Prerequisite

To record incidents, you need to have an active Jira Service Management Project. Each incident should include a custom field on its edit screen called Affected System, which is an asset object. The custom field code for Affected System is 10049 and will be used later. Ensure this is configured as a single-option field.You track your incidents in Jira and assign a Jira Service Management Asset field called Affected System to them when you create the issue. This field (in our example with the custom field ID 10049) should be configured as a single option field to allow accurate identification of the affected system for each incident. Each managed system has at least one defined Application Owner set as an asset attribute.

Configuration steps

started and configure the recipient

Add the post function Send email post function to the Create transition in your Incident Management workflow. Keep the the Basic configuration. Edit To ensure the project lead is notified of newly created incidents, add them as a recipient by Select recipient → Add Field containing users → Project lead. 

UI Step

Email content

To display the name of the Asset stored in the Affected System field, use the getNameFromAsset() function. To get the correct field, use the Add field option and search for Affected System.

Define the email subject

Code Block
titleSubject
There is anAttention: New incident withof %{getNameFromAsset(%{issue.cf10049})}. .name}

In the subject line, we used the field code for the Affected System field, which has the ID 10049 in our example. Adding the .name suffix retrieves the asset’s name instead of its key, allowing the project lead to directly identify the affected system.

titleHow to get a custom the right field code?

Simply click Add field and search for affected system within the expression parser to find the correct custom field.

UI Step

Set the email body 

The sample mail can be customised to your needs. The Application Owner uses the getAttributeFromAsset() function, the Affected System cutsom field and the "Application Owner" Asset Attribute. This function returns an attribute value  to give the name, here it is embedded in the userDisplayName() functionYou can choose to send the email in either plain text or HTML format. The following example, which you can adapt to your needs, is defined in HTML. If you want to use this example, ensure that the Email Format parameter is set to HTML.

Code Block
titleEmail format* -> HTMLBody

    Hi there,
</p>
  
<p>
 ThereA is a new incident with the issue key %<a href="%{system.baseUrl}/browse/%{issue.key}" target="_bank">%{issue.key}. The problem is with <a href>%</a> has been created. Here, the system %{issue.cf10049.name}</a> the is affected. The Application Owner of this system is %{userDisplayName(getAttributeFromAsset(%{issue.cf10049}, "Application Owner"))}

</p>
  
<p>
    Reporter: %{issue.reporter.displayName} <br>
    Assignee: %{issue.assignee.displayName} <br>
    Project: %{system.baseUrl}/projects/%{issue.project.key}" target="_bank">%{issue.project.name} <br>
</p>
  
<p>
    Cheers

To insert information about the Application Owner, use the getAttributeFromAsset() function. In this example, it returns the Application Owner asset attribute for the affected system specified in the issue as an Atlassian account ID. Since this ID is not easily readable, you can use the userDisplayName() function to convert the ID into a readable name.
