Hi,

 

We need to know the username and the time watchers were added to Jira items.

 

Is it possible? If yes, how? 

 

Thanks,

Merav

Hello @Merav Katz

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

At the moment, the site audit log does not capture this information. So, it is not possible to identify who added a user as a watcher on the work items in Jira. 

We have an open Feature Request for this which is being tracked here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-80515

Thanks!

@Swathi Acharya The ticket linked above is a newer ticket, but there was a previous ticket with the same asked created in 2013. 

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-32125

With so many requests from Jira users 'gathering interest', can any intel be provided on when this feature might be enabled??? Would be more useful than renaming projects to spaces!
