Dependencies to the Reporter

It may be useful to display data related to the Reporter. To do that, you can reference the reporter attributes in a Connected item query. The $reporter variable is available and exposes several attributes:

Type	Name	Description	Example
String	displayName	Returns a string which corresponds to the reporter's display name	$reporter.displayName > "John Doe"
String	emailAddress	Returns a string which corresponds to the reporter's email address	$reporter.emailAddress > "john.doe@elements-apps.com"
String	accountId	Returns a unique identifier which corresponds to the reporter's Atlassian account ID	$reporter.accountId > "8878ccae-33566-3e50-b27a"

By default, the "$reporter" variable is resolved to "$reporter.displayName".

Example

Referencing properties of the $reporter variable works the same way as referencing the value of other Connected items.
Here is an example:

SELECT role, manager
FROM employees
WHERE name = $reporter

SQL

is resolved into:

SELECT role, manager
FROM employees
WHERE name = 'Brice Gestas'

SQL

Important note

Due to Jira Cloud limitations, the $reporter variable cannot be resolved on Portal request creation screens and issue creation screens. Instead, it will be resolved to an empty string.

In order to have it correctly resolved, you will need to click "Edit" from the Connected items glance panel in the issue view:
