Diagnosis
This article addresses how to configure a default custom Release Notes template to use.
Resolution
With the custom Release Notes template already configured as in Creating Release Notes, you can set the default custom template to use by adding the following line to jira-config.properties:
1 2 3jira.releasenotes.templatenames = foo, bar jira.releasenotes.templates = releasenotes-foo.vm, releasenotes-bar.vm, jira.releasenotes.default = fooℹ️ In the above example we use the "jira.releasenotes.default" setting in the properties file to set 'foo' to be the default custom Release Notes template to use.
