First of all i said v2 not v3 .  I use v2 and the question seems to talk about v3.

Secondly, of course i tried it .  I even posted something quite similar in the question it doesnt work at all. I tried everything i saw on the internt  .

Thirdly as mentioned in the question in our self hosted jira we dont have IDs for users.

When trying something like this as in the page you reffered me :

payload = json.dumps({  "body": {    "type": "mention",    "attrs": {      "text": "@my name",      "userType": "APP"    }  }})I get the same  error: '"errorMessages": [        "Can not deserialize instance of java.'

Hi @Benny Horowitz

Here's a reference link that will help you

Syntax is similar to the one which is used in cloud

Thanks,
