Require tips on implementing @mention tag functionality in Appian in text and paragraph fields?

Certified Senior Developer

The Business wants to implement a functionality where, a User Tag can be added to a note [paragraph field] to a new/existing record. What is the best way to achieve this without having to perform a lot of post-processing in the system.

Example: [Text] @UserName1 [Some More Text] @UserName2 [Additional Text]

Should trigger emails to the mentioned users about the note added.


Current Suggested Solution: have a user picker where user can tag users and below the user can add the notes in paragraph field. Which most likely be rejected due to extra clicks, and it might also cause some ambiguity otherwise requiring tagged users to be mentioned again in the added note itself.
