Previously in Jira (mid-late 2020 and before), once I clicked the 'eye' to watch an issue, I was a watcher on that item in perpetuity.
At some point, this changed. Somewhere in our issue workflow, all watchers are now being removed from an issue. I can't tell exactly where this is happening; it seems to happen in more than one transition.
Was this a change to functionality, or is this a bug? Can this be corrected inside my organization's specific workflows anywhere?
