Tip for Template Variables:

In some cases, custom fields or other fields on the issue may have a null value, resulting in variable names being displayed in email content.To prevent this, put an ! after $ sign on a variable name like this:

$!{issue.getCustomFieldValue($customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_11100'))}

How can I format dates with a custom time zone?

You can change the time zone of the dateTimeFormatter provided in the notifier context.

1. Copy the following code block into your notifier content:

#set( $tz = $dateTool.getTimeZone().getTimeZone("IST"))

#set( $zonedFormatter = $dateTimeFormatter.withZone($tz))  

#set( $date = $issue.created)

Created Date: ${zonedFormatter.format($date)}<br>

2. Change IST with any time zone you would like to apply. Find a list of all available time zones here.

3. Change $date with any date you would like to format. 

4. You can also apply custom time formats with zonedFormatter as usual.

Advanced Tip:

You can use loops, if/else conditions, and other Velocity templating engine features in Time to SLA notifier templates. More information can be found in the official Velocity guide.

Here is an example of how you can iterate over the selected users in a multiple user picker custom field and display their real names:

#set( $users = $!{issue.getCustomFieldValue($customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10300'))})
 
Custom Field (Multiple user picker):
#foreach( $user in $users )
  $user.displayName#if( $velocityHasNext ),#end
#end
