .vm template.
• Add the complete configuration of the custom release notes:

  • • Create a backup of the {{velocity-default.properties }}file
    • Add the allowlist under template loaders:

      # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      # T E M P L A T E  L O A D E R S
      # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      #
      resource.loader.file.allowlist.enabled = true
      # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

    • In the introspector.proper.allowlist.methodssection, add the following methods to the existing ones:

      com.atlassian.jira.issue.DocumentIssueImpl#getIssueType(),\
      com.atlassian.jira.issue.managers.CachingCustomFieldManager#getCustomFieldObjects(java.lang.Long java.lang.String),\
      com.atlassian.jira.config.properties.ApplicationPropertiesImpl#getString(java.lang.String),\
      com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.ImmutableCustomField#getValue(com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue),\
