Email template changes in Alfresco - alfresco

Question

I'm trying to edit the link of the task-edit of the e-mail that is sent to the assignees of the task. I see that in the file wf-emails.html.ftl but in Data Dictionary -> Email Templates -> Workflow Notification inside Alfresco admin account. How can I edit this file through a module of Alfresco (all-in-one for example, in the amp's)...
I put in the
module-context.xml
<bean id="customSpacesBootstrap" parent="spacesStoreImporter" singleton="true" >
<property name="useExistingStore">
<value>true</value>
</property>
<property name="bootstrapViews">
<list>
<props>
<prop key="path">/${spaces.company_home.childname}/${spaces.dictionary.childname}/${spaces.templates.email.childname}</prop>
<prop key="location">alfresco/module/repo-amp/bootstrap/config_email_templates.xml</prop>
</props>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
config_email_templates.xml
<view:view xmlns:view="http://www.alfresco.org/view/repository/1.0"
xmlns:cm="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" xmlns:app="http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0"
xmlns:emailserver="http://www.alfresco.org/model/emailserver/1.0">
<cm:folder view:childName="cm:My First Folder">
<app:uifacets />
<cm:name>My First Folder</cm:name>
<app:icon>space-icon-default</app:icon>
<cm:title>My First Folder</cm:title>
<cm:description></cm:description>
<cm:contains>
<cm:content view:childName="cm:custom_email_template.ftl">
<view:aspects>
<cm:titled />
<cm:author />
<app:inlineeditable />
</view:aspects>
<view:properties>
<app:editInline>true</app:editInline>
<cm:description>This is a custom email template.</cm:description>
<cm:content>contentUrl=classpath:alfresco/module/repo-amp/bootstrap/custom_email_template.ftl|mimetype=text/plain|size=|encoding=UTF-8|locale=en_US_</cm:content>
<cm:title>My first email template</cm:title>
<cm:author>Me</cm:author>
<cm:name>custom_email_template.ftl</cm:name>
</view:properties>
<view:associations></view:associations>
</cm:content>
</cm:contains>
</cm:folder>
</view:view>
And in the
custom_email_templates.ftl
I put the template with edits.
But the email doesn't edits.
How can I do this?

From Alfresco documentation :
XML imports can only replace/update/delete files that have their UUID set.
If you want to replace an existing node, you'll have to look more about import strategy :
<bean id="myModule.bootstrap" class="org.alfresco.repo.module.ImporterModuleComponent" parent="module.baseComponent">
<property name="uuidBinding">
<value>REPLACE_EXISTING</value>
</property>
...
Of course, you'll need to know the uuid of the file you want to replace :
<view:properties>
<sys:node-uuid>b7c6b88a-e5fd-4ccf-b134-69a2460c3b89</sys:node-uuid>
....

Here:
Alfresco Login Reset Repo AMP
https://github.com/teqnology/alfresco-login-reset-repo
you'll find the source code example of how to add a custom email template.
More specifically, the email template is located here in the file named:
alfresco-email-template-bootstrap.acp
In the end, here is the file service-context.xml which contains the info on how to import such bootstrap file of your custom acp (with your custom email template in it).
'
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
Long story short you should have this setup in your maven project:
Your email template packed as an acp (you can use the old Alfrecso Explorer interface to export your ftl templates): src/main/amp/config/alfresco/bootstrap/emailtemplate.acp
Your service-context.xml file declaring the bootstrap import of said acp file here: src/main/amp/config/alfresco/module/<yourmoduleid>/context/service-context.xml
From there you're free to use it through Alfresco JS API, eg:
var mailTemplates = search.xpathSearch("/app:company_home/app:dictionary/app:email_templates/cm:custom-email-template/cm:youremailtemplate.ftl");
if(mailTemplates.length > 0){
mail.parameters.template = mailTemplates[0];
}else{
mail.parameters.text = "Rollback to plain text if template is not found";
}
