Send @ mentions to groups

Question

Is it possible to send @ mentions to groups in the internal JIRA directory that contain JIRA members?
Or do I have to create the group as a person in the internal JIRA directory?
That would be bad, because in this case every group would need an additional JIRA license.

Thanks and best Regards

Hey @Andreas Langwaldt

We just released an app that allows you to do just that on the Marketplace :)

Details here

Look forward to all your feedback.

Dear @Andreas Langwaldt,

that's the concept of Jira. It works strongly on that user count. Licenses for more users will cost more.

You can give the marketplace.atlassian.com a try. There could be a plugin, that help's, but for sure it will be commercial.

So long

Hi Thomas,

thank you for your answer.
I have also created a JIRA account for the mail group.
The disadvantage is that many JIRA licenses are used unnecessarily for many mailgroups because each members also uses one license.

If there's no other solution, I'll have to live with it.
