[Issue Alerts] Allow user details to be used as tags in Slack notificationsΒ #104043

Problem Statement

When creating/editing an issue alert rule, you can provide a comma-separated list of addition tags to append to a Slack notification.

I see two problems with this feature:

  1. There are no clues indicating which tags can be entered. The input is a simple text field and does not offer any kind of autocomplete.
  2. There are tags that don't seem to be valid here, for example user details.
    • E.g., I wanted to append the email of the affected user to the Slack notification.
    • I tried user.email, user_email, email, User: Email, "User: Email".
    • None of them worked.

Solution Brainstorm

  1. Provide a list of available tags when the input is selected, for example via auto-completion, a drop-down or a multi-select list in a modal.
  2. Add user details to the list of available tags.
