Solution
- Stop Jira
- Go to $JIRA_HOME/plugins/.osgi-plugins/transformed-plugins (We recommend performing this action using Terminal or CMD)
Edit the jira-invite-user-plugin-X.X.X_XXXXXX.jar file (the X's will be a different number, depending on your version)
We will use the vim editor for this workaround, but, you can use your preferential tool to edit the .jar file.Type enter on jira-invite-user-plugin.properties to edit it
- Scroll-down until inviteuser.email.jira.invitation.body then edit this section as your preference. You can paste URL's on it if you prefer
- Save the file
- Start your Jira
- Perform an invitation test, to make sure that the customization worked
