Parameter %TASKNAME does not work in Mail Subject

Post by xgon »

the %TASKNAME tag does not work, apparently is replaced by blank text.

testing with setting Mail subject = "Backup: %TASKNAME"
and the emails arrive with the subject "Backup:"

thanks for your help

A test is not a task, so there is no "task name"

Hello Luis, sorry for the confusion but I mean that I am testing with that data, not that I am testing the sending of mail.

I confirm that the emails of all the backup tasks that I have scheduled arrive with the subject without the expected "TaskName"

thanks

OK, sorry, but for %TASKNAME to work the mails must be send "When a task is done". This is the only case when the %TASKNAME has a meaning.

Hi Brother,
How do I include the task name in the mail log subject?
On some PCs it is showing up, without having to enter %TASKNAME in the subject field, but on others it doesn't.

The option send after a task is already set.

GREAT JOB, Man.
