Mention Other Users

Last modified: 17 December 2019

The ability to @mention another user is a popular feature in messaging and team collaboration tools. This feature lets you call the attention of a specific user to an issue or draw them into a conversation.

In YouTrack, you can mention users by username in an issue description or comment. There are several ways that you can use this feature.

  • In an issue description, enter the @ symbol and begin typing the user login or full name. YouTrack filters the list of users as you type.

  • Use the same syntax to mention another user in a comment.

  • To reply to another user who has added a comment to the issue, use the Reply option.

    This inserts the username of comment author in the input field for a new comment.

When you mention another user, the @username is set as a link to the user profile of the mentioned user.
