      Product update 18 February 2022

      Hello all, 

      I am well overdue on updating this issue, sorry for the delay.

      This feature remains on the fringe of our roadmap, and is not planned for completion any time before July 2022, at which point it will be a roadmap candidate.

      On a more positive note, we recently conducted some exploration on this feature and have identified an approach. This will cut down the work required when we are able to start work on the project.

      I am eager to get some feedback from you all

      The original request talks about using the Jira setting for email from. Is this a critical aspect of this feature? I believe no, but rather being able to define a generic (potentially custom) name for a service desk, and elect to us that name for all notifications.

      Let me know your thoughts here.

      Cheers, 

      Ben.

      Currently, JIRA Service Desk's From field in its email notifications shows the user's Full Name (Display Name):

      This is hard-coded in JIRA Service Desk on ServiceDeskEmailImpl.scala. As a JIRA Administrator, I'd like to have this following the Email from configuration of JIRA's General Configuration.

      Currently, this format can cause confusion for users, as it is not clear that replying to the email will send the reply to JIRA - as it shows the user's name, the user may think he's replying to the sender's email directly.
