Configure the @mention properties

Hello,

When using the @mention in a form for example request or incident we can just see the "First name + Last name" of a person. Is it possible to add the user ID under the name or configure this is some way to make it more clear who you are mentioning? I will add a screenshot of the problem

I believe it uses the display field of sys_user table. You can try to set the display field to user_name and see if it works.

Hi, did you ever solve this issue?

ServiceNow has PRB727205 for this, with no solution.
If you like them to fix this, please create incident on HI to get them to prioritize it.

Suggested workaround:
You can try to change the calculated field "name" in sys_user table to calculate first name + last name + (email), so it'd look like in the attached screen capture.
Keep in mind that by doing this, you'll see name + last name + (email) when the system is displaying the user name unless you also change the display field of sys_user table to another field.

This is the only helpful answer I could find. But comes at a cost. Now every where user name is mentioned, it shows email. Thank you for the solution though. Not sure, if business will but it.
