Script runner "Send Custom Email" sends email with html tags in description field content

[Aravindi Amarasinghe]

Hi All, 

I am trying to send the email using Script runner Send Custom Email option. 

My code is as follows.  I am using "Plain Text" and this sends email with HTML tags. 

Environment: <% out << (issue.getCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName('Environment')).toString()) %>
Description: $issue.description

Changing the Description render from JEditor to Default solves the problem. But it is not supporting service desk requests. 

JIRA: 7.3.8

Scriptrunner: 5.0.11

Can somebody help me with this? 

Thank you!

Hello, 

Could you send an example of what email you receive and a screenshot of the settings you are using on Send Custom Email? Then I'll be able to get more context into what exactly you're doing and what might be going wrong. :)

Could you please try changing the Email format from "Plain text" to "HTML"?

I think you might be pulling in html tags from your issue description, changing this setting should let them get interpreted instead of being printed out in the email's body. To check this, you could add a logging statement to see exactly what you're getting when you call '$issue.description". Something like this - 

log.debug(issue.description)

Let me know if this helps!

Hi @Jenna Davis

Thanks for the suggestion. 

Changing the Email format to HTML and some </br> notations did the job. And didn't want to change description line.
