[Anthill-Pro] email template - finding the name of the branch

[Antoine Levy-Lambert]

Hello Eric,

I have tried your suggestion and it works. However, the output of BuildOwner.getBranch().getName() seems to be the concatenation of the project name and of the branch name itself. I was looking at the branch name only. Is it BuildOwner.getBranch().getBranchName() ?

Regards,

Antoine
