Obtaining @username(mentioning). Here user is the one who initiates the automation or triggers it.

Hi, I have created an automation where a comment will be added mentioning @initiator but when I use {{initiator.accountId}}, it's not mentioning the initiated user but it is giving user ID something like this " @62fb76b9e2b1b5ae159a8ba8. So how can I get user name?

Thanks.

Hi @MahanthPrudhvi ,

based on the following article https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-users/ you could use {{initiator.displayName}}.

To mention someone you should use [~accountId:{{initiator.accountId}}]

Hi @Mathieu Truchot 

I am using [~accountId:{{initiator.accountId}}] because it has to trigger a  mail as well.

Thanks for your suggestion.
