How to show full email address of reporter / request participant

Question

Hi

we'd like to have full email address displayed in the fields Reporter and Request Participants. is there a way to do that?

as of now we only see the part before the @ sign. for we've added users using only email address and nothing else.

hard to send example because of privacy issues.

any suggestion is welcome, thanks

It is really a shame and a pain in the ass... in which world does Atlassian have unique names over thousands of contacts?

This needs to be addressed asap, no matter how.
At least a baloon tip or something would help.

Otherwise I cannot be sure if I send confidential information to someone unauthorized.

mentions in comments, comment body sent in email through Automation, shows user account id - Can that be changed?

I am not aware of a way to change that. The email shows the account ID whether the format is html or plain text.

The only method I can think of would be to parse the comment body and do your own steps to replace the account IDs with names, and then put the modified text into an email instead of the original comment.

You might want to start a new Question post for that topic to see if anybody else has other ideas.

Thanks

that brings another question, is when I send out automation emails using the smart value {{issue.comments.reverse}} and a comment contains an      @     let me use yours in this case. @Trudy P Claspill which shows correctly in the web interface, but in the email sent out instead of the format we see here, we see this: [~accountid:12341341345JIRA-ACCOUNT-IDNUMBERS] where of course after ~accountid: there's an actual jira account id.

there's no way to change this either right?
