Overview of who I have mentioned in jira issues.

[jeroen_wilmes]

I use the "@ mention" often to ask people for information or to take some actions.

Is there a way that I can list all the @mentions  that I have raised?

I looking for a way to list all my outstanding questions/actions that not yet have been followed up by the people that I asked to do something.

I know the other way around to find all the @mentions that are directed to me, but that is not what I'm looking for in this case.

Hi @jeroen_wilmes,

I'm afraid that's a pretty tough ask, since @mentions to other people are pretty unstructured  and free-form data that can be in all kinds of fields in Jira. Anyone in your organisation can be mentioned, in any text field on issues and by anyone else in your organisation. Since there is no link to who created that mention, even if it would be straightforward (which it is not) to find a list of issues with mentions, there still isn't a way to trace who the mentioning user was.

As a workaround for your underlying ambition to track work you're waiting for, using the watch issue function on issues might prove useful. If you do indeed want to follow up on work you need from other people, watching issues allows you to filter like this:

watcher = currentUser() and assignee != currentUser() and resolution = unresolved

The above JQL would return all open issues that you are watching and that have an assignee that is not you. It also leverages the more structured assignee field to indicate who is currently in charge of the issue, which is also much clearer than just a mention.

Hope this helps!

Thanks @Walter Buggenhout  for confirming of what I was afraid of. Indeed a to complex situation. Your query can be helpful, thanks for that.
