How to change the velocity template so that the Assignee is listed in an email notification?

[Jon Jones]

Does anyone know if it's possible to do something like the following? 

Basically we'd like to include an issue's Assignee in a velocity email template sent out by JIRA. I'm not sure how to implement something like this.

Thanks, Benjamin.

I wasn't able to that #parse command to work.

But in case it helps someone, I was able to replicate what is in the screenshot by changing
/WEB-INF/classes/templates/email/html/includes/patterns/issue-title.vm

specifically the line
$projectLink / $issueIcon $issueLink

to

$projectLink / $issueIcon $issueLink #if ($issue.assignee.displayName) / Assignee: $issue.assignee.displayName #end

Hi Jon,

the basic documentation for this you will find here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/customizing-email-content-802592932.html

To add the Assignee in your eMail you need to:

• search the "set-issue-details-context.vm" in "WEB-INF/classes/templates/email/html/includes"
• add "#parse("templates/email/html/includes/fields/assignee.vm")" on the position you like to have it
• restart your JIRA

Please take note of the information in the linked documentation above and ALWAYS keep a set of backups of the original files 

greetings

Benjamin
