Jira - Auto watch after mentioned in as issue.

[fuataytan]

Hello There,

When someone mentions me in an issue, i get notification e-mail no problems here.

When another user (or the user mentioned me) comments on that issue i don't get any notification e-mail and this causes me miss important comments from i.e. : managament.

Do i need to manually click watch issue button or is there a way to enable autto watch when someone mentions me? I checked profile setting but autowatch is only available for the issues i create or comment.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Using Jira v7.5.0

Well i solved it by filtering not watched by me issues and bulk watching them.

When Issue volume is high its kind of tedious to watch every issue :/
