Description (last modified by Ryan J Ollos)

The previous ticket values are not available in the notification system. When a ticket is created, ticket.insert is called. When a ticket is updated, ticket.save_changes is called. Both of those function reset ticket._old.

I'm unsure what the best approach is to fix the issue. Should we just copy the ticket object before calling save_changes and pass the copy to TicketNotifyEmail.notify?

Milestone: 1.2 → 1.3.1

The new notification system provides a more elegant way to fix the issue. We can pass to the template the ticket changes contained in the event.changes attribute. An "old" value can then be accessed through, for example: changes.fields['status']['old]. The implementation is much easier following the refactoring of the notification code that has been prepared in #11901. Proposed changes in [970cec69/rjollos.git]. Included are test cases based on the request in ​SO:32473999. I used the request as an example of a sufficiently complex ticket_subject_template.
