Through the REST API and using the new UUID, how do you @mention a user in a comment

[Will Baizer]

Ever since Bitbucket made the GDPR changes just adding a `@nickname` has not worked in successfully mentioning a use

If I were to make a POST call to `/2.0/repositories/{username}/{repo_slug}/pullrequests/{pull_request_id}/comments` what do I need to put in my message body to successfully @ a certain user where I have their `UUID` and `account_id`?

Hi all,

I wrote this article which you might find useful:

Mention a user in a PR comment using the Bitbucket REST API 

It shows an example of how to mention a user in a comment using this Forge app.

The answer is to format it like this

@{account_id}
