Is it possible to filter a JWM company-managed project by the issues I am watching?

Question

I know it is possible to create a JQL Filter such as the one below to return a list of all issues, but I am hoping to find a way where users can filter the Board/List views, ideally from the Quick Filters on each screen, to only show the issues they are watching?

project = X and watcher = currentUser() AND statusCategory != Done ORDER BY created ASC

I don't think it is natively possible to do this in JWM, but wondering if anyone has found a way to populate a hidden custom field and then build a Quick Filter based on that field?

Hi @Marc -Devoteam-

That is what I did, but it only returns issues that I am the "Assignee" for, and not issues that I am "watching" but am not assigned to (which is what I want).

Hi @Tim Corringham

Select yourself from the assignee part, scroll down, status will be shown also and select the required ones.

After this you are able to save the filter, this will appear beside the FILTERS text on top.

Hi @Marc -Devoteam-

Thanks for your quick response.

The only options I see in the Filter list is "Assigned to me" and then I can filter by "Assignee" and "Reporter" (see attached screenshot) - there are no other "user" fields I can filter by? When I select myself in "Assignee" it (understandably) only filters issues that I am assigned to rather than those that I am watching.
