Tickets in which my name is mentioned
Asked by Shirly Meresman:

Is there a way to see on Jira's board (I'm obviously a part of) **all** tickets that **I commented** on / or someone just tagged me?

When I tried the dipper search, I filtered to only one result... (which I can't explain) but I was absolutely tagged in more than 40 comments at least :eyeglasses:

Steps:

1. Go to your JIRA profile page.
2. Look in the URL, the ending string of characters is your id.
   1. ex. <https://yourjira.atlassian.net/jira/people/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX>
3. Then use that to build a filter with JQL.

ex. If you wanted to see all issues you were mentioned on in the last 7 days.  

```
comment ~ XXXXXXXXXX and updatedDate >= startofday(-7d) order by updatedDate
```

You could use [mentionsMe() and mentionsUser()](https://almbase.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/4021616647/Mention+JQL+functions) functions of our add-on [GO! JQL](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1225063/go-jql-essential-jql-functions?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) to search for issues that you or a particular user were mentioned in(including comments).

You could try the plugin for free!

Best,

Mehmet

As I understand, you need to find all tickets where your user has been mentioned.

You can do that in both ++*Jira and Confluence Jira macros by using Jira Query Language (JQL)*++and your accountID.

If you need to find tickets where you have been mentioned no matter where, you can use a simple query like this one:

```
text ~ accountid:555555:c55c5c5c-5c5c-5c55-5c55-cc555cc5555c
```

This query looks into *++any text within the tickets++* . The \~ operator is a looks for any occurrences of the string you gave it. ++*The acountID value can be found when you create a new ticket and mention a user.*++

Here is how:

> 1. *Go to Jira*
> 2. *Create a new Ticket*
> 3. *Mention yourself*
> 4. *Check that your mention looks like this \[My Name\|\~accountid:555555:c55c5c5c-5c5c-5c55-5c55-cc555cc5555c\]*
> 5. *Copy the accountid and the value that comes after it, nothing else*
> 6. *Use it with the query*

However, if you want to look solely within comments or the ticket description, you can use this:

```
description ~ accountid:555555:c55c5c5c-5c5c-5c55-5c55-cc555cc5555c

comment ~ accountid:555555:c55c5c5c-5c5c-5c55-5c55-cc555cc5555c
```

There is also a Feature request aiming at a simpler usage of this kind of search. Here, take a look:
> * ++***[\[Jira Cloud\] JQL search for @mentions](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-27594)***++

However, if you need to find ticket commented by someone specific, we will need to resort to third-party applications. Here, take a look into this older community thread:

> * ++***[\[Atlassian Community\] How to search a ticket "commented by" a user](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Core-questions/How-to-search-a-ticket-quot-commented-by-quot-a-user/qaq-p/923888)***++

I hope this shines some light! Looking forward to your reply.

body: So there's no simple way to just get a notification in JIRA's UI to see your own? Why even have mentions in your platform if they're just spit out in convoluted emails that you can't customize as a normal user. This is ridiculous.


author: Khaled Bediri
body: Totally agree! I can't believe the function does not exist out of the box...who wants to go through tons of tickets or email notifications to find out where he is needed


author: Kelly Kelly Kelly
body: 100%. Isn't that the point of this whole thing? The SQL queries are fine for devs, but what about other project participants?!

body: How is this still an issue? Is the mention feature ever going to be completed?
