Automation for Reporter of JPD to be added as Watcher of Delivery ticket

[Blake Falanga]

Hi all - 

Has anyone been able to figure out a way for the creator of a Jira Product Discovery ticket to automatically be added as a Watcher when a JPD ticket is promoted to another ticket type in Jira Software? 

Thank you!

Hi @Blake Falanga ,

Using an automation like the one below, I was able to have the creator of the JPD idea be added as a watcher to the Jira delivery ticket that was created from the idea:

The smart value used in the Add these watchers field above is: {{destinationIssue.creator}}

Here's a test as well:

Idea:

Delivery:

This worked perfectly, thank you so much @Nick Haller !

How would I go about doing this for idea watchers?

I want the watchers of my idea tickets to be automatically added as watchers on my delivery tickets.
