Hi,

Can anybody let me know how to add status of the bug in the subject line in the emails?

I tried modifying in email_api file in core folder but in vain.

Please let me know if anyone has any idea.

I would be very interested in getting this working too. Does anyone know how to make this happen?

You are looking in the correct file to make the edit. In function email_bug_info_to_one_user() change the following line:

# build subject
$t_subject = '['.$p_visible_bug_data['email_project'].' '.bug_format_id( $p_visible_bug_data['email_bug'] ).']: '.$p_visible_bug_data['email_summary'];

to

$t_subject = '['.$p_visible_bug_data['email_project'].' '.bug_format_id( $p_visible_bug_data['email_bug'] ).']: '.'('.$p_visible_bug_data['email_status'].'): '.$p_visible_bug_data['email_summary'];

That's a good start. Now, how do I convert the numerical value of the status to a text value. With this change, I get codes such as (50) instead of "assigned" and (80) instead of "resolved".

You can find some hints in the columns_api.php
For example, for the status, you can use You will find all other 'converter' in the above file.

Thanks Obriend! Yes it did work.

Regarding getting the string equivalent of the interger I used "Case statements" to solve. Pro you could write back if further clarifications are required.

Sorry, I forgot the line to convert the id to its text value. When I went looking to get that line for you I discoverd my logic to convert to text and concat it with the email subject was slightly flawed. I made some changes to my code and you should do the same. Your code should now look like this in function email_bug_info_to_one_user():

#This will convert the ID into its text value.
$t_status = get_enum_element( 'status', $p_visible_bug_data['email_status'] );

#This will concat the email subject with the status value
$t_subject = '['.$p_visible_bug_data['email_project'].' '.bug_format_id( $p_visible_bug_data['email_bug'] ).']: '.'('.$t_status.'): '.$p_visible_bug_data['email_summary'];

That worked brilliantly! Thanks obriend!
