Watched Issues Filter Not Working Properly

Robert DelFave

I am looking to have a custom count in a Filter Count widget to show the total number of Watched Issues by any of my team members. 

I created the filter using 

watcher = currentUser()

When you load the Filter Count widget, it shows 1 but there are many more issues being watched.

When clicking into the count, the JQL is switched to: 

filter in ("10369") AND watcher = currentUser()

Any suggestions?

Hello @Robert DelFave 

Welcome to the community.

When you add the gadget to your dashboard you must specify a project or a saved filter for the gadget to use. When you add a count (custom or otherwise) it will count the issue that match your count criteria that are within the filter you've applied to the gadget.

What filter did you apply to the gadget?

When you click through on the count, you are taken to the search screen where that filter plus your criteria is being applied to give you the results.
