Automation for Reporter of JPD to be added as Watcher of Delivery ticket

Question

Hi all -

Has anyone been able to figure out a way for the creator of a Jira Product Discovery ticket to automatically be added as a Watcher when a JPD ticket is promoted to another ticket type in Jira Software?

Thank you!

Blake

How would I go about doing this for idea watchers?

I want the watchers of my idea tickets to be automatically added as watchers on my delivery tickets.

The smart value used in the Add these watchers field above is: {{destinationIssue.creator}}

Here's a test as well:
