Redmine

+1

Anyone know if this is possible via a plugin? I have someone asking if these fields can be added to the notification email.

Hi, I'm using Redmine2.4.1.
It works fine when I added "start_date" and "due_date" to issues_helper.rb as the following code.
Could you add to the latest Redmine, too? It would be really useful!

 unless issue.disabled_core_fields.include?(attribute+"_id") 
items << "#{l("field_#{attribute}")}: #{issue.send attribute}"  
 end 

In redmine/app/views/mailer/reminder.html.erb, put <%= issue.due_date issue.start_date > before the <= link_to_issue()%>

Hi, I am using Redmine 3.4.2.
I have edited the file 'app/helpers/issues_helper.rb' as Tiffany C's post but it not works.
I want the notification email include the info start date and due date.
If you have the solution please let me know. Thank you very much

I posted a patch #29254

I agree with showing start date and due date in reminders, But the current patch in #13307#note-10 needs some fix.

You can disable some standard fields in the tracker setting. Needless to say, disabled fields are not shown in reminders. However, start date and due date are always shown in reminders even if those fields are disabled.

When IssuesHelper#email_issue_attributes checks if a field name is included in the disabled_core_fields array, it assumes that the format of the value is "*_id". This does not work for start_date and due_date because those fields does not have the suffix "_id" in the disabled_core_fields array.

    %w(author status priority assigned_to category fixed_version start_date due_date).each do |attribute|
      unless issue.disabled_core_fields.include?(attribute+"_id")
        if html
          items << content_tag('strong', "#{l("field_#{attribute}")}: ") + (issue.send attribute)
        else
          items << "#{l("field_#{attribute}")}: #{issue.send attribute}" 
        end
      end
    end
