      Atlassian Update: April 30, 2019

      Hi all,

      Thank you for your continued feedback and support on this issue.

      We're currently doing some research to better understand how we can solve this problem and how organisations use groups. We'd love to hear from you if you are able to provide any more context on this topic. Your feedback will go a long way to helping shape the roadmap and solutions we build.

      If you're interested, please email twalsh@atlassian.com and I'll schedule a quick chat with you.

      Regards,
      Tamarah Walsh
      Product Designer, Atlassian

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

            Is there a way to link the team with the user group?

            It's too tedious to maintain up-to-date same info in two different places

            We need the ability to tag groups - because otherwise there is no way to "bulk tag" guest users. Guests can't be in teams, they can be in a group - and therefore ability to tag groups is needed.

            My use case: I create SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) on Confluence. I mentioned the user that need to be kept up to date with @ mention on the document so that they get the update notifications. It would be easier to create groups and manage them this way.

            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.

            Dear Confluence Developers/Product Managers,

            How many votes do you need for this feature? Mentioning works with users and teams, you could probably easily add the groups to this list, and hundreds of users would be happier. This is an easy win.
