Notifications use field name instead of label for custom fields

Reported by: jflorian@… Owned by: eblot
Priority: normal Milestone: 0.12
Component: notification Version: 0.9.3
Severity: minor Keywords: custom fields i18n labels
Cc: trac.dev@…

Description

While it is very nice to have the custom fields appear in the notification mail, it would be better if they used the label given to them instead.

Often the field name is an abbreviation that can be quite confusing for most of our users whereas the labels would be something they'd recognize immediately.

  • keywords i18n labels added

It is exactly as we do it on the regular fields also for web ui, so either we need to change the current practice for all fields, or else this won't make sense.

However, with current i18n effort underway, I suppose this is also related to that as it for many will make the default labels and fieldnames very different. Currently all labels and field names are the same (except capitalization) - that won't be the case later.

... not to mention the fact that currently it's the same mail sent to everyone, and that with i18n we probably need to partition the recipient list according to their language and send as many differently translated mails as needed.
