I was working on customizing the help menu for our OOD instance based on the directions here: https://osc.github.io/ood-documentation/latest/customizations.html#add-urls-to-help-menu I was trying to set the OOD_DASHBOARD_SUPPORT_EMAIL value and expected it to show up in the help menu. It wasn’t and it seems based on this past issue it should not show up: [image] Adding Support Email and URL to Help Menu Get Help I’ve added a support email and URL to /etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/env, per the customization documentation. But I only get a “Contact Support” link in the dashboard dropdown help menu that points to the support URL. I am using version 1.6. According to this past ticket it sounded like maybe that support email bit was going to be removed from this portion of the documentation but it hasn’t been. I’d like to suggest that it be removed so there’s less confusion about what should or should not be showing in the help menu.

Yes you’re right - here’s a quote from that topic. Thanks for letting us know!

I’ll remove this line from that table in the documentation.
