Webhook with JQL

Question

JQL function membersOf() is working fine when I use it to search issues on the Search page, but the same is not working as expected when I use it in the webhook JQL.

My filter uses JQL field "watcher".

Eg: watcher in membersOf("devops-team-members")

Any idea?

@Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__Yes, I tested both create and update operation. I think what you said for the create operation looks like a valid point.

In the case of update operation, the watcher is already available on the jira issue, but the webhook is not working.

This is really weird. @Yuvaraj M did you test both create and update operation? Maybe during Create operation, the watchers are set after webhook is invoked.

@Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__My webhook sends details about the issues to an external web application when an issue is created or updated. This webhook should work only on the issues where a watcher is part of this group - "devops-team-members". No additional configuration on this webhook.
