Automation - Add Multiple Watchers

[Deleted user]

Dear Community

I would like to add an automation in Jira Work Management.

Whenever an issue is updated or created, the watchers should be updated. In addition to already existing observers, the users that are selected in a custom field called
“Supporting Persons”
should be added as watchers.
How can I access this custom field and ultimately put a “for each” loop over it to add the observers?

Thanks for the help!

Hi @[deleted]

You should be able to clone and add the value from a multi-user picker field with the Manage Watchers action in Automation:

Add the Manage Watchers action to the Automation with the following SmartValue under the Add these watchers:

{{issue.customfield_<<SupportingPersons-fieldID>>}}

Please update the <<SupportingPersons-fieldID>> according to your environment.

Thank you.
