How can I view all the issues I am watching?

Question

I watch many issues and cannot keep up with the email notifications when things change.

I want to be able to have a list of issues that I am watching so I can see where they are now.

How is this done in JIRA?

You can enter the following JQL into the advanced search screen.

watcher = currentuser() or assignee = currentuser()

* click into the search box at the top of the menu
* Select advance search issues
* And the resulting view copy and paste the above text into the search bar
* Save the filter so you can reference later

@cprager , try using this JQL:

watcher = currentUser()

You can save it as a filter and add it to a dashboard using the Filter Results Macro.

Hi @cprager

Welcome to the Community!!

Use the below query

watcher = currentUser()

If you just need to list the issues which are still open, follow the below JQL

watcher = currentUser() AND resolution = Unresolved

Sometimes the issues you are working on (where you will be added as Assignee or reporter), you'll be a watcher by default and to exclude those issues, follow the below

watcher = currentUser() AND assignee != currentUser()

Let me know if you have any queries

Thanks,
