I found a resolution here, i changed the text

from 

%%issue.Reporter%% setting this jira to validation, kindly validate and close/Pilot/Release them.

If you are facing any issue, kindly reach out to the related developer if this is a development related Jira

to 

[~%%issue.Reporter%%] setting this jira to validation, kindly validate and close/Pilot/Release them.

If you are facing any issue, kindly reach out to the related developer if this is a development related Jira

By introducting [~] i am able to resolve this issue

Shouldn't it be something like issue.reporter.displayName or reporter.displayName?

@Wouter van den Berg thank you for the reply. But just to be clear i am not using automation but rather post fuction in workflow as such i am still getting below error for both scenarios

I know. I was just spitballing a few options but good to read you found the missing part. and issue.Reporter was good.
