Auto watchers on create transition

manikanta ch

Hello All,

I have added below script in script runner postfunction on create transition to automatically add user to the Watcher field on create transition. But below script is adding only single user to the watcher field, How do i add multiple users to watchers field?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

def userName = "Atanu_Mandal" // name of the user
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
MutableIssue issues = issue as MutableIssue
def user = userManager.getUserByName(userName)

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()

watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)

Thanks in advance,

CH

If you have a collection of usernames, you can use for loop to add those users to the watchers. This code is untested but should give you a rough idea.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue


List userNameList = ["Atanu_Mandal", "user1", "user2"]

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()

MutableIssue issues = issue as MutableIssue

for (def userName: userNameList) {
  def user = userManager.getUserByName(userName)
  watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)

}
