Both global and personal "auto watch" features are set to enabled. User who is a member of service desk team is not added as a watcher automatically after creating an issue or commenting.

Hi @Brian Carroll 

Welcome to the community.

Is this user creating issues via the customer portal?

Issues created vai the customer portal are seen as a customer creating a request and there for auto watch doesn't apply, as this is a function for internal created issues

If this is indeed based on internal created issues, see JSDSERVER-6615 and apply the workaround.
