Adding Watcher to issue creation screen?

Keenan McCrary

Is it still possible to add watchers using a multi-user picker at issue creation screen?  

I followed these instructions: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-add-watchers-or-request-participants-during-issue-creation-1026039857.html

 

And once I get to add post function "Copy Value From Other Field" my custom fields don't appear in source field and there is no Watchers or Request Participants in the destination field

Hi @Keenan McCrary ,

I would recommend you to create automation rule for this, something like:

When issue is created, then Manage watchers:

Add these watchers and use smart value:

{{triggerIssue.Your custom field name}}

Your custom field name should have "User Picker (multiple users)" type.
