Context object for name of 'mover' in immediate_general email template

In the 'immediate_general' email template, I'm looking for the context object for the user who moves a post. So if $notification.moved then I need to get the username of the user who moved the message.

 

I've tried the following without luck:

$actorLogin
$notification.message.actor.login
$notification.actor.login
$notification.message.lastEditUser.login

The reason_box template simply uses $actorLogin.

 

This current documentation for the Velocity email templates does not cover this topic (among many others): https://community.lithium.com/t5/Developer-Knowledge-Base/Email-template-context-objects/ta-p/75924

    ttadej-

     

    Could you please try below context object.

     

    ${notification.message.author.login}

     

     On a default immediate_general email template this context object is being used. 

     

    #set ( $eventUser = "${notification.message.author.login}")
#set ( $eventUserRanking = "${notification.message.author.ranking.name}")
#if ($notification.moved)
	#if ($notification.merged)
		#set ($eventText = "merged a")
	#else
		#set ($eventText = "moved a")
	#end
#else

      Thanks but that doesn't give me the name of the person who moved the post, it gives me the name of the author of the post.

        ttadej- As you have tried all the possible context object which shown below and no other context object is mentioned on the documentation.

        $actorLogin
        $notification.message.actor.login
        $notification.actor.login
        $notification.message.lastEditUser.login

        Open a ticket to lithium support for this. Or if it is not available post an idea here.
