Not sure it’s applicable, but there used to be a requirement that any field 
included in an email notification had to have Public read permissions.  Not 
likely to be the problem, but it couldn’t hurt to check.

Hi,

Did you check if your custom AL looked up and set those two field before it 
notifies?

Subject: Filter Notify Action Dropping Fields

**
We run Remedy as totally customized on Solaris and Oracle.  For about the last 
10 years, there is a filter associated with our Help Desk form that performs a 
notify to our maintenance contract vendor, via email, to repair our faulty 
equipment.  In the text of the Notify action, I basically have 3 fields:  1) 
$Requester Data$ – which is a concatenation of Name, Phone, Address, City, Zip, 
etc. of the requester, 2) $Equipment Data$ - which is a concatenation of Asset 
Tag, Serial Number, Description, Model, Purchase Date, etc. and 3) the Short 
Description of the problem.  The $Requester Data$ and $Equipment Data$ fields 
are populated by an AL when the lookup occurs for the requester and for the 
equipment.

Last month, we upgraded from 7.6.4 to 8.1.2.  Even though $Requester Data$ and 
$Equipment Data$ are listed in the text of the notify, they show up blank in 
the email.
What the notify used to look like (and what it should be now):

     John Smith
     407-555-8776
     9999 South Orange Blossom Trail
     Orlando District Office & Work Center
     Orlando -- 32809-7999

     Asset Tag = 00096944
     Serial = 1F4J3XX
     PC Dell Notebook Quad Core 2.5 GHz
     Model Number = HD7RD
     Model Description = Latitude E6430
     Purchase Date = 5/7/2013
     Maint Code = C

     Problem Description:
       Dell Latitude E6430 00096944, bad Video Card, Dell Diagnostics reports 
Error2000-0332, Validation: 75863

What it looks like now:

     Problem Description:
       Dell Latitude E6430 00096944, bad Video Card, Dell Diagnostics reports 
Error2000-0332, Validation: 75863


In subsequent testing, I can create the same information if I list the fields 
individually – with the exception of the Purchase Date.  This field comes from 
another field of the type Timestamp, where I have set the field as 
DATE($Purchase Date) to strip off the time of day.  It seems that concatenating 
or running a Function to create a value in a field causes the Notify to ignore 
that field when it generates the email message.  Can anyone shed some light on 
this issue?

Thanks,
