      Problem definition

      Agents are not able to mention the request participants via @username as the participants will not show up in the list. Until they have added a comment, it's possible to mention the participants as the commenters.

      Steps to reproduce the issue

      1. Add a customer as the request participant.
      2. As an Agent, try to mention the request participant using @username in the Jira issue view of the request.
      3. As the request participant, add a comment to the request.
      4. As an Agent, try to mention the request participant again using @username in the Jira issue view of the request.

      Expected result

      It's possible to mention the request participant even he/she hasn't added any comments yet.

      Actual result

      It's not possible to mention the request participant if he/she hasn't added any comments yet.

      Workaround

      As of Jira Service Management Data Center version 4.18 you can use @mentions on the customer portal. Mentioned users will be added as request participants, ensuring that these participants can be mentioned on the portal without them needing to have first made a comment on the request.
