Changing the project by email

Added by Russell Rose about 11 years ago

Hi there

I have set up my Redmine to receive email via postfix and it generally it is working fine. Within /etc/aliases I allow override of project, but when I reply to an email notification and set the project, it is ignored (I used the identfier)

Do you use the rdm-mailhandler (RedmineReceivingEmails) script?

Within /etc/aliases I allow override of project

Please post your alias config line

but when I reply to an email notification and set the project, it is ignored (I used the identfier)

Please post an example of the email body you're sending.

Here is the entry line in /etc/aliases:

issues: "|/opt/srv/www/redmine-2.3.2/extra/mail_handler/rdm-mailhandler.rb --url http://<website> --tracker support --allow-override tracker,priority,project --key <key> --project incomingissues --no-permission-check"

I have attached the mail handler script (unchanged)

Here is the sample text for the email:

Project: passfield
Status: Awaiting Client
This is a test update for switching project from incomingissues to our own project identifier

rdm-mailhandler.rb (7.42 KB) rdm-mailhandler.rb

mail handler used in configuration

From RedmineReceivingEmails:

allow email content to override attributes specified by previous options

I'm not sure, but two things come to mind:

Does it work if you specify the --allow-override after specifying the default project?
Is the tracker "support" active in the specified project?

Tried putting the override after, but makes no difference. I used the text:

Project: passfield
Status: Awaiting Passfield
Something to say

It picked up the status change and I've checked the database for the identifier. Support tracker is active in all projects

Sorry, no idea... Is the project identifier 100% correct?

If I get it right, the project of a ticket cannot be changed if the ticket already exists.

The function issue_attributes_from_keywords defines which attributes can be set. project is separately handled only in function receive_issue, but not in function receive_issue_reply

Just in case you're come accross this old thread but have the same issue.
