How to auto-Add my name to the watchlist of a project (New tickets)

Kodaganti Meghasri

I have a project 'X' and people are working on it. Now I want to see what is happening in the project. 

I can add myself to the watch list by selecting the tickets by applying filters. 

Now if I want to add myself for the new tickets, how do I do that? because everyday I cannot go and look for new tickets. By default any new ticket is created, I need my name to get added to the watchlist. 

Can someone help me on this?

Hello @Kodaganti Meghasri 

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

If you are the Project Administrator for this project then you can create an Automation Rule to add yourself as a Watcher on issues. If you are not a Project Administrator for the project you won't be able to create that rule.

What problem are you trying to solve by being a Watcher on every issue in the project?

Can you solve that problem by setting up a saved filter that retrieves the newly created issues, and then setting up a daily subscription to that filter to email the results to yourself?
