      Problem Definition

      There is no way to search via JQL to get accurate results in regards to issues / comments were a user has been @Mentioned For example, users have noted that you can sometimes get results for an advanced JQL query such as

      comment ~ currentUser()

      However the ~ operator is unsupported for use with that function per Advanced searching - functions reference - Atlassian Documentation.

      Also trying to search with a more basic set of terms like 

      comment ~ username

      can sometimes return results, but it is not providing consistent expected results (sometimes you see @ mentions here but not always), and there does not appear to be a way to search via JQL for message content that includes @mentions

      Suggested Solution

      • Creating a JQL function that can search for @ Mentions would be ideal
      • Or extending the comment field to be searchable by user accounts mentioned within it

      Why this is important

      It would be very helpful to be able to search, filter, and generally organize issues where you have been mentioned directly.

      Workaround

      None

      Original description

      Would like to be able to create a filter to track my AT mentions

            Seems an obvious capability in search, please add it.

            we need this feature also - I think 11 years and a lot of votes should be enough for the development?

            +1 - we really need this! Guessing from the age of this ticket though (11 YEARS??) we're not going to get it.

            If you click on a user's @-mention to get to their profile page, the ID String after [yourdomain].atlassian.net/jira/people/ works - just search on text ~ s324944fg439rh34thh349 (whatever it is ) and that will give you issues where that user is @ -mentioned in comments.

            Every user could benefit from this.  Not every user is familiar with JQL and this is a must have for every user so collaboration is effective within Jira.
