How to insert current year in Notification

[AdamSaniS]

Hi Experts!

Good day everyone. My team and I require advice on how to insert Current year (e.g.: 2026) in our email subject & content.

For example:

Subject: Annual Review 2026

Message: Hi All, kindly review your RCSA for 2026

We have this email scheduled for every year but need expert's help on how to insert the current year in Subject and Message for email notification configuration in "What it will contain" section. Thank you so much for your kindness, time and support. 

Thanks and I really appreciate it!

@AdamSaniS 

you will have to use email script to set the subject with the current year etc

Don't set it via notification level.

Something like this

(function runMailScript(current, template, email, email_action, event) {

	// Add your code here
	var currentYear = new GlideDateTime().getYearUTC();
	var subject = 'Annual Review ' + currentYear;
	email.setSubject(subject);

})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

Hi Ankur,

Many thanks for your response. I have tried to do email script before, but it failed to reflect when I put the script into my email message. How do I reflect the email script into my notification message? Thank you so much for your help - I feel so grateful
