Hi @Tarieli Gvritishvili ,

Good day!

To add the mentioned user(s) in comments to Watchers, you can use https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/465473524/Event-based+actions. Under Event-based actions, select the 'Issue commented' event and then specify the scope of projects and issue types. In the post functions, select the 'Set issue fields' post function https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/465504849/Set+issue+fields.

In 'Set issue fields', add the field as watcher and in the watcher field, add the following code:

{% set text = context.comment.body %}

{% set regex = r/accountid:[a-z0-9]+/g %}
{% set matches = text.match(regex) %}

{% if matches %}
{% set transformed_matches = [] %}
{% for match in matches %}
{% set transformed_match = match.replace('accountid:', 'accountId:') %}
{% set test = transformed_matches.push(transformed_match)%}
{% endfor %}
{% set formatted_ids = transformed_matches | join(',') %}
{{ formatted_ids }}
{% endif %}

Note: Please make sure you select options to append values to the field.

Thanks,
Teja
