Hello @tejashree avinash aringle

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to select and copy fields (like watchers) when splitting an issue. We have the following feature request created to consider this implementation in the future:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-14360 

Feel free to vote and watch the suggestion to increase its priority and also receive notifications about any updates.

Since you mentioned that you would like to copy the watchers only a single time, you could export the source issue to CSV, copy the list of watchers and properly add them to the new issue created from the split. 

Let us know if you need more details on how to apply the steps above or have any other questions.
