Hi
I've just saw your reply today. Strange I do not receive any notifications about your response from this forum.

Thank you for your suggestion. It actually worked.
But when I add a enum field to the detail layout, the "field for variables" changes to a standard text field.
can you help?

open application/Espo/Resources/layouts/EmailTemplate/detail.json
and custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/layouts/EmailTemplate/detail.json

and check the difference

New Work Order {Quote.name} was Created by {Account.createdBy}

please refer to your CRM account for your input or/Approval Approval

{User.name}

{WorkOrder.account.name}

{WorkOrder.name}

{WorkOrder.account.name}

{WorkOrder.name}

Hello Maan.

This comment is not related to topic. Better to create own one.
But... How do you send an email (with workflow, compose in detail view (which one view), or other way)?

Hi, I do not recommend to follow this approach. In my case it did not work but instead screwed up the Email Template layout json-file.
