Jira Automation: Possible to tag assignee in comment?

[Tim Graffam]

Is it possible to tag the issue assignee in a Comment in a Jira Automation rule? 

I know the {{assignee.displayName}} smart value will include the assignee's name, but I haven't figured out how to have that show up as a tag.

Thanks!

Hi there Tim,

You should be able to mention the assignee using one of the smart values below, note that mentions in cloud now use an account id but server does not.

Jira Server:

Hi [~{{assignee}}]

Jira Cloud:

Hi [~accountid:{{assignee.accountId}}]

[Tim Graffam]

Perfect. Thank you!

This is what it looks like.

[~accountid:{{issue.assignee.accountId}}]

You need to reference where you are calling the assignee from. In most cases I assume you'd need "issue" but could be "linkedissue" for example.

Tim, suggested one is not working for me.

[~accountid:{{issue.assignee.accountId}}] 

 Its showing like below,

[~{{assignee}}] worked great for Jira Data Center automation.

Tim, Did you get the solution?

[{{reporter.displayName}}|~accountid:{{reporter}}] - This worked for me, it tagged the reporter of the ticket

[JM Flores]

Worked perfectly, thanks

Assignee [~accountid:{{assignee}}]
Reporter [~accountid:{{Reporter}}]
