Hi @secuverse,

It's not possible to mention a group in Jira, so it means it's not possible to mention a group in your API call. Basic Jira features don't allow us to do that.

You can maybe get users from group with this endpoint, and than make a loop that goes through that users and mentions every user in description.

I hope this helps.

Hello, @Marko Blagus .
Thank you for your reply!

The group I mentioned was a team. Still not mentioned?
If not mentioned team, what are the additional features that allow me to mention groups in the API?

Hello @secuverse

Welcome to the community!

Unfortunately, it's not possible to mention a group in Jira.

Request for that was raised couple of years ago, as you can see on this link.

Maybe there is some add-on that lets you do that.

Best regards,
