Pulling @mentioned from Azure

[Anonymous]

Hi Folks,

I'm wondering if there is a way to pull work items from Azure DevOps in which the user has been mentioned in the work item discussion. I can't see amy fields for this in the analytics view. Are there any particular work arounds you are aware of? 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for raising your concern. We really apologize for the inconvenience caused. After reviewing the details you provided, please follow the steps below, which might resolve the issue.

In Azure DevOps, you can create custom queries to filter work items based on specific criteria. While there isn't a direct field for @mentions, you can utilize the "Assigned To" or "Created By" fields along with other filters to refine the work items.

Additionally, you can configure notifications in Azure DevOps to alert you when you are mentioned in a work item discussion, helping you keep track of mentions without manual searches.

Hi @Anonymous  I think you could use Rest API

Fetch the discussion comments of work items using the Azure DevOps REST API.

Parse the comments to look for @mentions of the user
