Able to filter on tickets where a user is mentioned/tagged in any comments

[Ben Weisman]

Hello,

  Is it possible within JQL to create a filter that returns any tickets where a specific user is mentioned/tagged in any of the comments?

Thanks.

Hi @Ben Weisman 

Whilst it's not a built in feature - view/vote for it here: JRACLOUD-27594 - I do find this JQL works some of the time...

comment ~ "<<User ID>>"

---

^ To locate the User ID either...

• Go to People > Search people and teams
• Search for the user you wish to include in the query
• In the URL bar, copy the ID - it will be the alphanumeric phrase after /jira/people/

Or...

• Go to Filters > Advanced Issue Search
• In the search bar, put: assignee = "User" 
  • User should be the person you want to search for in the Comments
• The ID which appears in place of the person's name is the alphanumeric phrase needed

---

You can also use currentuser() for yourself - for example...

comment ~ currentUser()
