      Atlassian status as of September 21, 2018

      Hi all,

      Thanks for voting on this issue and providing us with your feedback. We've revisited this suggestion, and unfortunately this isn't something we'll be looking at developing within the next 12 months.

      From reading your comments, we fully appreciate that this feature is important to many of you. We're interested in understanding further why you want to mention groups on a page as opposed to sharing the page with them. 

      There are a couple of workarounds (mentioned by others in this thread) that may be of help to you in the meantime:

      Best wishes,
      Jenny Millman | Senior Product Manager - Confluence Server

            [CONFSERVER-23015] Extend 'Mentions' to work with groups as well

            Hey there Is there any chance to get this function in the future? To be undone since 2011 seems not so, i guess ^^ Thanks Rouven

            This would make things so much easier for us, some of our groups are VERY large, and it is TEDIOUS to have to mention 40+ users on pages, it is also looks terrible on the page. Suggesting we add them as Watchers is just as bad, again it's tedious time consuming work for medium size organizations where they may have to communicate updates to entire departments. Dummy accounts aren't a good solution as you are requiring us to use one of OUR seats to address an out of the box function that seems pretty logical to have available.

            Further, requesting that we purchase an APP to resolve this is no better. There are a lot of great features within Atlassian tools, but it is constantly concerning that simple functionality is pushed off for features that aren't necessary. Instead of the new Whiteboard function I would have been happy with the dozens of issues that we all wish were addressed.

            Appreciate you Atlassian, but it would be great to see the organization prioritize at the minimum at least one Quarter to JUST low hanging fruit like this for your long time users.

            Funny enough Confluence cloud has this feature while lacking many others

            I have never seen a company with so little respect for the user base that keeps them in business. They feel they are too big to fail but as many others who thought that found out, there is always someone who will come and knock you down and by then it is too late to suddenly give a damn because now it affects you not the users.

            @Ian Godfrey - I'm pretty sure that you can stop telling arguments to Atlassian. They succesfully ignored this FR over 10 !!! years. They still dont give a fxxx what their customers need.

            I'm still thinking whats the job/skill of Jenny Millman - the so called "Product Manager" – blind, deaf and dumb and highly experience at ignoring people... .

            They just wait - as they did here - for people like Dirk, who solve this problem. So they got a win-win-win situation. The problem is solved, they dont do anything AND they get their piece of the cake for every licence Dirk sells... thats customer orientation at his best.

            The reason why this feature is required, is because the owner of a page is a group of people, who the reader doesn't know. The author of the page or the last person to modify it may no longer exist, so who would they contact?
