Lookup user
By 29 April 2019, Atlassian will remove personal data from the API that is used to identify users, such as username
and userKey
, and instead, use the Atlassian account ID (accountId
). These are the impacts on JMWE:
- If the JQL in your existing "Link issue to current issue" post-functions are using the
username
or theuserkey
they need to be replaced with theaccountId
. - If you are adding/modifying the JQL in the Link issues to current issue post-function you should not anymore specify the
username
oruserkey
but only theaccountId
. For example, JQL return the issues assigned to a specific user
However, the accountId
is not obvious in Jira. You can use this Lookup user feature in the Nunjucks editor to find the accountId
of a user. To know the accountId
of a user:
- Click on the Lookup user button
- Select the user from
Search for user
- Click on Insert accountId

...
- Test the JQL expression, as explained above. The following result will be displayed.
- Identify the problem, from the
Message

- Retest the expression, by clicking on

and verify the result in the template test panel.
