Escaping of Workitem Description to prevent user link creation
Accepted answer
Prefix with "\", which leads to "test@\@blabal". This way it does not display as link.
Note: even if @blabal is displayed as link - hover tells you "More information is not available" - this link will not display as "Mentions" link (because it is not an existing user name).

Thanks for the answer. This was also my first try. But unfortunately this leads to the problem that if someone copy and paste the ClearCase Label he has to now that he has to delete the "\".
Must this information be placed in the description?
- if not, what about a dedicated attribute?
- or as we often do in our environment: we put important Identifiers, or keywords ... in the summary, which is helpful, if users typically search for such labels.
You are right. A customer attribute would be the best.
