    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You need to have a Custom EditorContributor for Message Board , you
  can refer below for that&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;a href="https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017882652-Modifying-an-Editor-s-Configuration"&gt;https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017882652-Modifying-an-Editor-s-Configuration &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also you can refer below BaseMentionsEditorConfigContributor ,which
  is being used and change the screenname to fullname in that &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
