Question about reporting using @mentions

[Jon Exume]

Looking to see if anyone has had this request.  I am trying to make a report which filters on mentions.  Basically this report would need to be changed per user where any ticket that they are mentioned in would show up in a dashboard they can view.  Has anyone had experience with this?  Thanks in advance.

Hello there Jon!

You can try using this JQL inside the Jira Issues Macro:

reporter = currentUser() OR assignee = currentUser() OR description ~ currentUser() OR comment ~ currentUser()

This query should show all issues related to the current user if:

• The user is the reporter (reporter = currentUser())
• The user is the assignee (assignee = currentUser())
• The user is mentioned under the description (escription ~ currentUser())
• The user is mentioned in the comments (comment ~ currentUser())

The ~ means we are looking at something that might CONTAIN an specific value. So, if the comment section contains the. current user mention at some point, this query should return that issue.

Here you should be able to extract more information about JQl!
