Adding @mention in a comment using Pythong

[dantag01]

Hello,

I have a script the adds a comment to a list of issues. I am also trying to use @mention in that comment through the script. However, it won't actually initiate the mention when I run the script. I just get the text @firstname lastname without that person getting tagged (i.e. text is black not a link).

Is there a way to do this?

Below is my code:

for issue in filter_proj:   
    assignee = issue.fields.assignee
    comment = jira.add_comment(issue, 'Thanks for the quick response, @{}'.format(assignee))

Hi there! 

It will work in this way:

jira.add_comment(issue , "Please, provide an update [~{}]".format (project['lead']))

Use ~ instead of @

Thanks

is there any way to mention assignee and reporter using add_comment()

jira.add_comment(issue, "thanks @assignee @reporter")  something like this?

@dantag01did you find any solution?
