When adding a name to the "people" field, are those users added as "watchers"? If not, is there a way to make them "watchers"?
people field? there is not field in called "people" that I'm aware of. Maybe this is a custom field in your instance?
People fields allow your team to insert people’s names from across your Jira site into a field on your issue view.
This is a field by Jira like labels, priority, or assignee added back in April.
"People fields" is a description of a type of field, it is not a field itself.
Which "people fields" are you looking at? Watchers is an free-form "people field" which allows people to add themselves, and also has some auto-watch functions. Adding to most people fields will not add to the watchers list, but you could code for it.
Hi Nic,
The "people" field in question can be viewed here and here. Please note, I am using a next-gen project in Jira Cloud.
