Mention FullName from Jira On-Premise to Jira Cloud comment sync

Originally asked by Anthony Alberto on 03 June 2024 (original question)


Currently, when a user is mentioned from Jira-On Premise (outgoing), the mention appears on Jira Cloud (incoming) using the mentioned user’s username. The problem is, the usernames we use do not include any of the user’s name, so the user is unidentifiable when it appears on Jira Cloud. We already tried changing “getUserByUsername” to

"getUserByFullName" or "getUserByEmail"

We followed the instructions here:

We were able to fix Jira Cloud (outgoing) to Jira On-Premise (incoming) sync. Meaning, when a user is mentioned from Jira Cloud, the user’s full name appears on the Jira-On Premise comment.
