Hi lilim,

 

what does "testing" in your case mean? If you use the send a test email from the template editor view in studio, you will always get a random board for the ${coreNode.title} context object. I think this happens while the studio does not have any context, like boards, categories etc. Usually the "trigger" of the mail is a board object which has a board context.

 

Using the coreNode object for your use case seems not correct, because the coreNode object is always replaced with current active node. For example if you working on board level (e.g. on board "LabVIEW Add-Ons") the ${coreNode.title} object will return "LabVIEW Add-Ons".

 

Maybe you could use something like

 

${coreNode.ancestors}

to show the parent of the board in your mail template. Check the freemarker context objects for more information.

 

I'm not sure if the ancestors property could be used within mail templates.

 

Regards,
