Not able to remove myself as a watcher

I am not able to remove myself as a watcher on an issue. I removed myself and it shows watcher as 0. Then I refresh the issue. watcher count is 1 again.

Why can't I remove myself as a watcher? Any idea?

That's odd. Do you have any custom add-on in place that adds WATCHERS automatically to a ticket with certain conditions?

Can you make sure that you have the *Manage Watchers* permissions for this project?

Also, try doing this test with a different browser.

We faced same issue. I was able to find the workaround (for the situation you have proper permission to remove yourself from the watchers list).

Please find below:

Stop watching this issue
Start watching this issue
Refresh the browser
Stop watching this issue
Refresh the browser

You can also ask the JIRA Admin to do it:

Remove the user from watchers
Add the user to watchers
Refresh the browser
Remove the user from watchers
Refresh the browser

Hi @Dorota Gut-Knapik I had this issue and tried the workaround and worked like a charm, can I ask how did you find this workaround?

Anyways, thanks a lot for the information it was very useful.

Thanks,

Thales

The reason is bug in Jira https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-35622
