How to compose a message containing mentions (@user)

Hi!

I would like to compose a message containing several blocks like

        block.addSectionBlock({
            text: block.newMarkdownTextObject('@proofreader'),
        });

where ‘proofreader’ is a regular user. Unfortunetaly this renders only as normal noninteractive text.
What do I need to do to get “proofreader” renders as a mention in the message?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Have you tried sending it as a regular text?

Sorry, I have little experience in dev. I suggest you to try asking at:

thanks!

Hi!

Yes. That was what I did too:

        block.addSectionBlock({
            text: block.newPlainTextObject('@proofreader'),
        });

That makes no difference…
Regards!

I have asked for help internally. We should have a feedback soon :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, right now any mentions within ui kit blocks are ignored :frowning:

But I passed this thread to our dev team, and they will probably look at this issue sometime in the future.
