Anyone else noticing strange formatting in Jamf email alerts? Seems they redesigned them during the update this past Friday.

Getting strange characters and really poor formatting. Hard to read.

Looks like it is a bug that is causing new lines to not display on emails that are sent out.  This puts everything on the same line, which renders badly.

Yes, I'm seeing the same issue with our Jamf Cloud instance with 10.47.0.  Has anyone made a Jamf Support ticket yet?

Pardon my ignorance... but what is the best avenue for reporting bugs like this to Jamf?

I usually just email them support at jamf.com

I saw on Slack that there is an existing product issue for the effects of this change. If there is a way to provide feedback and affirm that it is indeed an issue that affects our existing workflows, I'd like to complain more formally. But I also don't want to bother the support folks by opening a ticket. They didn't cause the issue in the first place and I know they won't have a way to fix it.

I opened one too. I was told there's no ETA on when this will be fixed.  

I was told to keep an eye on their release notes page: https://learn.jamf.com/bundle/jamf-pro-release-notes-current/page/New_Features_and_Enhancements.html

 

Not very helpful Jamf...

 

 

edit: missed a word: *no eta

Open the ticket.  It's the only real way for them to gauge impact of the issue.  Support can easily throw it on the back burner and not provide any updates like they're doing with me. :)

It got better in 10.49 (removed all the extra   n""n""n""n""). I've been told the formatting should be fixed for the version AFTER 10.50.

Better in v11.0.1, but STILL not fixed.  Now there's too much whitespace.  Come on Jamf, is this really so hard to get fixed??

 

Here's a sample from June 19, 2023 (I don't recall what jamf version)

 

Here's one from today (Oct 30, 2023) on the new, way to bright, v11.0.1.  Notice that it's double spaced:
