Unable to mention the Reporter in a Jira Automation rule

Tiara Pequeno November 5, 2025

Hi,
I’m trying to mention the Reporter (issue creator) in a Jira Automation rule, but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried several smart values, including:
@{{issue.reporter.displayName}} and @{{issue.reporter}}, but the comment is posted without mentioning the user.
Could you please confirm the correct way to mention the Reporter dynamically in an automation comment action?

Hi, @Tiara Pequeno 

You can mention the reporter in a Jira Automation comment by using this syntax:

[~accountid:{{issue.reporter.accountId}}]

This will correctly mention the issue reporter when the rule runs.

Kind regards,
Anthony
