I have suddenly discovered JIRAs @mention facility and did think this would be really slick as when I create the issue, I can get Automation to add in a text comment with the @<User> as part of the text - however, without the auto fill facility of it in use at this point, it appears not to work. In regular comments, you can hover when it auto fills and I have put in the login name in the same manner as it uses.
Is there any way of using it here?
thanks

Hello @Sue Bridges
Which user do you want to mention? Reporter or specific user?
You want this rule to alert user or add a specific comment?
A little more detail if you can.
Thanks,
BR, Olga
Hi Olga,
Statndard JIRA used here. Specific User at the moment (though can you do a User Group?)
Initially alert the User, and I was adding in a Comment to try and make the @mention work. So, give them the issue reference, and title.
Ideally my aim would be to:-
- notify the User (but not assign them the issue currently).
- keep them updated on any comments added to the issue (presumably another Automation rule will sort that).
This scenario works if I create the issue, use Automation to auto assign the issue to the User so that they are e-mailed and then chain a second rule to assign the issue back to the Reporter. This just seemed like quite a bit of processing overhead (not an issue in our system, but that's not the point) once I'd discovered the mention facility.
Hope this helps?
Regards
Sue
