Hi there,

Can someone help me in modifying the script, so that when there is incoming sync of comments from Server/DC to cloud Jira it should convert user mentions in the cloud format so that it updates properly in the comments?

I have managed to do this on Server/DC Jira when there is incoming sync from the cloud. However, I am facing difficulties while doing the same for the cloud.

Please help me with this.

Thanks,

Eshwar.

Hey, Eshwar Palem, might I ask you to share your Outgoing sync script from on-prem
and your incoming sync script for cloud (maybe just the parts concerning comments)?

Also have you seen this article?
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Agile-articles/How-to-sanitize-mentions-when-synchronizing-issues/ba-p/1141139
you could replace every mention sent from server with email:

/*
** This code snippet illustrates how mentions can be replaced with the actual name of the mentionee
** Use this in a data filter
*/


replica.comments	   = issue.comments.collect {
			  comment ->
              

              def matcher  = comment.body =~ /\[~(\w+)\]/
              def newCommentBody = comment.body

              matcher.each {
                  target = "[~$nodeHelper.getUser(it[1])?.email]"
                  newCommentBody = newCommentBody.replace(it[0], target)
              }

              comment.body = newCommentBody
              comment
}

And then use similar logic on cloud to lookup a user using email
