Add mention in comment to watchers/participants

[Bartek dro]

Hi,

How can i automatically add some user as participant or watcher on issue if i @mention them in comment ?

Hi @Bartek dro 

You should be able to do it using Scriptrunner, maybe automation for JIRA as well.

For Scriptrunner it would be a listener on MentionIssueCommentEvent:

event.getToUsers()*.getUsername()

Could you show me what the entire script will look like?
I'm a total beginner.

Hi

I do not have currently any instance to do some test.

 This script should do what you are loking for.

import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.WatcherManager

WatcherManager watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()

UserManager userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

event.getToUsers()*.getUsername().each{ userNameMentioned ->

        ApplicationUser userMentioned userManager.getUserByName(userNameMentioned)

        if(userMentioned){

            watcherManager.startWatching(userMentioned, event.getIssue())

        }

}

Regards
